Sounds like you may be finding your activities outside the campground or RV park. What else is there in the area? Public parks? Supervised recreation programs? Sports programs?
Toddlers often love to explore the outdoors, but need constant supervision. Been doing that with my grandson since last summer (1 1/2 then). He won't do any particular thing for more than about 10 minutes, but since he cycles through the activities he invents, he gets back around to what he gave up on sometime later. At 2 1/2 now, his favorite outdoor activity is running away from whoever is supposed to be watching him.

In our family camping, growing up and with our own kids, first priority in choosing vacation camps and locations was supervised activity programs, age separated and well attended. Same applies to cruises, we don't go on the same lines with children as the ones we choose as 50+ adults.
Sort of assuming here that you are at the seasonal site for the whole summer, so that providing activities is going to be a major effort. If just going out on weekends, it is easier, the "camping" is the activity, it is sold to the kids as a break from being at home.
