plugging into power at a camp site for heat tapes is a simple idea, but what 12 volt solutions would I have when rural camping and no external power is available? would running the propane heater and generator be enough to keep the pipes from freezing? I suspect that the winter would be very expensive indeed.

Sure, you can run a genny and use propane to keep warm, as long as the temps are warm enough for propane vaporization. Propane is not reliable in temps well below freezing. At - 44.3 f degrees, not usefull at all, as that is its boiling point.
Talk to your local propane supplier about cost, supply, suitability.
