Are there hookups at Provencial Parks?

The few that I've been to had one post between two sites. We needed a 50 ft cord, 15amp only.
These are not RV resorts, they are camp sites.

Every PP I have been to and that is a lot all have 30 amp service on their trailer/rv sites but never water or sewer. Fill up fresh water on the way in and empty grey water and black water on way out. And yes bring at least one extra 30 amp cord as the post is often far away. I have even had to use 2 plus the trailer cord but that was because of where I wanted to place the trailer.

None in BC that I can think of.

Yes, some of the Ontario provincial parks have long runs from the pedestal to the RV, 50 ft. is not uncommon. We carry a couple of 30 amp extensions "just in case". We have camped in a couple of sites where even these weren't long enough so we also carry a 90 ft. 15 amp cord.

If you go to the provincial park website I believe they give the cord length, and a lot of park offices have extension cords that they can lend you.

Some Provinces have equipped some sites, in some Parks, with some utility hookups
That's a lot of "somes"; In other words it is not possible to answer you general question until you let us know just where it is you are wondering about!

Each province runs its own campgrounds.

You can contact each one to find out the latest by searching at www.google.ca and using search term: "name of province & tourism"

Been to quite a few in BC and none had any hookups. They've become pretty expensive, too, but they are usually very nice parks.

Please note:

BC Parks now has electrical hook-ups available in the some of the campgrounds at: Juniper Beach, Steelhead, Porteau Cove, Alice Lake, Kikomun Creek and Kekuli Bay.

With the exception of Juniper Beach and Steelhead Parks, BC Parks does not offer water hook-ups; however, there are drinking water taps located throughout most campgrounds.

You're right, he's just going from NH to WI through Canada. My bad.
