EV Charging Policy

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.

When a reader asked whether EV charging is allowed on site, the campground said yes, as long as you have an adapter or can plug into the site hookup. Sites use standard campsite pedestals, and the reader suggests limiting the charge rate to prevent any issues. We could not independently confirm this policy.

Five miles south of the village on Route 414, the Watkins Glen/Corning KOA Resort is the rare full-service resort that will say yes to charging at your site. A reader who asked was told it is fine as long as you bring an adapter or can plug into the site hookup. The pedestals are standard campsite units rather than EV equipment, so the reader's own advice is sound: dial the charge rate down and let it sip overnight. That answer came by inquiry rather than a published policy, so confirm at check-in. For a faster fill, the nearest DC fast charging is in Watkins Glen, about 6 miles away, with Electrify America stations. Elmira is another option at roughly 11 miles, with Tesla Supercharger and Red E. Between the gorge at the state park and the racetrack up the hill, this corner of the Finger Lakes gives you plenty of reasons to arrive with an empty battery and leave with a full one.

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 Watkins Glen/Corning KOA Resort before you arrive to make sure nothing has changed.

Probably, though it isn't confirmed. A traveler reported that Watkins Glen/Corning KOA Resort in Watkins Glen, New York 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. The pedestals are standard campsite units rather than EV equipment, so the reader's own advice is sound: dial the charge rate down and let it sip overnight. 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, Watkins Glen/Corning KOA Resort 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.

The nearest DC fast charging is in Watkins Glen, about 6 miles away, with Electrify America. Beyond that, Elmira is about 11 miles away with Tesla Supercharger and Red E. Have your next charging stop figured out before you arrive. The peace of mind is worth the two minutes of planning.

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.
