Commonly this is from a bad neutral in the RV or Campground wiring.
Bad neutral causes one side to be over voltage and the other side under voltage.
Frequently the issue is in the transfer switch. But the issue can be a list of things in various places.
Get a voltmeter if you are inclined to do this yourself.
Otherwise if something like replacing the transfer switch yourself seems too complex then you are better to leave this to a professional. For starters have the campground manager check the pedestal.
Or to get the lights on... buy a portable automatic battery charger of at least 10 amps rated. Get an extension cord so you can go direct from the pedestal to the house battery. Just slap it on, no need to disconnect anything.
