Default Dirty campground power receptacles - What's your solution?

Our only need for shore power is for occassional Air-Con, and in colder temps, using an electric heater. We normally use a 15-20 amp extension cord althought we do have a 30 amp cord. I image everyone finds the same thing... The camp receptacles are horrible: Filled with webs, bugs, holes filled with mud from some insect, or grit. Some appear to have not been used for 20+ years.

I am trying to figure out how best to deal with these contaminated connections. Maybe a can of compressed air? Electric contact cleaner? a plastic brush? I may consider a "dummy" plug to push in and out to try and clean the contacts.

What's your solution? How do you deal with these nasty recptacles?
