EV Camping Guides
Everything you need to know about charging your electric vehicle at RV parks and campgrounds. Practical advice from outlet types to adapter kits to the unwritten rules of campground charging.
Can You Plug an EV Into an RV Outlet?
Yes, you can charge an EV from an RV park power pedestal. But the details matter more than you think, and getting them wrong can trip a breaker, fry an adapter, or get you kicked out of the park.
How Fast Will My EV Charge at a Campground?
Campground charging is not DC fast charging, and that is fine. You are sleeping anyway. The real question is whether you will wake up with enough range to get where you are going, and the answer depends entirely on which outlet you plug into.
What Adapters Do You Need to Charge Your EV at a Campground?
The outlets at a campground are not the same as the ones in your garage. Different plugs, different voltages, different connectors. Sorting out which adapters you actually need is not complicated, but buying the wrong one can leave you stranded or, worse, damage your charging equipment.
RV Park EV Charging Etiquette
RV parks were built for RVs. You are a guest in their world. The parks that welcome EV charging are doing you a favor, and the fastest way to lose that privilege is to act like the outlet belongs to you.
Charging Your EV Along I-70 in Utah and Colorado
Here is something you do not see often: every single RV park and campground in our directory along the I-70 corridor in Utah and Colorado supports EV charging. Nine parks, zero restrictions. If you are planning a western road trip in an EV, this is the corridor to build around.
EV Charging on a Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip
The Pacific Coast Highway is one of the great American road trips. It is also a study in contrasts for EV drivers. California's coast has strong campground charging options. Oregon and Washington get sparse fast. Knowing which parks will charge your car, and which ones will fine you for trying, is the difference between a great trip and a stressful one.
EV Charging Along Route 66
Route 66 runs from Chicago to Santa Monica through some of the most EV-hostile territory in the country. But buried in the middle of that corridor is a surprise: Missouri, where 13 state parks allow campsite charging and make the heartland the friendliest stretch on the entire route.
EV Charging Along I-95: Maine to Florida
I-95 is the spine of the East Coast, 1,900 miles from Houlton, Maine to Miami. We track 52 RV parks along this corridor, and 31 of them support EV charging. The pattern is clear: KOA campgrounds with charging stations form a reliable backbone, New England has surprising density, and the Southeast has room to grow.
