At Lake Catherine State Park the RV sites have these green hooks, and I can't figure out what they're for. The entire assembly is probably six feet tall. There's a hook at the end that is obviously intended for something to hang from, but ..... what?

Lantern Hangers
Some campers appreciate lantern hangers--they are convenient and protect trees from damage. The recommended distance from the ground to the lantern hanger is about 80 inches (2,032 millimeters). Because an 80-inch hanger, such as the one shown in figure 9-23, is not accessible, a second hook can be mounted where people in wheelchairs can use it.
Figure 9-23--For lantern hangers to be accessible, they should
not be more than 48 inches from the ground. This style of lantern
hanger could be adapted by adding a second, lower hook.
I was going to guess it was a hook to hang a outdoor speaker from when having a large party at your campsite:h

Me too. And most camp grounds we frequent say not to tie your dog outside. A hammock would need another one.
I bet lantern nailed it, though the sure went to some expense for lantern hangers. This is pretty darned solid.
They are sometimes, but not always, near the tent pad, so I'm thinking lantern is the answer. Next time we go I'll try to remember to ask. But I'll probably forget.
If they weren't solidly built and securely installed they would break from misuse or, most likely stolen. I have witnessed people taking things like fire rings and grills.
You folks are funny 
OK. Lantern it is. Actually, there was a guy walking around pulling nails out of trees while we were there last weekend. He told us that people would drive nails into trees to hang all sort of stuff including lanterns. I just never made the connection that was why the poles were provided.
As usual, thank you kind folks for explaining to the newby without telling him how silly the question was. ๐
