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.

One traveler reports charging an EV from the 50-amp full-hookup campsites across two stays, with park staff aware of and friendly toward the practice. Texas Parks and Wildlife does not publish a specific EV charging policy.

Davis Mountains State Park outside Fort Davis, Texas runs 50-amp full-hookup sites, and one traveler reports using them to charge an EV across two separate stays, with rangers who were curious rather than concerned, stopping by to ask about the rig. The catch is that Texas Parks and Wildlife does not publish an EV charging policy for the park, so treat this as one visitor's experience and not posted rules. Call ahead before you count on it. The nearest DC fast charging is in Alpine, about 24 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Balmorhea is another option at roughly 30 miles, with SWTCH. Up in the high country where the dark skies are the main event, the nearest fast charger is a genuine drive, so roll in with a plan.

By a reader's account, Davis Mountains State Park 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. Sites have 50-amp hookups. This is Level 2 charging, similar to a home wall charger. A 50 amp hookup can add roughly 30 miles of range per hour, so an overnight charge usually gets the job done. 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.
