A few theories.
What if your campground neighbor or the groundskeeper is turning your water an and off while you're gone? the pressure in the lines would bleed off as it leaks into the toilet.
You have a leak at the spigot that is smaller than the leak into the toilet. So the spigot leaks but the system never pressurizes as the toilet valve leaks faster.

Fix the toilet fill valve.
Disconnect the water hose after turning off the spigot.
Or you could buy a garden hose Y adapter at Home Depot or Lowes to screw onto the spigot before the hose. Then when you go home turn off the spigot, turn off the valve on the Y adapter that goes to the trailer. Open the other side of the Y adapter so that any leaks can spill onto the ground.
Notify management to keep an eye out for a mud puddle under the adapter so they can fix the spigot leak before you get back the next weekend.
