Electric only sites
We will be doing our first camping at electric only sites at Ludington SP and Indiana Dunes SP next month. Will there typically be a water fill station I can bring the trailer to for freshwater fill up after I check in?

On a lot of those taps you need a "water thief" to make the connection since they typically are not threaded.

+1, but couldn't get this link to work. Try This One for a water bandit. I ordered 2 of them, works just fine.- I always go in with a full tank at such sites. Much more convenient.

The campground maps for both parks indicate water taps scattered about the campgrounds.
I saw the water taps, I just wasn't sure if people pull the trailer next to them or make a few runs with a container.- The few that I've seen have a fill tap (or several) somewhere.

Just a quick look at Luddington (tho, I've never stayed there) show water taps.
Unlike the previous poster, all of the taps I've encountered at Colorado State Parks, and National Parks, have been threaded.- Yes they should have water. Most people that camp with a tent don't bring a tank of water with them.
- Although I haven't been to these parks in particular, the Electric Only parks I have been to have numerous potable water taps around the facility. One said that if you had a long enough hose with a Y, I could use the tap. I think it would have required about 100'+ of hose to do it.
