Washing – Guests are not permitted to wash dishes at campground spigots. - Please dispose of wastewater at the dumpsters provided. Ev Charging - Protecting our environment is and always has been a priority for Lake Hemet Campground, and we are researching the addition of EV charging stations in our campgrounds; however, there are currently no EV charging capabilities at our facilities. - While many of our campgrounds have electrical pedestals to power RVs, these pedestals function differently than EV charging stations. - RV electrical pedestals are designed for non-continuous loads, not the constant electricity flow required to charge EV batteries. - It is essential to know that plugging your EV into a 30-50 amp electric pedestal designed for RV usage can permanently damage your vehicle, as well as the campground’s electrical system. - Even if your vehicle came from the manufacturer with a charging converter, it does not change the way electricity flows through the electrical infrastructure.
