Pro tip for a car-free campsite

• After you’ve installed at your pitch, park in the designated parking area. If you plan to charge, follow on-site directions for where to leave the car during your session and where to return it afterward.
• Use the carts by the barrier for moving groceries or extra luggage, keeping the pathways clear and the grounds peaceful.

Smart charging on a relaxing schedule

Charging doesn't have to interrupt your holiday flow. A little planning makes it effortless:

• Charge on arrival or before check-out. These are natural moments when your car is already at the parking area.
• Enable charge-complete alerts. That way, you can return promptly and keep chargers available for others.
• Keep your session purposeful. Set a charge limit that fits your next outing, then unplug and move the car.
• Use dedicated stations only. For safety and fairness, charge your car at the Shell Recharge EV stations—not from pitch power.
