Campgrounds without water at the site (common around here) often have unthreaded faucets scattered around. Will one of those water thief adapter things hold on well enough to get a pressurized fill? Or do they pop off pretty easily? I've only ever used one for a gravity fill tank.
In my experience, if the campground has a dump station, there's nearly always a (pressure) potable water fill there or nearby, as well, which you can hook a hose up to--even if there are no hose connections elsewhere.
At least in my experience with my RV, I need to refill the fresh water tank at about the time the gray water tank is getting full-ish. Thus, I've yet to require a water thief. That said, I most certainly haven't been camping at the exact same parks you have been.
Most of the dump station hoses I've seen have the threads cut off. They all say "do not use for potable water." I'm assuming the warning is due to the way people use them, to rinse out sewer hoses and such. I've seen first hand too many things like that go on, to want to use that hose for potable water.
