"Unfortunately our campground is not set up with EV charging capabilities." At least they are apologetic about it. Astoria / Warrenton / Seaside KOA Resort in Hammond, Oregon sits right where the Columbia River meets the Pacific, at the very northwest tip of the state. The nearest DC fast charging is in Warrenton, about 3 miles away, with Electrify America and Tesla Supercharger stations. Astoria is also nearby, about 5 miles away, with EV Connect, EVCS, and Rivian Adventure Network. Three miles to fast charging at the mouth of the Columbia takes the disappointment down a notch. This is Lewis and Clark territory; they had it worse.
