June 2026: 76 New Parks, From 500 to 580

Last month we crossed 500 parks. Since then we have added 76 more across 19 states, pushing the directory to 580. The Upper Midwest and Utah's canyon country did most of the work, and the oldest split in this dataset held firm: the KOAs said no almost without exception, the public parks said yes.

Highlights This Month

  • Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort bills a $500 violation fee straight to the card on file if you charge a personal EV at any site or cottage. That ties the steepest published penalty in the directory ⚠️
  • Ruby's Inn RV Park at the mouth of Bryce Canyon has the most serious setup in this batch: six Level 2 chargers for overnight guests, plus a brand new eight-stall Tesla Supercharger that went live on the property in July 2025. Gateway-town charging usually means a long detour, not here
  • Minnesota's DNR publishes an actual map of which state parks have EV plug-in campsites, and six of them landed in the directory this round, from Gooseberry Falls and Tettegouche on the North Shore to Big Bog up near the Canadian border
  • Eagle RV Park in Thermopolis has the friendliest policy we have logged in a while: every site has a TT-30 outlet, Tesla drivers just bring an adapter, and the front desk asks only that you tip for the trouble. No meter, no fine, just a tip jar
  • Stanley RV + Camp, deep in Idaho's Sawtooths where public chargers are thin on the ground, runs a single station you book online: $5 an hour or $40 for an overnight fill. Out there, a scheduled charger beats no charger

Trends & Insights

  • →KOA stays the most reliable "no" in the directory. Nineteen KOAs joined this round and eighteen of them prohibit charging, nearly all citing pedestal and electrical damage in near-identical language from Pennsylvania to Utah. The lone holdout, Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA, allows it for an extra fee on select sites
  • →Public park systems are the mirror image. All fourteen state, recreation, and municipal parks in this batch either allow campsite charging or run a public station. Minnesota's DNR plug-in sites, Pennsylvania DCNR lot chargers at Raccoon Creek and Shawnee, and two New Mexico state parks all point the same way
  • →Metered hourly charging is spreading, and the Upper Midwest is leading it. Three Minnesota municipal and county parks (Talcot, South Dutch Charley, and Grand Marais) all bill $2 an hour, and Stanley RV in Idaho runs $5. The flat nightly EV surcharge is slowly giving way to pay-for-what-you-pull
  • →Reader tips did real work this month. Eleven of the 76 came from travelers who emailed firsthand experiences we could not get the parks to confirm: the cluster of campgrounds around Michigan's Silver Lake dunes, a few Wisconsin and Utah parks, and Davis Mountains State Park in west Texas. They are flagged as unconfirmed, but they fill in corners of the map the official pages never will
