However, I’ve noticed that at some campgrounds, my fresh water tank has filled part way. At this campground, it filled up completely! I do have a water regulator on the hose. Theoretically, that should keep the City water pressure at a reasonable level.
Any idea on what is causing the tank to fill? Should I be worried about this?
Thanks.

If you are heavy user of City Water and Pressure; yes should be worried because it will just eventually overflow and never stop as long as City water pressure is being supplied.
I would have the (Normal/Tank fill) valve replaced if it is concern. It is probably not sealing all the way.
In my case, and I have same coach as you; if I had the problem you have; I would never know. I only use City water under pressure to fill up. My problem is sometimes I forget change to Tank Fill
After while I will figure it out.
Even when we are at RV Parks, I never connect to run off City Pressure. We always use our water tank. I actually try to avoid filling the filling fresh water tank with water from the RV Parks. We can go 5 or 6 days off 70 gallons so we are usually pretty good.
To me; the Valve at Normal just means, it is okay to turn on Water Pump.
Next time I am empty, I will go to a true City Fill (Normal) and leave it on all night to see what happens. But it takes us a long time to consume 70gallons and my tanks is always full, and Full with our home water; which I just love. But in RV we drink bottled water anyway
