We always carry enough "to be getting on with"...
Many's the time we've arrived on sites during bust periods,only to be met by a string of vans all queuing at the "service point"...with folk faffin' about untangling their hoses...tattin' about with different connectors...and then wiping everything all down again,before re-wrapping 'em...(..all usually while their OH takes their dog off for a damned good "exercise"! ..)
Not for me I'm afraid...payload permitting, I'd rather take the bulk of our water with us nowadays, than be met with that, especially at the start of my "relaxing" weekend  ..
Don't forget, you're not always sure what the set-up at the site will be.We've been on some small/rural sites where "the tap" has just been cable tied to a fence post, in a boggy corner of a field
Also a good many sites are still really set up for caravans, so they may not have a tap you can drive anywhere near to anyway....
We "top up" by means of containers, when we have to...but I don't really want to be filling the bulk of my tank like that,especially when we first arrive(and I'm not lugging a full length hose pipe around with me.."just in case")and in the overall scheme of things, carrying a few extra kgs of water in the tank, is neither here nor there
...I assume folk don't just quarter fill their fuel tanks "to save weight"? ..
