We've been in all kinds of different Winter CGs. Many have a few heat-treated spaces for us full-timers.
Up in Winchester, VA, they put a insulated Plywood box over the tall spigot. Then they suggested putting a trouble light in the box to keep it warm. So the next Winter when we got caught in the worst Winter in 40 years, DH built a small plywood box and we never had problems with water and insulated our own water hose.
Dodge City, KS, they ran heat tape up the 2' spigot, wrapped with insulation and a standard WM grocery bag. Then we insulated a 33g garbage can and placed it over. Decided to buy a Pirit heated water hose - never had a problem with minus teens.
Indiana - this Winter, they shut off all the water to RV Sites, but had us move over to an empty Mobile Home site. They have a heater that has to be plugged in during the cold. Using the same Pirit heated hose, we've been doing fine.
We also hard-pipe the sewer with 4" PVC pipe. Learned that the first Winter, that it works better than a plastic flex sewer hose that tends to crack in the cold weather.
