EV Charging Allowed At Campsite
Verified by official park websiteMar 2026

"EV charging is not permitted without prior approval from park management." That is the policy at Riverbend RV Park in Sanger, California, which technically allows campsite charging but with a gatekeeping step that could trip you up if you just show up and plug in. Call ahead. Get the green light. The approval process is not explained further on their site, so treat it like a reservation within your reservation. The nearest DC fast charging is in Fresno, about 8 miles away, with ChargePoint, EVCS, and EVgo stations. Clovis is another option at roughly 10 miles, with EVCS and Electrify America. The Central Valley has solid charging coverage, so even if the park says no, you will not be stranded.
