My 2 cents: If you have to leave your dog at the campsite the best thing you can do for them is to take them for a long walk before you leave. Besides reducing their anxiety by getting rid of excess energy, this will help them sleep while you gone. It's hard for them to bark while they're sleeping.
Everywhere we go to which are ACOE or State Parks every one has always had the rule that you are not permitted to leave your dog unattended. Unattended also applies to unattended in your rig while you leave the facility. Unfortunately the rule often go's by the wayside as the facilities are all understaffed, so enforcement is problematic.
I agree with you, though there are RV parks where it is permissible to leave your pet in the camper as long as it doesn't bother the neighbors.
Despite the rules, a lot of people will leave their pet for a time - especially in National Parks where pets are looked upon as a tasty treat and thus have their access to trails restricted. Again I encourage those people to exercise their dog before they leave in order to help reduce some of the problems which might occur in their absence.
