Kid friendly parks just plain have more things to potentially go wrong, and hence more chances for a bad review. Kids running around unsupervised will either earn a bad review from another camper if the kids aren't brought under control, or a bad review from the parents because the overbearing, rules waving Neo-Nazi park owner asked them to reel in their kids.
All those amenities for children cost money. The more things cost, the higher the rates and there is a group of people that will give a bad review to every single park that charges more than they want to pay, regardless of whether or not it is actually worth it. If you don't include everything in one fee, we get the "they nickel and dimed us to death" review.
Then all those kid friendly amenities are prone to be criticized. The playground is too small. The pool is too crowded. The jump house made their child barf. There were weeds in the ball fields. Things close up too early. They stay open too late.
Most RV parks tend to be children tolerant, not children friendly. They cater to travelers and a few kid items generally keep everyone reasonably happy. If you want true kid friendly, you need to look for the Yogi Jellystone Parks, the KOA resorts and parks affiliated with amusement parks and the like. RV Parks tend to be like mid level hotels. They don't actively spurn children, but it sure isn't their bread and butter customer.
