And, depending on finding non GFCI receptacles in campgrounds is something you can't depend on. While rare, I've stayed in 2 different campgrounds (one the Trail of Tears in Missouri) that had GFCIs on all the receptacles, including the 30 amp.
As Bobbo said, your RV should operate correctly plugged into a GFCI. If it doesn't, something is wrong & it should be fixed. Among other problems, the fault that is causing the GFCI to trip could put the frame (and any other metal) of the RV at line (120V) potential. An open ground would then result in anyone touching the earth & the RV becoming the ground conductor, resulting in a shock. This is one of the faults a GFCI is designed to protect against.
