I had this situation at a state Park in Oregon this summer. The sewer drain was 12" above the ground.
When I drained the tanks most of the effluent ran into the sewer inlet, but the drain hose on the ground still was full. I made sure the hose was well connected on both ends and lifted the hose from the trailer end up and drained it into the sewer pipe. I had to do it several times to completly drain the tank.
When I was done I unhooked from the trailer and carefully washed it out.
Only a few of the sites had this elevated drain??
