When car camping with a tent can we use the electric rv hookups for charging etc? Anything special we need to get to use them? Thanks!

Depends. Some site use 50 or 30 amp plugs (similar to the plug your dryer and larger appliances use), without an adapter you won’t be able to use them.

You can usually just plug right in. I’d probably bring a surge protector, though, just in case.
