Can you charge an EV here? Yes · 50-amp

The 50-amp full-hookup sites can charge an electric truck at the pedestal, about 9.6 kW at 40 amps, with room to dial the current down and run the camper air conditioning at the same time. We plugged in here.

Our take

Perfect location when you're visiting Capitol Reef or on the way to Bryce Canyon. A nice resting point with a restaurant (dinner only), and the food was delicious. The campground was well taken care of and the staff was friendly, with a huge gift shop and Jeep rentals on site. There is a barn with picnic tables that is great for camping groups. It was very hot, so the pool would be a nice place to cool off. Full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, and we charged our Rivian here before heading to Bryce.

Heads upWe only charged to 75% here and rolled into Bryce at 2%, which was scary. There are no chargers in between, so wait until you are at 100% before you leave.
