"Do not charge electric vehicles without prior arrangements made with campground host." That is the rule at Desert Oasis RV Park and Campground in McNeal, Arizona. It is not a no, it is an ask first, which in a place this remote feels more than fair. McNeal is a small community in Cochise County, the kind of town that does not show up on most maps, and the campground is off Double Adobe Road in genuine borderland desert. The nearest DC fast charging is in Sierra Vista, about 35 miles away, with ChargePoint and EV Connect stations. Benson is another option at roughly 45 miles, with Electrify America. Those distances are real, so contact the host ahead of time, make your arrangements, and arrive with enough charge to reach Sierra Vista if you need to.
