EV Charging Policy

EV Charging Allowed At Campsite
Submitted by Camp & Charge readerMay 2026

Submitted by a Camp & Charge reader, who reports that you can camp and charge overnight at Wallace State Park in Cameron, Missouri, and that out of season the system goes on the honor system, payment by envelope. Worth a phone call to the park office to confirm the policy is still in place before you rely on it. The park sits about seven miles south of Cameron in the rolling Clinton County prairie, with Lake Allaman at its center. Cameron also has public DC fast charging from ChargePoint. Kearney is another option at roughly 22 miles, with IONNA and EVgo. Most of Missouri’s other state parks run a $5-per-night EV charging program, so the envelope honor system here stands out, even before you factor in the rural quiet of north-central Missouri.
