Importance of Providing Cable TV
Dear Campers, I am getting very close to breaking ground on a new RV Campground in Austin, Texas. To that end, I have an important technology question and would greatly appreciate your guidance ...

I would absolutely run the cable to the pedistals whether I used it or not. You're already in the ground, so why not?
As to real CATV service, as mentioned above it can get really pricy if you either need to provide boxes to the campers, or build your own head-end and remodulate (x) channels to the park. Where exactly is the site in relation to TV hill? Austin can be a little hilly depending on where you are, and the folage is thick anywhere there isn't a ranch or city as you're obviously well aware. If you dont have reasonable line of site from 10' off the ground over the folage, personally I would install an MATV system in the CG. At least the campers will have good signal for the OTA.
I know lots of the TV engineers and the owner of a studio integrator in Austin, and built a station there myself. If you need someone to consult and properly lay out the distribution system, PM me direct.
