Green algae from faucets is NOT, repeat NOT, normal.
Take a water sample to the local Dept. of Public Health, water supply, university, or agricultural college and get it tested.

Oh my goodness, red flags are everywhere. You must find out your water source and have it tested. You must find out if the RV park has a septic system or if they just dump everything into the river. I had a ski boat once and explored a little lake off the beaten path that had lots of little houseboats on it. It was a "calm-water" lake, and the houseboats just dumped their sewage overboard. I have never seen a nastier lake. It had huge algae blooms that rose 20-30 feet from the bottom and would foul the propeller. I would not drink it, bathe in it, or ever go back to ski on top of it.
