Glenholme sits where the Salmon River meets the Bay of Fundy, and Truro / Tidal Bore KOA Holiday takes its name from the famous tidal bore that rolls up the river. EV charging, however, is not permitted. The standard KOA warning about pedestal limitations applies. The nearest DC fast charging is in Masstown, about 2 miles away, with FLO stations. Truro is also nearby, about 10 miles away, with ChargePoint stations. Two miles to a fast charger is about as good as it gets for a KOA that will not let you plug in, and Glenholme's position on the Trans-Canada corridor means you are well-served regardless.
EVs require constant electricity flow to charge their batteries, and the majority of our campgrounds' electrical pedestals do not have this capability… Plugging your EV into a traditional 50-30 amp campground pedestal could permanently damage your vehicle as well as the campground's electrical system. Not listed on KOA's approved EV charging location list.
