"Charging of Electric Vehicles is not allowed." Short, simple, and non-negotiable at Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort in Felton, California. The park sits along Highway 9 in the redwood corridor between Santa Cruz and the San Lorenzo Valley, which is a beautiful drive but not one that inspires electrical confidence. Fortunately, the alternatives are close. The nearest DC fast charging is in Scotts Valley, about 2 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Santa Cruz is also nearby, about 6 miles away, with ChargePoint, EVgo, and Electrify America. Two miles to a Supercharger takes the sting out of the prohibition entirely.
