Many times the campground owner feeds a site with a 30 amp circuit breaker, and then might have a 30 and 20 amp circuit breaker in the power post at your site. So you might not be able to use the 20 amp and 30 amp without tripping the main feeding the campsite, depending on how it was wired of course.
I was at one campground with a split wired 20 amp receptacle at each site. SO basically I had to use a 30 to 15 amp adapter, then the neighbor also used a 30 to 15 amp adapter, even though both sides of the normal household plug in where wired to two separate circuit breakers. (yes this happens - even in your own home where they wire the washing machine and dryer in your own laundry room). It worked, but I Was not happy, and did not need to run the A/C that night. Good thing I guess.
Good luck with your problem!

30 amp female to 15 amp male I can understand... I use one all the time with my generator. but flip that around, just seems dangerous. I guess the adapter assumes the other end of the cordset will have a 15 amp breaker.
