I alerted one of the campground hosts to this potential problem. He didn't seem to much care.
Me, I'd probably just plug in sans surge if it's just a day or two. Longer term, I'd plug in just for the charger and use my inverter. That may not be an option for you.
What is the danger in this?
The danger is that if your RV has, or develops, an electrical issue, you could end up with a safety hazard. Without a proper ground from the campground pedestal, the chassis and skin of your RV could become electrified with a dangerous amount of fault current at 120 volts.
