What does a traveler expect to pay to park in one of these places? I have
about 10 acres next to I-80 with water, power and sewer already installed. I
could lay down some gravel and put up a sign.

industrial vending machine selling routers.
Im trying to get the one we are doing to finger conduit to each site post for
future use, whether fiber or copper

You'd be surprised. A lot of them travel with their own cable modems and wifi
routers. But you could always rent them one, or set up each ONT with a small
wifi router already and give them a choice.

How many RV travelers are set up for ethernet vs WiFi?

I'd do fiber as well, seems like that many long-run cat5/6 connections
could be problematic.

Why run ethernet? This seems ideal for fiber. Put a small box for the
ONT on the same pole as the electrical hookup with about 20 ft of ethernet
cable so they can drag it through a window and call it a day. Rent them a cheap
router if they want wifi or mount a small loco ac or something running as a low
powered AP and alternate frequencies every 3 or 4 spaces.

Be careful of selling service over Wi-FI... customers buy "signal
boosters" that run their own DHCP server, or they see a very strong signal to
their booster and complain that their service sucks (don't understand that the
signal from the booster to your network is low). And there's interference from
mobile hotspots etc....
I would do like Adam says, run ethernet lines everywhere with
outdoor-grade ethernet connection boxes (make sure to have a surge protector on
each line as it returns to your switch). You can try offering some service over
wifi but tell customers that if they want reliable speeds they need to hardwire.

We were approached by a current subscriber who is building an RV
park with around ~100 pads, and he wants us to offer service to his tenants.
This isn't the typical situation where we would sell service to the RV park,
and they handle distributing it to their customers. He wants to avoid
providing wi-fi himself, and will instead let us charge every client that wants
service separately. Also, this isn't a campground; his shortest lease term
will be monthly.
While the park is under construction, he is willing to let us lay
conduit, so we could provide wired service to each pad if we wanted to.
Alternatively, we could just setup a bunch of wi-fi APs. One potential
complication is that we have a fairly busy cluster of 5g PMP450s a couple
hundred yards from this RV park, so while wired service could be more reliable
for the park tenants, the potential for 100 customer wi-fi routers we can't
control operating within sight of our PMP450 POP sounds like the stuff of
nightmares.
We are leaning more towards a wi-fi option due to better control
over spectrum, as well as avoiding maintenance of 100 outdoor ethernet ports
that the customers would be plugging into, but we are open to suggestions.
Also, assuming wi-fi is the correct answer, does anyone have any
equipment recommendations? The park is about 400' by 900'. I was looking at
either doing a whole bunch of low end APs, or maybe ~8 sectors. We haven't
used any of the Cambium wi-fi gear yet, but the cnPilot E501S looks interesting.
