FYI: They won’t work on a GFC style plug which most campgrounds are now required to have.

Talked to a guy one time who had wired his bedroom air on a dedicated 15 or 20 amp line that he ran to the pedestal along with his 50 to 30 amp adapter. Said it worked fine.

You can have slave outlets if I am not mistaken off of one primary outlet. And I’m not absolutely positive but I think you can buy GFC breakers. I have seen slave outlets in campers but never a circuit breaker in the box. The slaves I saw were all inside and the outside outlets were all independent.
I would verify all this before you go doing any serious work

An actual GFCI outlet does have the buttons on the front. But regular outlets can be wired as slaves from a GFCI outlet so that if any device plugged into one of the slaves has a ground fault it will trip the GFCI outlet. This is often a point of confusion when someone doesn't have power to a regular outlet not knowing it is a slave to a GFCI outlet located elsewhere.

If that is the case, quietly go to town and buy the adapter and sneak out at night and plug it in. Unlikely they will notice as they haven't updated the pole in a looonnnnnngggggg time. GFCI has been mandatory for quite a few years on commercial outdoor boxes.....I am not a certified electrician (I get my knowledge from industrial electronics--low voltage stuff) but I am fairly sure that GFCI is a federal reg.
