In the mean time pop 2 to 6 four pole 30 amp breakers in the existing panel and let them charge. (for a fee)

What RV pedestal has spaces for additional breakers? And parking/charging their EVs away from their site is a no go for many people. At one of our parks we had a row of sites where the vehicle parking was across the driveway from the RV site. Some rope acted like that we were forcing them to park two towns away. Just foregoing the business is a better plan then dealing with all sorts of customer whining.

Yes the public is nuts.
We would call these SDR as in Sent Down the Road.

No slots in the pedestal. Connect at the main panel.

And after I have connected to the main panel how do I string the wiring to the charging station? I don’t think laying it in the ground is acceptable. Burying the wiring gets very costly as the charging stations are likely to need to be located a distance away. Traversing that distance often involves crossing roads .landscaping and utility lines panels aren’t generally located in locations convenient to drive up to. Furthermore the panels generally are maxed out per NEC code powering the RV sites. Add power hungry charging stations would overload the main breaker which is not going to be popular with the guests watching TV, microwaving pop corn, and just enjoying the cool breezes from the air conditioners. If only things were as simple as people not involved in the project thinks it is.

Well, certainly no one is mandating campground updates. Campground owners looking to attract more customers and provide and charge for more services will upgrade. Those who don’t want to or just provide a basic charge service on a power share type of operation will go that route. I’m sure most EV RV campers will be good with it either way. It’s not that hard.
