Campground Generator Use During Power Outages
We do all our camping in full service campgrounds. For obvious reasons, they normally don't allow generator use. My question is will they normally allow temporary generator use if there is a power out...

We had a freak storm roll through our seasonal campground a few years ago with 80 mph straight line winds. We were without power for 5 days. We ran our Generator before bed and in the morning to keep the battery charged. The owners rented generators for the well pumps that ran all day and night so we could have water and internet. I figured it was okay to run mine for a few hours each day :)
We also exercised our generator while camping seasonally, no one complained. It's less annoying than the folks that idle their diesel engines for 30 minutes before driving off.
If a campground did complain, I'd tell them I paid for a full hook up site. They can either refund me or let me run the generator.
