Sand Hills RV Resort in St. Anthony, Idaho allows electric vehicle charging at campsites. Charging of electrical vehicles (EV's) that draw over 100 amp-hours is permitted only with prior approval and is subject to a $50 per day usage fee per vehicle. In a region where charging options are few, having campsite charging available is a real find. The nearest public DC fast charging outside the park is in Idaho Falls, about 21 miles away (Electrify America and Tesla Supercharger). Further out, the next option is Ashton, roughly 27 miles out, with public DC fast charging. Idaho is big and open, and the EV charging map has plenty of empty space between the dots. Plan your stops carefully.
