If you had actually talked to someone at a campground they would have
known. I have never had to explain to anyone at a state or USACE
campground in Alabama what a VW camper is, and I've stayed about every
place you can stay multiple times.

I'll bet you would have gotten the same answer from this person,
sitting behind a desk in a tall office building in Richmond, no matter
what you asked about.
