Build a Resort

I really get the impression of a kind of a club's lodge or upscale youth sleepover camps from your entry. Like it's not a bad thing at all, since it's also quite a unique way to showcase your entry. From these vibes I feel like this is a place for city people to go camping, where they're not too separated from urban society, and always have the option to go back indoors. It feels like you could have maybe divided and filled the indoor space of the shell better if you figured out a better idea with what you were going with, like a large eating cafeteria indoors maybe. It also seems that your tents area is pushed off to the side a bit, due to the larger terrace at the back, which likely shouldn't have been that big.

Continuing what I mentioned above, it feels like this entry has a lot of potential but could have been executed a bit better. There seems like a lot of wasted space inside of this shell which doesn't quite work with the idea of a campground. Likewise, I should mention, what is the purpose of having such a large washroom and why are there chairs beside the showers? However, on the outside, your beautiful landscaping and perfectly planned out true camp ground makes up for my doubts on the glamourous, wooden interior. I can see that you thought of the idea of a camp ground, but could not go much further beyond it unfortunately.

Destination theme 4.5
I finally get what you're doing, it took me a while to figure it out, but you're doing the United States as your destination. Something like a grand, cross-country trip, which I understand through your chosen locations all in different points of the country. I honestly did not understand this primarily when your chosen destination was 'America', but you seem to make it work. It's just unfortunate that this idea is trumped by regular realism, but hey, this is Sims after all.

Nice visitor's centre on the campground, it has a good setup of furniture, placed together well so that there are less empty spaces. There's a selection of carpets on the floors that make it visually better than only floorboards. The flow is good. I like the exterior decorations too, the pine trees in front, the stone pathways, and variety of bushes and flowers. Definitely a good property to visit. There wasn't much expansion of the main building, aside from the front terrace, and the roof on the building, and so build skill remains average.

I like the way you've expanded the shell by adding a front and side porch! For me though the interior layout is a little odd. The reception is way at the back of the building, the bathroom is huge and unisex (which would be unusual in the US), and there's a lovely kitchen but no indoor eating area (what if it rains?). The fire pit is a really nice touch.

The interior decorating is quite charming. It all fits in well with the theme. The only thing that really bothers me are the campsites. There are no amenities or any furnishings (apart from tents) at the individual campsites, which would be very odd in a typical US campground. Having some chairs, kids' toys, individual barbecues (are there any in TS4? If not, disregard) etc at each site would make them feel much more lived-in and realistic.
