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...

'Most' sites with 50A service also have a 30A receptacle. Best to verify in advance.
All 50A and 30A sites will also have a 20A receptacle.
This is not entirely accurate. Pirateland in Myrtle Beach were we have stayed many times has only a 50 and a 30 amp plug in on the post. If any sites have a 20 also I have never seen them.
It would be more accurate to say that the current version of the NEC requires any campsites with power to have a 15/20A receptacle. I think that's been the code for awhile now. Certainly campgrounds exist that are not like this; they may have a setup that predates the requirements, or they are in some locale where the NEC is not legally required (or has local changes), or even that just plain are noncompliant.
