Did you turn off your antenna booster?

Since the antenna booster is off, I would next rule out the coax cabling in the RV. Can you connect the TV directly to the campground's cable - coax on back of tv directly to the pedestal? If it is still fuzzy, then the problem is either the campground or the tuner in the TV. I would suspect campground's cable.
If the picture is clear, then there is probably a loose coax connection somewhere in the RV. Remove all the face plates, check that the crimps look good (and no corrosion) and also make sure the connections are tight. Remove them all the way and then tighten them down. If one of them got cross threaded or wasn't tightened all the way, a good connection is not being made and would cause the picture to be fuzzy.

I recently changed out my outside coax from rg-59 to rg-6.
It made a huge difference in the lower numbered channels. Also keep them away from the power pedestal and your power cord. Once I velcroed my coax to the power cord and it really made the picture noisy.

We have experienced several CG cable systems that are SD [not HD] only and the owners said that going to HD would require adding a cable box for each site. If you're use to HD, an SD signal is going to look fuzzzzzzy.

Some cable company's are running 100% scrambled and you will need a converter box for their viewing.

Most RV parks we frequent have upgraded to not require scrambler boxes.
They are a pain for the cg owners and the campers. They also create a lot of extra work for the hosts who have to issue them and receive them, then go to the rv and help the camper set it up.

I ran the cable to a tv I have on a table outside the camper and it works fine.
I notice I don’t have a cable runing from the booster to the tv the cable the goes to the tv comes from behind the wall. We have the entertainment center.

Check all the connections you can easily access, outside, tv and booster panel. If it's beyond that then I would start at the CG connection point outside your unit.
Last I had this issue it was the wire from the post to my trailer which I replaced.
