Bad experience Lancaster KOA
Recently stayed at this KOA. Wife has mobility issues & uses cane/ walker. Asked if our friends could come to pick us up without paying $18 fee- NO. Could you take her in golf cart to gate - NO, it's ...

Let's face it, there are folks who will take advantage of every situation. As pointed out by WRVPO, there are folks who will do exactly what is described. Doesn't mean all handicapped people are that way, but there are enough to warrant some level of concern/suspicion.
There are panhandlers that take advantage of situations, there are folks who look for anything to complain about at a restaurant so they can get their meal comped.... My wife actually knows one.
There are even folks out there that take advantage of that new Pokemon game to lie in wait and rob folks.
Bottom line - there are dishonest people of all walks of life. Certainly not saying that the OP is one of those, but you have to at least acknowledge that predatory type folks who threaten to sue, in order to receive a payout, are out there, and it certainly damages a business. I've seen it as well and experienced it first hand with my niece's business. Unfortunately for her (us), she tried to fight, and it cost way more than it would have to settle.
Having said all that, it would have been nice, if the campground would have tried to make some accommodations, but it certainly doesn't rise to the level of an ADA complaint. And, as I pointed out earlier, we don't know if the person the OP talked to was even empowered to waive a policy. If he/she was NOT authorized to do so, to criticize him or her for not waiving it is totally unfair.
