The future cost of RV stay

western is correct. Although the massive upgrade can probably be spread over 20+ years and may not start for 10. Just as we have 30amp and 50amp sites now there will be a few added with a second 50 amp EV charging connection. Virtually zero are needed today.

Not that easy to spread an upgrade over multiple years. Beyond the major problem of having construction going on continually, where do you start and stop? Do the best sites get the charging upgrade and need to be kept empty in case an EV rig comes around. Or do you relegate the EVs to less desirable locations so the best sites are available for the more common internal combustion rigs? Will you price the EV sites much higher due to the higher electrical costs and construction costs or will you pass the costs on to everyone including those who don't use either the sites or the extra electricity keeping the price increases more modest? What about groups traveling together when one has an EV rig? Do you break up the group or use all the EV sites for one EV? Plus construction of a new area will often require crossing a completed area increasing costs. Lots of issues to consider.

I can remember when having a 15 amp outlet in a campsite was a luxury. Yet, somehow most campgrounds updated to 30 then 50amp service. Though not necessarily all of their sites. And, there are still a lot of National Parks with no electricity. It is difficult to predict the future but if the need for more electricity arises it is your choice whether to service the need or watch your business go elsewhere. It is not going to be all of a sudden, you will have a couple of years but it will always be your choice. Complaining about here is not going to do you any good regardless. But what to do and how much to charge for it will always be your choice.
