It's a shame that a place that you've previously camped at (and enjoyed), has changed the rules, either due to outside influence (insurance or local ordinance) - or due to previous RVers abusing the rules about picking up, etc.
Personally, I would call them. I'd say "Hi, I'm Deb, we've camped there before with our 4 dogs, but now I see you've changed your rules" - and then see what they say? Perhaps, this rule was set up to keep a few specific people out, and they will invite you to camp? This has happened more than once for us, where a rule was enforced "selectively" (my 70-lb Aussie was allowed in a "35-lb and under" park; or my 3 dogs were allowed in a 2-dog park. I didn't ASK for the exception - it was offered) What's the worst that can happen? - they say no exceptions. Then you thank them and tell them you will miss their lovely RV park. And look for another.
Let me ask a question. Lets assume the park manager/owner allows an exception. Who would be held liable should your pet becomes aggressive toward a child or adult walking by, The pet owner? the park manager/owner?. I believe all should abide by rules, no exceptions.
If I have one dog (within the rules) and it bites someone or becomes aggressive, who's liable? Just because a park made an exception, doesn't change who is liable.
