I was wondering how much cable we need to pack for hooking up to cable in an CG. Are the connects at each site or what. Yes, we are totally new to all this!

Normally if the site has a cable connection, the connection will be on or close to the utility pedestal where you hook up your shore power, water, etc. I'd have a 25' cable to be sure but you probably won't need that much. You could always call the campground and ask them.
Take care and happy RVing!

I have a 25' and carry a extra 15' last week I need the extra one, due that the connection post was 29'.

I have two. A 25' and another about 10'.
Keep them coiled with thin velcro strips. Otherwise they tend to unwind and are messy to store.
I'm fussy about the appearance of hoses, etc. when hooked up. It bothers me to see expensive coaches with hoses & cords strewn about like they're some tobacco road itinerants.

Same as Briteskys for us as well as enough male to male connectors for connecting the lengths. Had 1 time where over 50' was required.

There should be connections at each site in a CG that offers cable. I would buy about 10' of cord and a few splitters. Good luck!

We carry a 25 footer and a 10 foot. Be sure to carry a connector for them in case you need to connect them. We only go to one campground that has cable hook-up and their connections are at every other site. So, depending on which site we get, we need a long or short cable. Anyways I'm an old Boy Scout, "Be prepared...."
