Who told you that you are renting land? Who told you that you have rights?

The law. Here's an example, from California, refering to the payments as "rent." And here's one from Indiana, which says

"Campground" means an area or tract of land where campsites are leased or rented

...and Virginia...

"Campground" means any area, place, parcel, or tract of land,... for the accommodation of camping units for periods of overnight or longer, whether the use of the campsites and facilities is granted gratuitously, or by rental fee, lease,...

I am going to go out on a limb here and say it is absolutely NOT like renting a house. It is not a rental agreement or a lease that is signed.

That limb just snapped. Now stop making stuff up.

Nothing you've posted indicates that you get full control of the site when you "rent" or "lease" it. Nothing indicates you have full rights of a landowner. I can rent a car. That doesn't mean I get to paint it or change out the rims.
I concede that some do rent for longer periods of time and the agreements could be different. This was not the case for the OP.

There are volumes of laws exactly defining the differences between being a landlord who rents property and an Innkeeper who provides lodging for guests. RV parks generally fall under Innkeeper laws. Only when there are site rentals that exceed a clearly defined length of time (generally 6 consecutive months, it varies by jurisdiction) do landlord/tenant laws apply. Speaking in generalities, an Innkeeper has much greater latitude in setting rules and guests have limited rights compared to landlords and tenants.
