Florida State Parks increasing fees.
Got an email from Florida DEP stating fees will increase effective May 5. All campsites and cabins with electric hookups will have an additional $7 per day added. Entry fees for Florida’s state park...

Note that that's for "non-registered day use" of the site with utilities. It's not applicable to ordinary camping (i.e. registered campers). There's no additional (separate) utility fee for camping beyond the fee for the site, which of course varies based on the utilities and amenities available at the site, among other things.
If you want to drive your electric car in and charge it at a camp site while wandering around the park, or something like that, then it will be $7.00.
The letter states "Non-registered, day-use sites per unit per day,
all campsites with electric and water service and all cabins."
That means it's applicable to ordinary campsites that have electric and water hookups. Doesn't matter if you plug your electric vehicle in or not, you still have to pay the $7/day fee.
All of the conditions are required for the fee to apply: it's only applicable to non-registered campers (and not to registered campers) for day use (not to overnight camping use) of the sites with hookups or of the cabins. Thus the fee is per day, not per night. The Fee schedule PDF makes that a little more clear, when you compare it with the fees for showers and dump stations, which similarly apply only to non-registered campers.
