you are paying for the electricity whether they meter it or prorate in to your daily or weekly bill.just seems to sting a little more when they hand you a bill for it
It seems its usually metered when staying monthly. I was boondocking out in the sticks and got water at an RV park that runs on an 85kw diesel generator. Monthly spot $250 plus .33 kw!!! Never cheap to run on generator.
That's been very common in the private parks we've stayed in in Florida once your stay get past the nightly rate. When the rates drop the extra electricity rates kick in.
