Private property means you can pretty much do what you want.
OTOH how many would check into a campground posted rules like "Keep your kids out of street, there are no speed limits!", "Owners of small dogs beware, no training is required, all dogs are free to bark and roam free!"
or "Play your music as loud/long as you want!"
.
Ironically, we went to a highly-recommended campground for a family campout that had previously been owned by a church; but then got bought out by a group who supported medical marijuana by the time we went there. They proudly declared "Our only rule is that there aren't any rules". They provided live music for the whole campground - fortunately we enjoy the Grateful Dead and Tom Petty, etc - and they DID stop blaring it around midnight. Our covered picnic table pavilion had the biggest wasp nest I've ever seen - thank God for awnings on motorhomes. And the women's shower, which one paid to use, didn't have a water heater that functioned (they had one on hand, just hadn't gotten around to installing it). They offered kayaking on a nearby river - it hadn't been maintained and a "beginner-friendly" paddle started with a thigh-deep muck-wading entry point, and had more portages than I've ever experienced on "wild" rivers. The one good point - all the campers were exceptionally friendly and nice....LOL!
While it made for a slew of great stories to be told later around campfires - I can truly appreciate a well-managed park with sensible rules!!
