I've operated mobile after disconnecting my truck from the trailer at an
event with 50 others, most running on inverter generators. A short
drive (1/2 mile) and RFI was much reduced. This was at Black Rock
Desert Playa, so ground conductivity was probably near salt water. On
40m results the results were amazing with a Hamstick and 100w.
Better to move away from the camping area to a more promising location,
IMO. Maybe not as bad if all power is from the grid.

A more important question is, what do you expect to hear in a campground
surrounded by RF noise sources in every RV in the campground, including
your own?
As to your antenna questions -- everything in the ARRL Antenna Book
applies equally to mobile antennas. :)
