Lone Fir Resort in Cougar, Washington welcomes EV charging at campsites. Our cabins and rooms do not support EV charging. If you are a hotel/cabin guest, would like to charge your EV, and there is a RV spot available, we can add a $20 EV charging fee to your reservation per day. If there is no RV spot available, then EV charging is not available. That is good news for EV road trippers who want to wake up with a full battery. The nearest public DC fast charging outside the park is in Vancouver, about 3 miles away (bp pulse, ChargePoint, and others). Further out, the next option is Ridgefield, roughly 9 miles out, with Electric Era, EVCS, and others. Washington has strong EV charging coverage along the main corridors, but the backcountry can be a different story.

Yes. Lone Fir Resort in Cougar, Washington allows electric vehicle charging at campsites, and that includes Teslas. Most RV parks have 30 and 50 amp service. Use the 50 amp pedestal for your EV and 30 amp for your trailer. A 30-to-50 amp adapter is not recommended, as most EVs will draw too much power thinking they're on a 50 amp circuit.
