Power Plug

[antonioavaz]

Does every camping site in US have regular power plug? Like the 20 amp plug we have at home?
I read on the camping website that it is a 50 amp plug, but usually it has a 20 amp too?

Hi Antonio. Welcome to the forum.
The answer to your question is. Most do. I have run into one park that did not. That park was the KOA in Durango, Colorado. They did sell me an adapter though.  I have never needed it again. That was in 2007.

I carry many adaptors just to be prepared for any situation I may run into

Most campground have both a 20A and a 30A receptacle: https://www.campsitereports.com/photos/Approved/Processed/USA/WI/PID120/Devils-Lake-State-Park-Northern-Lights-Campground-Campsite-149-Electrical-outlets-PhotoID-S016131.jpg

Some also have a 50A receptacle: https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/ImageRepository/Document?documentId=53344

Personally, I have never run into a campground without a standard plug.

Methinks these are all standard plugs:

Short answer: NO.. Longer answer
Very few sites do not have a 15/20 amp outlet but .. I have been in ONE CAMPGROUND that only had TT-30s  Oh they used to have 30 and a 15/20 but they took them out and put in block off plates and now only have 30s

Unless you pay extra for a 50 amp site.

And another campground I've been the box will have like 3 TT-30s and one 15/20 and low voltage all around.

But these are still rare.

I've seen every combination: 20/30, 30/50, 20/30/50, 20 only, 30 only and 50 only. Even a 15-amp outlet once, complete with glass fuse.

Adapters are cheap. Not being able to plug in is no fun.
