50 AMP Tents
Took a stroll around my loop in a state park campground and observed some strange behaviour. The loop is less than 30% full with a mix of tent sites, 30 AMP and a much smaller selection of 50 AMP sit...

You'll most likely see more of the Tesla's and such using campgrounds to charge as the 50 amp is much quicker. I have read a few blogs that even suggest you pull your E/C into and empty site and hook up the charge cord and see if you can get done before anyone "notices". LOL, I thought that was called stealing ? Of course this all comes from the special group that believes the Lithium and Cobolt mining to make their batteries is saving the Earth.
Yah. I would say that is extremely uncommon. Campground owners are putting their campgrounds on plug share because it is a revenue stream. Other than camping overnight or some kind of charge emergency where there was an unplanned charge station outage I doubt many EV drivers would waste their time charging at a campground. That’s taking a 20 minute job and turning it into a 12 hour job.
Just sayin.
I'm just repeating what I've read from more than one blog of actual users trying to travel with an EV. Outside of Urban area's, fast chargers aren't as common. Just Sayin
Possibly an old Blog??? Fast chargers are quite common. Level 2 chargers are even more common and faster than a 14-50 plug in a campground. I’m sure it still happens but generally speaking other than camping EV drivers would be looking at camp grounds as a very last resort. Now if you are pulling a little trailer or car camping it’s a great place to get an overnight charge. As well there are optional beds for all models of Tesla’s that set up in the back. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer. All Tesla’s have “camp mode” selectable on the display.
