I don't think its a matter of getting away with it. If the outlets are available I have no hesitancy to use them.
However the CG owner has the right to charge extra or ban additional cords. In the end it's their CG and their rules.
If you check with the owner and they don't care or charge you a separate fee, go for it.
If you are running something minor like awning lights that draw very little (say 50w for 3-4hr in the evening), they probably aren't going to care but if everyone is running a 1.5kw heater (in addition to maxing out their 30amp), if it's running say 20hr per day, that's 30kw-hr/day (on the second plug). At 20c per kw-hr that's $6 of electricity extra. If you have 100 sites doing this, it's $600/day the owner is losing...or $18,000 per month.
While that's a bit of an higher end example, even if it's half that, you can see where owners may not take kindly to abusing the available power.
