Decent campground, very pushy and overbearing staff

So overall our 2 week stay at Lazy Acres wasn't all bad, but we definitely started on a bad note, and our treatment by the staff was unacceptable. My family and I live in our 44' 5th wheel full time, and we have a system for getting into and setting up at a site: My wife normally follows the staff member in her van and lets me know if there are any issues with clearance on the radio. We've run into multiple instances where we would have sustained damage or gotten into a bad spot if we didn't take that precaution. When my wife got ready to follow the staff person, he insisted that I follow him and she drive behind me, to the point that he refused us entry into the park unless we did it his way. We decided to try and be cooperative, and followed him as he directed. When we got to our site, he insisted on guiding me in. He absolutely would not let me pull in with my wife directing me. This is something that we are very particular about as we've had more than one experience with staff giving us bad directions and/or not knowing how to deal with a rig our size. We tried to explain this, but he refused to let us stay and refused a refund unless he was the one guiding me. His explanation was that he was responsible for any damage to the park so he had to be in control.(Which I don't think is correct at all, given how we carry vehicle and RV insurance.) We had already paid for 2 weeks in advance, so we agreed against our better judgement. The staff member ended up directing us into an awkward place in the site that made it difficult to level the rig, and he literally stood there at the front of the site watching us until we were unhooked and leveled, to be sure we didn't try and move our rig. Fast forward a few days... The weather forecast was calling for temperatures possibly going below freezing later in the week, so we got an email from the staff saying that we needed to disconnect if we weren't using a heated hose(which is totally fine). We were out the day when we got the email, and when we returned to the park that afternoon, we were given a rather rude letter at the camp office demanding that we disconnect on specific dates by 6pm, or else we would have our water disconnected and would be charged$10 for failing to disconnect. The letter was somewhat off-putting, but we shrugged and returned to our site, only to find another copy of the rude letter taped to the door of our rig! Over the next week or so, any time there was a chance of freezing weather in the forecast, staff members would drive around the park shortly after 6, checking everyone's hoses and knocking on doors of anyone still connected, telling them to disconnect. This is very disappointing, especially since there are some nice things about the park, like the new concrete pads, fire rings, fishing pond, and exploring trails. Unfortunately, for us the interaction with the staff member overbalanced any positive experiences we had, so we won't be returning.
