I've never seen $5 per car-load, but often see $5 per person in various CG rules for day visitors.
Actually, I don't think the policy enforcement is a black mark for the campground. It's very clear on their website that it is per person. The place shows a pool and other amenities your visitors could have used if they had chosen to. You could have met them somewhere outside the RV park if you didn't want to pay the $20 - but then again - you couldn't hang out in a restaurant for free, and most state parks charge fees for day visitors, too.
If I were an RV park owner, I would not want to create an environment allowing big groups of people arriving to use my property and facility for free, partying while visiting one camping friend, crowding out the campers at the pool etc., and I definitely wouldn't want to be the camper in the next site. (I'm sure your relatives were well-behaved.) So I would set such a rule, too. It obviously would have to apply to all day visitors.
But it sounds like "working to solve the complaint" you had hoped for meant you wanted them to waive the fee because you complained.
