At one campground they even offered to rent me a dog bone for $4.00 per night if I didn't have one.

Paul, did you actually see a 50-Amp-only pedestal, or were you going by what they advertised? I’m curious because I’ve used 30A service for over 20 years and have yet to stay at a site that only had 50A but no 30A right next to it.
Just wonder how common these 50-Amp “only” sites have become. Many times campgrounds advertise “50A” service as a feature, but that doesn’t exclude also having a 30A service at same pedestal.
I’m aware some campers prefer to plug their 30-Amp rig to a 50-Amp service to minimize chance of tripping a weak 30A breaker, but that’s a different need for a dogbone adapter.
