One site. Site #39, the 50-amp hookup. That is your only option for EV charging at Steens Mountain Wilderness Resort in Frenchglen, Oregon, and you need to confirm availability before you book. Frenchglen is not a place you stumble into accidentally; it sits at the base of Steens Mountain in Oregon's high desert, population barely double digits. The nearest DC fast charging is in Hines, about 45 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Burns is also nearby, about 46 miles away, with ChargePoint stations. Forty-five miles to the nearest fast charger, one designated site, and a landscape that makes the moon look developed. Call ahead, charge fully, and respect the remoteness.
