I've always let the RV park management know that's what I'll be doing, and they'll usually assign a space easy to get in and out of.
I've been in (very tight) RV parks where that pattern of use is not permitted. One in Port Aransas, another in San Antonio, and probably more where I simply have not asked nor tried "in and out" (a "must escort" park in Odessa comes to mind). These parks usually also have a requirement that you be escorted to your site and supervised each time you park your RV.
In campgrounds, you might have to be more careful. Busy public campgrounds without site reservations, someone coming in might consider any empty RV site up for grabs, even if you have paid for it. Sometimes signs work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes camp hosts can be helpful, others you may find yourself trying to drag law enforcement into your dispute with the person who moved into your vacant site. How these things work out depends very much where you are, as behavior in these situations varies regionally and locally.
There are also parks and campgrounds where vehicle fees will depend on whether you are staying inside or going in and out the gate.
