Let me say that I have no issue at all complying with any of these rules, they just seem like common sense. These are common CG rules AFAIK.
I'm not sure if this is what CG owners are dealing with these days or if I'm going to hear banjos playing near my site after dark. At least 6 instances of "we will evict you with no refunds given" and not a single "thank you for your business"....
Am I headed to the redneck oasis or is this just the state of RVing in 2022?

A few of my regular CG's have been recently purchased by big corporations.
For the most part everything has been good. There has been noticable improvements and investments as well as price increases.
Firmly stating the rules could now be standard procedure for all the newbies entering the RV world.
The CG is stating up front there will be law and order. There is also no excuse for not knowing the rules.
In the long run how well the rules are enforced is the real issue.
I have been to places where there are too many rules and the CG is a bit too strict. I have also been to places that are too relaxed and none of the rulesare enforced.
Hopefully you will hit the sweet spot where lots of rules are not necessary, but there is someone around to enforce the rules when needed.
But if you hear banjos at check-in and there is not a Bluegrass festival on the agenda, keep on moving!

I agree it sounds like they have had problems in the past and are working hard to stop it.
If it's new ownership, I wouldn't worry too much - they probably inherited a problem and are making it clear they won't allow it to happen under their ownership.
If it's not a new owner then I would be more concerned. They may be doing this because they got in trouble in the past for allowing it, or the campground may be getting infiltrated by scum.

I agree with everything mentioned, let me add one small Item. Check the REVIEWS on the campground, best way to find what is actually going on.

What is wrong with a CG providing their legal expectations? Maybe not the best written but maybe they are trying to keep it as succinct as possible. They deal with the decent and unruly. Same message goes to all. No miscommunications.

Welcome to the Nanny State, where multitudes of rules need shoved in your face and they have to keep you safe.
The firewood rules are special. Invasive insects do not infest processed wood such as scraps from pallets, but you can conveniently buy our overpriced green bundles that will not light without 5 gallons of gas. No **** toys with remote controls or ones that require batteries lol. Sounds like a fun place.

The state that they are in may restrict evictions without cause. This just covers their collective behinds. I'm OK with it.
Too many clowns out there.
