Pets are NOT to be left unattended... what??
Does this phrase in a campground description mean that we aren't allowed to leave our dogs alone in the RV when we are touring? That's how it reads to me, but that also doesn't make sense to me. ...

Absolute means that even if the dogs has been debarked, the rule still reads the same. Allow you to leave your dog unattended and it's ok for everyone to do so.
Dog bashing...you are barking up the wrong tree I'm afraid. We have three that go with us. They are fine unless there is something to bark at and there is always something in a campground to bark at. That's why we boondock so we don't have hear them or any others. ( or drunks, generators, music etc etc etc.)
Up there you can even leave them unattended in side or outside on a tether if you want, even let them run loose if that floats your boat, their barking will bother no one. The absolute is that the critters they attract will see them as snack cracker and cheese on a string. Even in a trailer our dogs attracted a pack of coyotes, I would never leave them alone even if there is no written rule forbidding it.
There was a thread like this a while back. The campground was terrible because they kicked the guy out for having his dog on a tether and was unattended for only the amount of time it took the owner to go to the bathroom. Was he suppose to bring the dog in just for that short of a time? It was well behaved, didn't bark, he was in the camper...blah blah blah.
As the thread progressed it became clear that the owner was told at check in not to leave it unattended and did it anyways. Once caught was warned again and yet did it again the next day where the owner caught him and kicked him out. It wasn't that the dog barked or was viscous, just that it was unattended on a tether. The CG owner didn't care that someone was inside of the trailer working all day. (not going to the bathroom) It was his campground and his right to make and enforce the rules and in this case the rule was absolute.
You may be right and the rule doesn't apply to you. You think your dog is quiet and well behaved and if so, you will probably never have a issue. Just don't be surprised if one day you are asked to leave for breaking the rules because they are the ones that interpret the rules and enforcement.
