There isn't necessarily supposed to be a breaker at the outlet where you plug in your RV. If it is on a single 30A circuit fed from a breaker in a panel somewhere else then that's all that is needed. Since there was only 1 outlet there and not a 50, 30, 20 arrangement I would guess it was a single circuit.
There isn't any one wiring convention that applies in all jurisdictions ... here in Ontario the most common campsite post arrangement in the provincial park system is 30 amp / duplex 15 amp service with each service being protected by it's own post mounted breaker. However, here's a pic of a campsite pic at one of our local conservation area campgrounds - 30 amp / duplex 15 amp service, no post mounted breaker.
We'd also usually only see 50 amp service in some privately owned parks, 20 amp service I only see when camping in the US ... the point being that campsite electric service varies greatly depending on where you're camping.
