Apparently the park in question does not have well defined parking pads. A handout isn't the answer, the answer is to either take steps to define those pads or escort the guests and show them the parking area.

Why don't you print off a bunch of informational fliers that is given to each camper at time of check-in with a picture drawing of a camper with slides out inside the lines. This is non intrusive. Later, walk around the campground and tell offenders they need to move inside the lines. It's your campground. If they don't follow the guidelines, it's on you. You are the manager. Insist they move their camper when you see that.
There's a difference between providing instructions and then requiring people to correct themselves when they don't follow those instructions and just going around and making people move because you don't like how they are parked.
