We had folks in our campground last week that dropped theirs, they do it all the time.
They told me they have never been to a campground that wouldn't allow you to unload your camper.
One of our favorite places to camp when we had our 5th wheel and TT was the Willow Beach Marina and RV Park. It's located 10 mi. south of the Hoover Dam, right on the Colorado River.
Used to haul our inflatable boat there in the back seat of our truck. Upon arrival we'd inflate it, mount a small outboard, and cruise/fish the 10 mi. of the Colorado River to the Hoover Dam. It's a beautiful stretch of river with gorgeous views of the huge, deep canyons in the early mornings and late evenings. Unfortunately, if you camp there with a truck camper you're not allowed to remove the camper from the truck during your stay. That put a huge crimp on our usual MO of hauling the inflatable boat back and forth from the marina in the bed of the truck each day. Not interested in hauling a trailer to haul the inflatable. That's why we went with a truck camper in the first place---to lose the trailer. Oh well . . .
