Do you have any obvious , signs of a spring , on shore , fairly close to your campsite. You could install a shallow well with large concrete tiles and pump from it. There is no guarantee of water quality, from this , but might be better than pond water. You didn't say if you would be drinking this water. old243

Yeah i don't have any visual signs of a well the pond was dug 50 years ago.I know if I wanted to drink it I'm gonna have to spend money in filtering.

How far is it from your trailer?

I posted elsewhere about my situation. I tap into my pond using a pump.

The trailer sits ten feet from the waters edge

If it's that close you should have no problem making it work.
