EV Charging Allowed At Campsite
A reader sent us this tip. We try to confirm listings directly with the park before marking them “Confirmed,” but we haven't been able to verify this one yet, so call ahead before you rely on it.
A reader reports that EV charging is allowed at the sites. We could not confirm a specific EV charging policy with the resort.
Silver Lake Resort & Campground sits right on the water in Mears, Michigan, the calmer cousin to the dune-buggy chaos nearby, and a reader passed along that the park is fine with charging an EV at your site. Treat that as a single guest's word rather than posted policy, because we could not get the resort to confirm it, and a quick call settles it. The nearest public DC fast charging outside the park is in New Era, about 10 miles away (EV Connect). Scottville is another option at roughly 21 miles, with ChargePoint and Red E. Out on this part of the Oceana County coast, fast chargers are a short drive but not on your doorstep, so plan a top-off on your way in or out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not by the park. This listing comes from a reader who shared their firsthand experience, and we have not been able to get the park to confirm it. Treat it as a helpful tip, not an official policy, and call Silver Lake Resort & Campground before you arrive to make sure nothing has changed.
Probably, though it isn't confirmed. A traveler reported that Silver Lake Resort & Campground in Mears, Michigan lets EVs charge at the campsites, Teslas included, but the park has not verified an EV policy, so call ahead before you count on it. Most RV parks have 30 and 50 amp service. Use the 50 amp pedestal for your EV and 30 amp for your trailer. A 30-to-50 amp adapter is not recommended, as most EVs will draw too much power thinking they're on a 50 amp circuit. Out on this part of the Oceana County coast, fast chargers are a short drive but not on your doorstep, so plan a top-off on your way in or out. If the park confirms charging is OK, plug in when you arrive and you can wake up with a full battery instead of sweating over your next stop.
By a reader's account, Silver Lake Resort & Campground offers campsite-level EV charging, meaning you plug into the electrical pedestal at your site. The park has not confirmed this, so verify it first. Most RV parks have 30 and 50 amp service. Use the 50 amp pedestal for your EV and 30 amp for your trailer, or the NEMA 5-15 household outlet. A 30-to-50 amp adapter is not recommended. Always confirm with the park before you start charging, and turn down your charge rate if possible. A slower draw is kinder to the park's infrastructure and less likely to flip breakers.
A reader reports you can charge at your site at Silver Lake Resort & Campground, but that isn't park-confirmed, so it's worth knowing your DC fast charging options either way.

Have your next charging stop figured out before you arrive. The peace of mind is worth the two minutes of planning.
