ADA requires reasonable accommodation of the disability. Based on OP's description, what was requested was reasonable if the distance from the campsite to the gate could not be easily traversed by the HC person. In addition to posting to the various campsite review sites, formal ADA complaint should be filed with a copy to the CG and to KOA main office.
As far as whether or not the requests were reasonable, in my opinion absolutely not. Why should a disabled person get to bring in guests without a fee when everyone else has to pay. Not all parks have the ability to monitor all visitors. We can, but we are in Montana and very few of our guests from Thailand have visitors stopping by. But if a park is located a short distance from major metro areas and serves primarily locals, it would be close to impossible to administer some visitors in free and others pay.
As for the golf cart, our insurance specifies that we are not to allow any non employee to operate or ride in park vehicles. Maybe as the owner I would take that chance, buy I don't empower my employees to make that decision.
You have a well earned reputation on this site, and it isn't a good one. However, this may be a new low, even for you....
Actually based on prior posts I certainly would frequent her (IIRC) campground if I ever was in the area and knew which one it was.
and what part of "As for the golf cart, our insurance specifies that we are not to allow any non employee to operate or ride in park vehicles. Maybe as the owner I would take that chance, buy I don't empower my employees to make that decision." was it difficult for you to understand?

I don't think anyone on here said They had to cater to the peopleThey had to cater to the people...but a reasonable accommodation WOULD HAVE LET THE PEOPLE PICK HER UP AT HER SITE.....AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED NO HARDSHIP TO THE OWNERS/MANAGERS OF THE CAMPGROUND...and the ADA is about reasonable accommodations ....now if they abused it....then it would have ended...Chuck
