I don't know what the code is for RV site services.
RVs and RV Parks are covered under article 551 of the NEC. Up until recently there was a free and easily accessible copy of the 2104 NEC online. Now it looks like you have to register with NFPA before you can get it for free. Maybe a free online copy of the NEC isn't currently available because of the new 2017 edition coming in?
There is a draft copy of the 2014 edition of the NEC here. I saw a draft of proposed changes for the 2017 edition recently and there was a proposal to require 40 percent of pedestals to be 50 amp but it looks like it stayed with 20 percent. Too bad because the NEC is waay behind on all the 50 amp RVs today. However, you won't find many new RV parks being built.
FWIW, a copy of the 2005 edition of NEC is here. Have not yet found the previous 2002 edition or others prior to that. The 2005 edition is when they increased 50 amp pedestals from 5 percent to 20 percent of the total in a CG.
