I think for the OP, he should refrain from arguing about the "stealing of fingerprints" and focus on the ability for authorized persons (wife, children, etc.), to access their lot.
Is the campground only requesting the OP's fingerprints? Or are they asking for those who signed the contract? Or the adults in the immediate family? Or the entire immediate family?
If the OP brings his inlaws for a stay, is there a "guest card access" provided to them? Or will the OP have to let them in and out of the campground personally? What about kids? If the OP's 17 year old son comes out to join his parents for the weekend, will he have fingerprint access? Or a guest access card?
If I were the OP, I would question the campground on the practicality of fingerprint access and voice concern where needed. Point out the increased work for the campground staff, the inconveniences to the lot owners (and their potential dissatisfaction due to those inconveniences), etc., and you're more likely to get the company to rethink the plan.
Going in and talking about "what ifs" won't sway them. Talking about practicalities will.
