Campground water pressure flow rate

Is there a rough amount if gallons per minute that I can use when filling my fresh water tank? I am leaving a campground where I have water hookup to go to a place where I won't have water hookups. So, I want to fill some freshwater. I'm guessing 30 gallons should be more than enough for a couple days? But how do I know when the freshwater tank has 30 gallons in it? If I knew it filled at a rate of 5 gallons/ minute, then I could just wait 6 minutes. But is there a rough guide to how many gallons/ minute will fill from the campground water connection?

Btw, I do have a water pressure regulator on my connection. So, I'm assuming that would factor into limiting the fill rate. Click image for larger version

I use a flow meter like this one:

OR the old fashion math way...
get a one gallon or a 5 gallon bucket or milk jug and see how long it takes to fill one and then multiply that time by the appropriate number.

You don't have a fresh water tank level indicator?

Full Tank is best.
