We use a simple, large particulate filter cartridge (from Lowes, I think) between the camp's faucet and trailer. It will clog and the pressure will drop if it's doing it's job and the water is dirty. Changing the filter is easy and cheap.
We don't use any combination/carbon filters at the faucet because they will take out chlorine from the water. We usually camp where the water is chlorinated, and I like the chlorine to get in the trailer's water system and help keep it disinfected.
But we do use a small carbon filter in a water pitcher for tea and juice to get rid of the chlorine smell. In Ontario, they really dose up the water with chlorine in the Provincial Parks. A kitchen faucet mounted cartridge would do the same.
I've thought about adding a water softener cartridge at the faucet because we have camped with hard water for several weeks at a time. But haven't done anything so far ...
