That is KOA's system-wide stance, and Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday in Millersville, Maryland follows it. No campsite charging here. The nearest DC fast charging is in Glen Burnie, about 5 miles away, with ChargePoint and SWTCH stations. Annapolis is also nearby, about 7 miles away, with Blink, ChargePoint, and SWTCH stations. Sitting between Baltimore and Annapolis, this part of Maryland has enough public fast charging that the campground restriction is a minor inconvenience at worst.
