It'll be the same for me. Most places I camp have water and electric hook-ups but the hunting lease, a few NFS campgrounds and atleast two ATV parks I frequent are primitive only. I've got a single 16 gallon tank but it won't last long if I don't conserve where I can.

Agreed. My 10 gal tank can go fast, even with being stingy. Maybe I will replace it someday, or add another tank to go along with it. This another case on my part of trying to skimp on things when I should have gone bigger. No one says you have to fill it up for short trips.
Bob,
At the hunting land I could always take a IBC tote and have more water than I would ever need or take a 55 gallon plastic barrel for that matter. I even thought about a 30 gal barrel in the bed of the truck for the other places if I see the need. Most of them have water available, just not at the individual sites. I could always mount a 12V pump and run it like a city water hook up or just gravity feed it when needed.
The hunting lease has a well I could power off my generator but the power pole was taken down 10+ years ago when the old farm house on site was condemned. It has a functioning septic tank if I dig down and tie into the old sewer line. 400 acres of prime GA hunting land and I pay $350.00 a year to hunt, can't go wrong with that. Last year I pulled out more than that in fire wood alone.
