I don't think I've ever stayed in any campground where water wasn't available from a hose of some length or another...
Very few Indiana State Parks have full hook up sites, and those that do usually have a limited number. There are a few Indiana State Parks that do have water on every site, or water for every 2 sites, but the majority have a single fill station, centrally located. Now you could stretch a couple hundred feet of hose to reach it and fill your tanks (which we do lot), but here in the last few years, the State Parks are switching to no-threaded spigots. "Water Thieves" still work with these, if you have enough hose.
For EVERY state park in Indiana we have stayed in for the last 15 years, we have carefully examined the campground layout maps on line from the DNR web site and make sure we were within 200 feet of a spigot. In 15 years, we've been further than than a few times, and I carried 300 feet of hose on those occasions.
If you stay at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Indiana, you better make sure you are within hose reach or you will be moving the camper to refill or cart from the ONLY fill spigot in the entire campground. When we've stayed there, I always carry 6 - 6 gallon jugs so I can refill. It's times like this I wish I had larger fresh water tank.
So yes, there are still LOTS of campgrounds "out there" where a hose will not reach a spigot.
