We pulled into a CG in Leavenworth WA a couple of years ago and they had a sign at the front gate stating no AC units were to be used due to the main breaker tripping. It was hotter than @#$% out too! There was a forest fire burning not too far away and plus it being so hot out, the CG wasn't very full. We ran our AC without voltage issues and didn't trip their main breaker. They told us afterwards that was okay tho. due to the low occupancy. Tripping a main breaker takes a LOT of AC units running and a pretty out-dated electrical system to trip a main breaker.

A similar thing happens with size. I'm not advocating requiring all RVs to be in the smallest site they will fit in, but it's irksome to need a space 35 feet long and not have any available because much smaller RVs are using them, while smaller sites are open.
Basically, there's no good answer.

Back on the original topic, if they will not allow a 50 amp rig into a 30 amp site, they should not allow 30 amp rigs in 50 amp sites.
In case they underload the electrical system?
Maybe because they inadvertently drive up profits?

I rent a 50 amp site.

Yes, 120 kwh per day is impossible in a 30 amp OEM (3600 x 24 = 86.4 kwh), but I have two additional auxiliary 20 amp shore power cords,

Here's something to ponder. If you take your RV and book a site, any site with electricity. Aren't you paying to use the amount of electricity the pedestal provides? I'm reading in this thread that they expect you to use something less than the rated allowance so they can feed all of the sites within that loop or fed area. Seems to me that if I'm paying for 30A or 50A service, I should be allowed to use all of it for the length of my stay. Not 23A or 43A or whatever so everyone within the loop is happy. If this is the case, then they should market these sites as "this is a 30A site but you can only use 23A continuously and 30A momentarily". Campgrounds should have their sites wired so everyone can use all the power a site provides. My house has 150A service. If I turn on everything I have, I'm nowhere near popping my Main breaker. I'm popping individual breakers way before the Main would ever come into play. Shouldn't there be more than enough power to handle 30A of power use on a 30A site or 50A of power use on a 50A site? It seems that these campgrounds can't handle it so they add restrictions instead of upgrading things. That's a whole other topic but they aren't going broke. Especially these days where camping is so popular that these campground owners are making money like they're printing it themselves. Yes they have a lot of overhead but I've never seen a poor campground owner. Most of these campground owners can afford to upgrade things some to accommodate today's camping crowd.
