You are upset with the park because of these reasons?
1. when you arrive they do not want rigs to block the entrance.
2. They are not a Good Sam park and hence do not give a Good Sam discount on the weekends.
3. The sites are difficult for a large rig to back in to.
4. They have a sign that only personal trash should be put into the waste area.
5. They don't have a robust recycling program

In my opinion I am glad they have rule #1. I don't like being stuck on the road trying to enter or leave the park become some joker decides the best place to park while registering is in the middle of the gate.
As for rule #2, I wouldn't expect to get a Good Sam discount at a non Good Sam park, any more than I would expect my Costco card to get me a tee time at Augusta National.
#3 is a legit concern for me as well, but I do realize the larger the rig, the harder it will be to get into any site. And you do have a large rig.
I can sure see where people bringing outside trash, disposing of old refrigerators and otherwise abusing the trash system could be an issue. That's why you see "no dumping" signs on rural roads. Since I don't transport trash, it sure wouldn't be a problem for me to only put my personally generated trash in the trash containers.
As for recycling, personally it doesn't move the needle for me. They offer it, and just because you feel it is inadequate, I sure wouldn't let that ruin my weekend.

In response to others, there is a whole lot of gray area between having and enforcing rules, and being a prison camp. I can surely see where some video would be beneficial in both preventing problems and justifying any rule enforcement. I wouldn't be surprised if all their video claims are really just a bluff. Fake video cameras and signs that say "this area is monitored by video" are big businesses, since people tend to behave a lot better when they think they are being watched. Sometimes a little paranoia goes a long way in keeping people on the straight and narrow.

I kind agree that the OP's criticism seems a bit over the top.
However the office staff should have given or suggested the OP take a pull through site in the open area to allow easier access to the site.

Recycling,trash bins,entry area parking and cameras are really not substantial issues in my book.
