The problem is when at 50%, you can dump quite a few amps into them but as you get up around 80%, the batteries, simply won't accept as many amps...slowly tapering down until the last 5-10% takes hours at a very slow charge rate.
I've seen my AGMs take up to 24 hours to charge to 100% at home. Virtually impossible on a generator.
Lithium are nice but expensive and muck it up and you can quickly destroy them. I'd add a solar system first but since the OP doesn't wan to do that, keep it simple. $100 for an extra battery and some cables and you negate the issue for the most part. Since he'll be going back to a regular park periodically, they will get a full charge regularly to stay happy.
