How often are campgrounds 50A only?
Is it very common for a campground to not have 30A and 15A outlets, only 50A outlets? Just wondering if I should buy a 30A female to 50A male adapter such as this.

The issue with adapters and even surge suppressors is you need to be prepared.
You're not going to know you need an adapter until you pull into the site and find the 30 amp circuit is bad, but the 50 amp works. Or a storm come through and there is an electrical surge that overloads your RV electric and blows up your microwave and TV circuits. You may also consider a 30 amp extension cord for the times that the pedestal is 10' further than your cord can reach.
If you're lucky the CG store may have these items, or there is a Walmart near by. If you are not lucky it's 95ºF and you will have no A/C for the night.
You never know when you need these things. There will be no sign or warning.
This thread is about the only alert you will get, otherwise it will be an UH Oh moment....LOL
It is a good idea to have adapters for those just in case times otherwise you may find yourself SOL for at least the night maybe longer.
