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 sites. 100% of the 50 AMP contained tents. I’ll walk the other loop this weekend to see what happens when the campground is booked nearly solid.

Were there any wires going to the tents?

The tent people are paying the same as if they were in an RV, I assume?

It's their money, and while it makes no sense to me, they're free to do as they wish. Maybe you could take a poll and find out.

Possibly the tent people wanted AC and all the 30 amp sites were taken.

It takes a BIG A/C unit for a large tent thus the need for 50A outlet! Please do not take this post seriously.

I just noticed a few like that this past weekend at a local, but fairly remote campground. They were both tent camping/traveling with electric cars(a Tesla and a Chevy Volt). They use the 50A plug to recharge quickly as they were sightseeing throughout the area daily.

Strange? Why?
Campground is 70% empty and apparently no big boy RVs. What am I missing?

Are the 50A sites more spacious than the others?
