One out of a hundred parks may have this rule. It's there to keep out the junky looking RVs. You can talk with the manager or send photos of your RV to show that it is well cared for and usually get in.
I find it is the higher end private RV Resorts that usually have an RV age restriction. I have never had a problem and we travel in a 16 year old 5th wheel. It looks brand new.

Someone told me that the if you have a motorhome that is more than 10 years old, some parks don't let you in. Is this so. Seems unreal to me and can't imagine the reason for it.
Does anyone know.
Thanks.

Mostly this is higher end places and if the RV looks good you can often get in anyway. They have to have some kind of legal rule to keep out junk and a 10 year one seems to do the trick so they use it. We had friends with a very nice GMC motorhome that were worried about the rule but had no trouble while on the road. Their GMC was built in the 1970s.

Since 2005 we have had RVs that are over 10 years old and have never been turned away from a park.
We do however keep them looking nice with regular washings and waxings.
The park we stay at in Florida, during the winter has a 10 year rule but they allow us back every year. Like Bill said, it's just a tool to keep out the junky RVs.
If you keep them looking nice, they won't turn you away. And, if one does, you'll probably be better off not staying there anyway.
