I too would think the problem would be greater during the day. but I do not know the campground...
So I will describe where I am.. This is a combination of resident and transit campers.. Some of us are here for months or even ears. Some I know have been here since 2011 at the latest and are still here.. I'm here for about 4 years if things go as planned.
Many have day jobs (Work = income) I'm retired so do voulenteer work.
Many turn off the A/C or cut it down to one (if they do not have pets, I have pets) PLUS the overnighters.. Well they leave long about 8-10 amp and do not get replaced till around 3-7 in the evening.
So the load is much greater on the park electrical system at night.. Just the opposite of what you woudl think..
Now where I am the owner did the absolute best job of wiring the park that I have ever seen, In fact I can not imagine a better job.. Each row of campers has a distribution panel at the end of the row. And each site has its very own circuit breaker, and very own feed, from that box.. NO DAISY CHAINS.. (Well one, but there is a 30 amp rig on that site one of the "been here since before 2012" rigs,,,, and the water pump, that is the chained "site").
So I do not have that problem.. But in many CG's... When the people get "home" the voltage drops. this means current increases in reactive loads like A/C's which are the biggest power suckers in the RV.
