Between Denver and Colorado Springs along I-25, Jellystone Park™ at Larkspur in Larkspur, Colorado sits in a surprisingly convenient corridor for EV drivers. The website states that electric vehicles may only charge in designated locations, but details on the actual charger setup are thin. Call before you book to confirm what is on-site. The nearest DC fast charging is in Monument, about 6 miles away, with EVgo and Tesla Supercharger stations. Castle Rock is another option at roughly 12 miles, with EVgo, Electrify America, Ford BlueOval, and others. With fast charging six miles away in either direction along I-25, this is one of the easier spots in Colorado to keep an EV topped off regardless of what the park itself offers.
The website says: "Electric vehicles are only permitted to be charged in designated locations." We are unsure if this means there are dedicated chargers. Call in advance.
