What the park is referring to is a 50 amp site. To plug your 30 amp rig into 50 amp service you want a 50 amp Male > 30 amp Female Dogbone.

It can't possibly be 100 amps if it's a CG/RV park. Code requires either a 30 amp at 120 volts or 50 amps at 120/240 volts (like in a house), or both on a site. Maybe they are incorrectly referring to a standard 50 amp site as 100 amps because a 50 amp pedestal/site has two hot legs that give you the same amount of power as 100 amps at 120 volts.

If you have a 30 amp RV, a standard RV 30 to 50 amp adapter is a good thing to have regardless. The receptacles in 30 amp pedestals can sometimes be in poor condition and you may need to plug into the 50 amps in a pedestal or move to another site with 50 amps.

Up until 2017, the code (NEC) only required a CG to have 20% of sites to be 50 amps (and only 5% in older CGs) and getting 50 amps can be difficult sometimes, if not impossible and 30 amps is usually what's mostly available.

I'd give the park a call to be sure but betcha they mean a 50-amp hookup. I believe that a 50-amp hookup actually delivers 2-legs of 120VAC/50-amps. either way your 30-amp rig will draw no more than about 80% of 30-amps.

I am thinking you make be confused on 50 amp hookup. 50 amp hookup actually gives you two hot legs of 50 amps each for a total of 100 useable amps. But since you have a 30 amp rig, you can actually get no more than 30 amps no matter what you hook to.

I think some high end sites for large motor homes do offer 100 amp, but as mentioned, I think that is 2 50's. Call and make sure.

From what I read those are usually 2x 50 amp connections. You should just need a common 50/30 adapter.
Call and verify. Good chance the camp store will have what you need.

I don't know of any such thing.
