X2 for using a pressure regulator! Many campgrounds use "city water" and their pressures can exceed 100psi which is a lot more than your water system is designed to handle.
The "Twinkle Star water pressure Regulator" Here's a link to a similar one that looks even better to me: https://www.amazon.com/Esright-Pressure-Regulator-Lead-Free-Adjustable/dp/B075RRCWGD/
I never had any luck with smaller and cheaper inline non-adjustable ones and have been using a whole house 3/4" Watts regulator adapted for male/female hose connections but the price for that is double what the one in the link is and there's no gauge. The gauge is not freeze proof and if you let it freeze the bourdon tube will be bent so that the gauge will no longer read correctly and there's no way to fix it. Once the pressure is set, there's no need for a gauge. Here's picture of the inside of a pressure gauge.
