The NEC and NFPA specifies where a pedestal is to be located on a site in an RV park and the NEC also specs where the point of entrance of a power cord is to be on an RV. You shouldn't normally need more than 25' of cord.
From my perspective here in Ontario that's rather humourous as I wouldn't recommend anyone head to any Ontario provincial park without at least 75' of main service cable.

Wow, that is insane! Have only been to a Canadian CG twice (BC) and the pedestals were both in a decent location. We do all of our camping in the US. When it comes to the CEC and CSA, we're usually very progressive and recognized for what we do, but on RV matters are woefully behind the US. Imagine getting to a CG in Ontario and finding you need 140' of cord. Besides the cost, a lot of bulk and weight to tote around, even if just #10. No camping in Ont. for us then, lol.
