What is the correct adapter for a 50 amp RV outlet?

Keep in mind, that is only a 120v charger, so even though it will support 50amp of 120v, you will only get the same charge speed as a home 120v 15amp circuit (1,600watts); not the speed of a 240v (3,200watts). You probably know that already, but mentioning it for other readers.
Still, campground plugs are a handy source of power.

Edit: This comment is incorrect. Was thinking TT-30R vs 14-50R outlets. See further conversation below.

That 14-50 is a 240v 50 amp outlet.
The 3 prong TT-30 camper outlets are 120v 30 amp.

Right you are @AL_V. My head was in the TT-30 space. Duh. TT-30 is 120v and with L14-30 adapter will charge at 120v rate. 14-50R are 240v and the two poles can be split to 120v with an adapter. Or, both legs used to keep 240v (like with a NEMA 14-50P to L14-30R adapter you had linked) to get that sweet, sweet max Varg charge rate.
