We have run across a couple campgrounds recently that don't allow generators at all. The last was in Big Bend National Park. Cottonwood campground doesn't allow them and for that reason it stays full of people looking for a quiet camp. (according to the park ranger)
I think there is a trend forming. The number of rv's we see now sporting some sort of solar panels to keep their batteries charged seems to be climbing at a fast rate. Even in parks where generators are allowed we have noticed a pretty big reduction in there use over the last couple years.
I am glad to see the solar trend. I like quiet camping and not hearing generators at all. Funny thing is I just bought one. What a hipocrit I am. When I was making a decision to go solar or generator I went solar and it's been great for keeping up with our demands. The only reason for my recent generator purchase was to power the air conditioner. My friends that we camp with are finally catching up with the clean power of solar, thank God. Now I don't have to listen to their generators. Won't they be surprised when I fire up one to cool the camper down :B
