You might be able to run a small A/C on a 15A plug but typically not because you have other loads like the refer.
The typical household circuit has multiple 15A plugs on a single 20A CB. Which means there may be other loads in the house on that circuit.
The typical household type plug found at campgrounds is a dedicated 20A rated plug. My garage has a dedicated 20A plug - ie a single 20A rated plug on a 20A CB.
And the situation is more marginal if you need to uses an extension cord due to the additional voltage drop on the cord.
