More common than not just about everywhere for monthly/seasonal sites.

Short term, you typically pay much more per night and they typically include it as it's a lot of hassle to check the usage before & after a stay.

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.

When charged, is it flat fee or metered?
There is something special about camping in an RV.

Common for Monthly rates, especially in Snowbird areas.
Rare for weekly stays.
Almost non existent for daily stays.

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.
