My understanding about the non-threaded water spigots is to prevent people from hooking up a hose to the spigot for their entire stay. What's the difference between using a hose temporarily to fill a water tank, or filling a 5 gallon bucket multiple times to bring to your camper to fill the campers water tank? I have never been to campground that forbids filling a campers water tank, just restrictions on staying hooked up to water. I have also never been west of the East Coast, so probably there are campgrounds with that restriction.

That dog won't hunt. The purpose of non threaded spigot is to prevent people from filling the large tanks in their RV due to limited availability. I have never seen a non threaded spigot in a campsite but even if there are what prevents these special folks from using the water thief to connect a hose directly to their rig? The unthreaded spigots are usually found scattered around the CG, typically one for every 10 or more sites. Not many folks are going to lug 5 gallon jugs 5, 10 times or more to top up their water tank.

Never heard of what you're talking about, but I'm kind of a newbie, only been camping for 10 years. And I use my water thief routinely in US Forestry campgrounds in Calif and ALL state parks, even in Utah. Must be enforced in some areas though. Rare IMO.
