How Campgrounds Can Tap Into the EV Travel Boom – Without Expensive Upgrades

How Campgrounds Can Tap Into the EV Travel Boom – Without Expensive Upgrades

EV Charging on your Campground – with the J+ BOOSTER 2 and your Existing Infrastructure

Electric vehicles are reshaping the way people travel – and how they camp. For campground owners, this shift opens up powerful opportunities to attract modern travelers, enhance guest satisfaction, and generate additional income – all without the cost or complexity of installing fixed charging stations.

 

Camping off the Beaten Path

As EV ownership continues to surge in North America, more campers and RV travelers are hitting the road in electric vehicles. These guests need reliable charging options along their routes and during overnight stays. By providing simple access to charging, campgrounds can position themselves as EV-friendly destinations – earning a competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.

Adding charging access helps campgrounds:

  • Capture a growing segment of eco-conscious travelers.
  • Increase bookings and extend the length of guest stays.
  • Differentiate themselves from nearby competitors.

 

Use What You Already Have: NEMA 14-50 and TT-30 Outlets

Most campgrounds are already equipped for EV charging without realizing it. Standard NEMA 14-50 or TT-30 outlets – commonly used for RV hookups and widely available at U.S. campgrounds – are perfect for Level 2 EV charging. With simple adapters, both connect seamlessly to the J+ BOOSTER 2. The portable charger plugs directly into the existing outlets, automatically detects available power, and delivers safe, efficient charging of up to 9.6 kW (240V).

Because it works with any power outlet, the mobile charger can be used at virtually any parking spot –no need for dedicated EV sections. With the J+ BOOSTER 2, campground owners can offer convenient EV charging without installing fixed stations at every parking space or upgrading their electrical infrastructure.

Engineered for the outdoors, the J+ BOOSTER 2 is waterproof, dustproof, and impact-resistant. It features integrated RCD protection and active temperature monitoring to ensure safe, compliant operation in any weather.

 

More convenience, More Revenue

Adding EV charging not only improves the guest experience – it opens up a new income opportunity. Campgrounds can simply rent out their J+ BOOSTER 2 units or charge guests by the hour, session, or kWh. For example:

  • $10–15 per night for charging access
  • $2–3 per hour of use
  • $0.20–0.30 per kWh (depending on local rules)

EV travelers are willing to pay for convenience, and a simple rental model makes the service easy to manage. Handling the service can be part of the check-in-process, just like propane refills or firewood sales – an additional, low-maintenance revenue stream with no installation costs.

 

Boost Bookings With Eco-Friendly Appeal

Offering EV charging instantly sets your campground apart. Sustainability is becoming a key decision factor for travelers – especially younger guests and families. Providing charging directly at the campsite shows your support for clean mobility.

This small addition can:

  • Enhance your online listings and reviews.
  • Attract higher-value, eco-conscious guests.
  • Encourage repeat visits and longer stays.

 

What the Numbers Say – A Revenue Projection

Let’s look at a realistic scenario. If just five EV-driving guests use your charging service once per week:

  • $12 per session x 5 sessions/week = $60 per week
  • $60 x 4 weeks = $240 per month
  • That’s roughly $3,000 per year in additional income – from equipment you already have.

The return on investment is immediate.
