We have family that is both terminally ill and that has medically required equipment that needs to be with them 24/7. Some of their equipment would require the use of a generator if something were to happen to the battery.
I have been camping for years and during that time several camp grounds including state parks have had issue with power sources from time to time. We have needed to use our generator to ensure the oxygen takes were good to go, the camper was cool enough for my dad, even to charge his scooter so he could get around when he was able to walk .
I also had very small children or babies that needed to stay cool or warmer depending on the months. Not all of us tent camp and we select to bring smaller or elder family to enjoy nature but realize they may have different needs and may need the use of a generator if the power source were to ever to compromised .
Those who do camp tent should have the same right to stay comfortable and enjoy nature at the same time . That’s what the restricted hours are for.
