EV Charging Allowed At Campsite
You may charge your electric vehicle for 15 cents per kWh at the site pedestal. Your camper and your vehicle may not be plugged in at the same time.

Charging for electric vehicles is allowed only in emergency situations where the vehicle cannot make it back to a designated electric vehicle charging station.

The policy at Aspen Acres Campground in Rye, Colorado contradicts itself in a fascinating way. They list a rate of 15 cents per kWh and require you to notify the office, but then say charging is "allowed only in emergency situations where the vehicle cannot make it back to a designated electric vehicle charging station." You do not typically set a per-kWh price for something you only allow in emergencies. Call ahead and clarify before you count on it. Your camper and your EV cannot be plugged in at the same time. The nearest DC fast charging is in Pueblo, about 29 miles away, with ChargePoint and Electrify America stations. Walsenburg is another option at roughly 32 miles, with Tesla Supercharger. Rye sits along the Greenhorn Highway south of Pueblo, and sorting out the charging situation before you head into the mountains is strongly recommended.
