Lots of ways to do it, but it depends on your camping scenario what to do.
You can have a big enough inverter to run everything 120v all the time and just use a standard battery charger to keep the batts up whenever you have shore power or gen.

Or you can do it all up like most RVs or a small house. Depends what the whole idea is.
