There is someone on the RV forum who wants to install a 50 amp sub panel in a trailer, then use this sub panel to power a TT-30 into which a second RV will be plugged into. The 50 amp sub panel in the trailer would be powered by a plug and cord into the campground pedestal. Logical reasons for doing this aside, I can't see any code violations. The one possible code requirement I see is that since the first RV is now the source of power to an additional RV would a grounding electrode be required at the first RV, much the same as one is required when powering multiple RVs from a single generator? Or is there anything in the NEC that would prohibit this installation at all?

From a practical point, it is just a 120v, 30a receptacle and who knows what the user is going to plug in wink
I don't see anything specifically prohibiting it but I do see the ground rod issue.
Again from the practical sense I don't see the hazard as long as the pedestal is properly wired.
Folks plug in RV here all the time in their driveway from a regular branch circuit
There are still about a dozen families on my street living in one since Ian and the code enforcement folks are all over looking for things to write up.
