Yes, I have heard of that.
Campgrounds with unthreaded spigots generally expect shared use of those spigots. They don't have enough to allow one hose connection per trailer, and they don't want you to permanently connect, probably because easy water would overload the sewage system. What I have done is to pick a campsite that is close enough to a spigot so my hose will reach - I carry an extra 50' of water hose to rustic campgrounds. Once set up, I use the water thief to fill my onboard tank, and then remove the thief and roll up my hose. If you can find such a campsite, it is a lot easier than lugging water in a bucket and filling through a funnel. (By the way, there are much easier ways to fill the tank than with a bucket and funnel!)
