Most park pedestals have a 100 amp capacity. The 30 amp plug is wired to one leg of the 50 amp source. So, if you plug the 50 amp trailer shore cable AND a 30 amp "accessory" plug into the same pedestal, you'll very likely blow the pedestal 50 amp circuit breaker and possibly the campground breaker for that series of pedestals.
Talk to an "RV electrician" before you wire another 30 amps into your power requirements. Chances are very good that almost all campgrounds won't have the capacity to support your power requirement.
