Office worker is sympathetic, but says: "They bought their lot so there is nothing that we can do".
The next time I see the owner, they are very upset that I would contact the office about their dog. Lots of NEGATIVE attitude toward DW and I and very uncomfortable around the camp site.
We leave next week for points west. Lesson learned = KMS. Keep Mouth Shut.
Thank you all for your points of view. Thank you moderator for allowing this post for it is somewhat educational.
Safe travels to all.

It's commendable that you tried to handle this civilly with owner first. Unfortunately, it went the way I thought it was MOST LIKELY to go. I started to post yesterday that I thought the odds were against the owner taking responsibility for and rectifying the problem, and that they would probably respond with a) disbelief or b) belligerence. Sounds like you got a little of both.
I don't buy for minute though the office workers statement that there is nothing they can do. Places like that have all sorts of restrictions in the paperwork that the site buyers have to sign at closing, just like in any other exclusive community. The fact that they bought their site does not exempt them from any laws or ordinances.
If the resort owners won't step up to the problem, there are municipal authorities that can be brought to bear. Local police, sheriffs office, code enforcement, or animal control will have the authority to enforce local noise or disturbance ordinances. The fact that the disturbance is extending beyond the boundary of the site their RV is on is reason enough for them to get involved.
It's a shame there are numb-skulls out there like this, but unfortunately there are.
