I've worked on 50A campground pedestals, but I didn't notice if the 30A and 20A receptacles were on opposite legs of the 50. If it's 30A only, then only one leg is available so 30 and 20 would be on the same leg, the same CG circuit, same CG breaker...
Bud's point above is oft understood. 30A x 120V = 3600 Watts, but 50A is served by TWO 50A circuits so it's really 100A and 50 x 120 = 6000 TIMES TWO or 12000 WATTS! That's why going from 30 to 50 is such a game changer.
