Ground clearance can be a concern anywhere.
The only place I've ever dragged my old trailer was going into a TravelAmerica truck stop. The 'cars and RV' entrance had a dip to allow water to run down the street edge that was just wide enough to drop the trailer tires low enough to drag the rear.
The key is making sure you know the rig setup - how much room, how much dip down occurs behind the rear axle. You might even want to use some ramps with a class C or A to elevate the front to see how much clearance you have - and what drags first.
I've seen a TT where the black/grey water hookup made contact before the rear skids - scary.
