Old Biscuit,
Water at CGs is same as the water from your house.
And not much different if at all from 'bottled water'
Sorry but this is not true, When you are traveling and pull into a camp ground you have no idea how safe the water is. I have worked as a state licensed Drinking water operator for 30 years. First of all you don't know if the camp is on a well or city treated water. Last year we were forced to stay at a campground on the Canadian border in a town in Washington, 3 people (that I no of ) including myself became very sick and after 5 hours at ER getting fluids in me because I couldn't keep anything down at all, and a lot of test. So guess what? seems the city did some test and shut the campground down. BAD WELL WATER Not trying to be negative or start a fight but you can't say all campground water is safe. That's like saying every restaurant is safe to eat at.
