Two stations in the side parking lot near the day-use area at Prineville Reservoir State Park, southeast of Prineville, Oregon. The reservoir sits in the high desert rimrock country of Crook County, and the on-site chargers are a thoughtful addition from Oregon State Parks. If you need DC fast charging beyond what the park provides, Prineville is about 17 miles away with FLO stations. Redmond is another option at roughly 26 miles, with EVCS and Tesla Supercharger. Central Oregon's outdoor recreation has boomed in recent years, and the charging infrastructure is catching up, but slowly. The on-site stations at the reservoir save you the 34-mile round trip back to town.
