But what that statement means is I can understand the question.
Also, the question opens ye-old, can of worms.. And that too can cause issues, it can cause people to get, shall we say, a bit "Warm" (Flame on) and flaming can also get a thread closed or deleted... So I understand the question.
I will say this: If I had my choice between two campgrounds, basically equal save for the waiver.. I'd choose the one that did NOT require the waiver. And let someone know why.
That said; one of my RVing friends, has been sued.. High wind, they tried to take down a tent (Danger of it being blown away) it got away from them and a family that stopped to laugh (Downwind of course) got hurt.. Family sued both Campground and Campers..

(Had I been there I'd have helped him but alas it was my week out).
