in the event one of us was ill or injured enough to want a dr. but not call 911.
Popsie, the OP is suggesting this when it's a non-911 situation. This is for the sprained ankle/bad sore throat type of thing. No sense in tying up EMT personnel when it's not an emergency.
Even though the campground personnel can tell you, if it's at an odd-ball time of day or if you are away from the cg, this type of information can be very useful (I speak from experience). Most of the campgrounds we've stayed at list this info on their handouts but a little pre-research is a great idea.
However, back in the day, it wasn't unusual to have someone die from a heart attack because they didn't think their symptoms were serious enough. I still think it's better to err on the side of caution.
