I think you can overcome the voltage problem but port forwarding is going to be an issue unless you can get access to the campground router and set up port forwarding.
When you're on a campground network, you get assigned an IP address. If their IP was say 50.133.45.245 you'd have to ping a port on that IP like 50.133.45.245:7000 and that port would have to forward to your thermostat. Also you'd want a static IP address for your thermostat or every time their router rebooted, you'd get a new IP.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
One way that might work is to use a PC controlled relay (if you have a PC always on in the camper) and use google chrome remote desktop to switch the relay. You could even use a temperature switch in line with the relay.
Something like this maybe:
