You are 100% spot on for the need of routine maintenance. Whatever happened to the days of apprenticeship and basic routine maintenance, even a simple annual on each pedestal can eliminate a lot of broken fix, cleaning and lubrication is cheaper , a little no-ox goes a long way.
A simple guess would be greed, followed by ignorance themselves because no one showed them what is needed, then laziness. We visit on average 50 campgrounds a year with our RV and I have seen some that we just pulled out and left because i would not even try plugging into a bent over, rusted ped, with half a cover, being told by the manager, it worked fine for the last RV.
Wishing you the best of luck getting those camp owners to take action.

Thank You for the photo and the reasoning.
Aluminum makes a good sacrificial anode for steel.
Put together an intro for campgrounds that we as customers can hand out
Possible caustic rainwater, Al does not like caustic pH solutions
Perhaps… Note that the copper ground conductor at the bottom doesn’t seem to be affected.
