For 30amp Trailer, install 30 or 50amp service to pole?

Hello All, I've got electric at a private camping area and need to add service for a 30amp plug for a new 30amp travel Trailer. I heard it better to put in a 50amp outlet in and then use a 30-50am...

Sounds to me like the large panel on the pole should be 120/240 three wire and connected to ground through a rod.
It should have capability for either 120 30 amp or 50 amp 120/240.
There would be little cost different in labor to install both a 30 amp and a 50 amp box like the one suggested by Bobbo. Yes, a small differnce in material.
