If your spot says it is for 16 people you should be allowed more than 2 cars.
Most cars fit 5 people, so 3 cars in a camp spot would make more sense.
Same with the 8 person site. These sites need 2 cars.
The camp hosts were very lovely people.

Camped in a 17 ft trailer and Tundra truck and it fit perfectly. Bit of a bumpy and steep road up to camp but worth it for the views and how quiet it was.
