Campsight electric outlets
When a sight says it has 50 Amp service, do they usually have both the 50 amp outlet, and the 30 am outlet in the same post? My first trip out last weekend had 30 amp posts, and there were also 20 amp...

In some RV parks you may find "big rig" sites that do not have the 30-amp connector in the box. I've not yet encountered this in a public campground, but I mostly go to old campgrounds that do not offer 50 amp service at all.
You will not usually be assigned to a 50-amp only site if you need 30-amps, because park owners like to save those for folks willing to pay extra for the 50-amp service. But it can be all that is available when you arrive.
Park stores often have an adapter to sell, sometimes a loaner or rental, but I preferred to buy one of my own, of the quality I wanted. I've used it twice to work around a bad 30-amp connection, and loaned it as an extension to a fellow RV club member who found himself about a foot short on his 30-amp cord.
