"We are not equipped to safely charge electric vehicles. If we find that you are plugging your electric vehicle into our electrical pedestal, there will be a $50.00 charge." Cool Sunshine RV Park in Alamosa, Colorado does not mince words. The $50 penalty is not outrageous by campground standards, but the safety framing is worth noting; they are saying the infrastructure cannot handle it, not just that they do not want you to. Alamosa also has public DC fast charging from ChargePoint and Tesla Supercharger. Monte Vista is also nearby, about 17 miles away, with ChargePoint and EV Connect stations. The San Luis Valley sits at 7,500 feet with Great Sand Dunes National Park just up the road, so plan your charging in town before you settle in.
