We do this every day we are traveling. We use the campground as a place to spend the night. We leave the campground every morning and return at night in the RV. We are out sightseeing or going to local attractions. There is absolutely no problem doing this. If this is a private campground you are paying when you arrive for as many days as you will be staying and that space is yours to come and go as you please. That space is assigned to you by the campground for your entire stay and closed to everyone else. We have never had a problem with campground management coming and going. We have had some problems with other campers who decide that we have left and not coming back and move things from their site into our site or take some of the decorative things that we put in the site to mark it as ours. I now put a sign in the space every morning before we leave - "Just out for the day. Returning tonight"
If you are at a campground in a park, you are going to have to mark your space very clearly as these spaces are not usually assigned and anyone coming in who sees an empty space decides that it is open to take.
Some attractions have specific RV parking. Many shopping centers or large stores have large parking lots and you can park right up to a Class A in several spaces next to each other. Of course, if you have a trailer, you just take your tow vehicle where you want to go and leave the trailer at the campground.
