EV Charging Policy

EV Charging Not Allowed
Verified by official park websiteMar 2026

EV charging prohibited. Two words, military efficiency, from a military-affiliated campground. Monterey Pines RV Campground is run by Navy MWR in Monterey, California, and the policy leaves no room for interpretation. The consolation is that the Monterey Peninsula has excellent public charging. Seaside is also nearby, about 1 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Monterey itself has DC fast charging from ChargePoint, EVCS, and Tesla Supercharger. Between the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and the 17-Mile Drive, you will have plenty of reasons to drive into town anyway; charge while you sightsee.
