Only in your mind...When you sign a rental agreement, which you do in a CG, it is for your exclusive use period. Now I realize many, evidently including you, think everything anyone owns or rents belongs to the public, so I understand your confusion on contract law.

No such animal as "unwritten rules". If it's a rule then it needs to be written and handed out to everyone who enters. That's the only way cutting through a site can be legally enforced.

I think you may be confused. Your not signing a rental agreement when you get a campsite.

Evidently you never read the fine print on the "contract" you sign in most campgrounds. I am setting here reading one and it very clearly states you are "renting IAW state laws", the designated site, for the period specified.

Saying something to them...fair enough.
spitting beer on you truck....stupid and over the line.
Way over the line. Sometimes confrontation is required - the tricky part is how much is necessary to get your point across. I was raised with the understanding that whenever you confront someone be prepared for the unexpected.

Actually, there are many "unwritten" rules. It is not written in our rules that you cannot dig a pit through the sod to barbeque a pig. It might be legal, but it is sure not allowed. I can enforce it and any other "rule" I make up on the fly. I own the place and can always bring out the old "Management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason." I am marveling at all the people who are justifying extremely rude behavior. If common courtesy is not spelled out, it need not be observed? Hopefully these people will never grace the entryways of my parks.

Even though it caused a bit of aggravation, I am glad your wife spoke up. More people should do the same, then maybe fellow campers will recognize common courtesy does not have to be a "written camp rule". OP, hope the rest of your camping season is better.
I do not like it when people cut thru my site. I never will cut thru an occupied site, but some people seem to have no clue.

Tolerance within your space is an individual call.
If someone walks though my space no biggie unless they do it a hundred times and knock something over or while we're trying to sleep etc.
Not been a particular problem. We have had kids and tent campers take part ,of our space. Just politely ask them to play elsewhere or the tenters to move over a bit.
No use in letting these things upset us. If someone spits on our vehicle I would call the campground host or ranger too. Let them tend to it.
Not frequent to come across those who are roguish inconsiderate, or maybe it is, and we just happen to choose more mature oriented campgrounds so far.

There is no sign on the vacant chair at my restaurant table that you can not just sit down and make yourself at home.There is no sign on my rental car that you can't drive it. There is no sign on the door saying I should hold it open folr the little old lady right behind me instead of letting it slam into her...Do we REALLY need a sign to tell us everything?
When I PAY for a site, I am paying for the exclusive use of it. Would it be okay of the guy in the tent next to you ran an extension cord over to your hookup and tapped off your hose? If he ASKED I might let him, but...
