Hey All,
We’re currently camping at a KOA campground at Lookout Mountain, GA. Found out after we made our reservation and paid our non-refundable week of camping, that we couldn’t charge our car at our site.
We’ve been popup camping with a Model 3 and now Model y for a few of years with out any problem. We usually choose KOA because we know they have great sites and great power. We always get a 50amp RV site.
But the owner insisted our car will fry the campsite and sited this article at koa.com- Camping at KOA campgrounds with an electric vehicle (EV)
To me, it sounds like KOA simply isn’t up to electrical code. From my experience of putting in Level II charging at home, when you advertise a NEMA 14-50 jack, then that circuit should be built to handle that load. Which is how millions of folks have been charging at home for over a decade now.
We’d recommend calling the campsite before making your reservation and adjusting your travel plans accordingly.
Happy E-camping!
