As others have mentioned, most campgrounds have "generator hours" and they don't allow for overnight use. So, you really have a few choices:
1. Camp only where there are electrical hookups and run the A/C off shore power;
2. Plan your camping around the weather and expected temperatures to reduce/eliminate the need for A/C;
3. Build up your battery bank to allow you to run the A/C off an inverter and recharge the battery bank each day during the allowed generator hours.
For me, I plan my camping around the weather and temps. I go up into the mountains in the heat of summer and stay to the low lying areas in the off season. I find it works well, and as an added bonus, the low lying areas tend to be closer to urban areas and become party campgrounds in the summer. In the off season, they are usually pretty empty with only a few campers in a large campground (meaning I don't have to worry about lack of privacy between campsites, etc.).
