Modern RVs demand serious power. Dual air conditioners. Residential refrigerators. Multiple electronics. Hair dryers. The works. Running all of this on 30 amp service means constant trade-offs and popped breakers. Pine Ridge Campground offers 50 amp service for RVers who want to use everything their rig offers.

50 amp service delivers approximately 12,000 watts - nearly four times the power of 30 amp. This isn't just "more power" - it's a different camping experience. Run both AC units simultaneously. Use the microwave while the AC runs. Charge everything without worrying about capacity.

For seasonal campers, 50 amp service means your RV functions exactly like home. You're not managing power loads or shutting things off before turning others on. You simply live in your RV with everything working.

We also offer 30 amp and 20 amp for smaller rigs - Pine Ridge accommodates all RV types. But for those who need serious power, our 50 amp infrastructure delivers.

Why 50 Amp Matters

RVs have evolved. Today's models include features that simply weren't possible a decade ago - residential appliances, multiple AC units, extensive electronics. But all that capability requires power that many campgrounds can't deliver.

50 amp service is specifically designed for larger, well-equipped RVs. If you've upgraded your RV or bought a larger unit, you need infrastructure that matches. Trying to run a 50 amp RV on 30 amp service means constant limitations.

For seasonal camping through Pennsylvania summers, AC capacity is critical. Dual AC units keep large RVs comfortable in July heat. But dual ACs require 50 amp service - there's simply no workaround.
