If I understand correctly you've got a 3 wire feed from the panel in your house to the one in the barn. 2 hots, 1 neutral, no ground. This is perfectly acceptable and was allowed by code until recently.
However, this arrangement was always required to have a ground rod or two at the barn. There was never a time where it was allowed by code without ground rods.
There's no reasons to worry about the lack of a ground wire from the main panel. Just drive your two ground rods and hook the wire to your existing neutral bar. Make sure the neutral bar is bonded to the metal can of the panel.
If your neutral and ground are not bonded in the barn panel you really don't have a ground that will clear a fault.
Install the proper outlet and plug in the camper. It will work fine.
