When & where? I have no problems unloading my camper on grass on level ground in the middle of summer. Ask me the same question in the middle of winter when the ground is soft an mushy, and you will get a different answer.
Take 'grass' out of the question and insert sand, dirt, gravel, etc. The same thing applies. How stable is the surface? Is it likely to significantly compact over time? If so, then disperse the load by adding blocks under the jacks.
And since you are 'storing'.... Yeah, put some sort of platform underneath to hold the load. Also probably put down some tarps to block stuff from growing up under the camper - you don't want to come back to your camper in a weed patch in a month.
