EV Charging Policy

Verified by official park websiteSource:in.govLast checked Sep 2026
EV Charging Stations Available
There are now Tesla (and one universal) charging stations in the Inn Parking Garage.

A water-powered gristmill still grinds cornmeal in the pioneer village at Spring Mill State Park outside Mitchell, Indiana, and by 2017 the state reported Tesla chargers, plus one universal charger for everyone else, in the Spring Mill Inn's parking garage. Current charger maps list free Level 2 charging for inn guests, though they disagree on whether there are two Tesla units or three, and whether the universal one is still in service, so ask when you book. The chargers live at the inn, not the campsites, so campers should plan a short drive over. The nearest DC fast charging is in Bedford, about 8 miles away, with EV Connect stations. Salem is another option at roughly 22 miles, with EV Connect. This is southern Indiana cave country, where the park runs boat tours into Twin Caves, and an unhurried overnight on the inn charger matches the place.
