To your last paragraph. The charge rate is adjustable on our car from 5 amps to 48 amps. 120 or 240. So power sharing is possible. I don’t know about other EV’s. As well, the portable EVSE (charge cable) that comes with the car plugs into a 14-50 receptacle can only go to max 32 amps at 240 volts and 24 amps at 120 volts (if used on a TT30 30 amp site).

Cheers.
The problem is how does the campground police the charge rate?
Assuming this is just your standard 50amp pedestal with no internal logic, if they come in with a 300amp-hr battery bank on fumes and want to head out in the morning, good luck charging at 5amps and if they can get away with it, they will be pulling as many amps as the pedestal will provide.
With the KOA approach it’s easy as the pedestal has a separate J1772.
In the case of a standard pedestal we have just been requested to plug in either the RV or the EV. No perfect solutions. But it works. Rule breakers? Well, that’s always going to happen.
Jmho. Not an expert.
