The rise of remote workers has increased demand for national parks with developed electrical infrastructure for RVs. Yellowstone National Park has approximately 200 campsites with electric hookups, while Zion offers over 160 year-round sites. Death Valley has significantly expanded its capacity, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park is noted for reliable infrastructure due to partner campgrounds.

The U.S. National Park Service system's largest number of full-hookup RV sites is in Yellowstone. Fishing Bridge RV Park provides 310 sites with electricity, water, and sewer connections, a figure substantially higher than other major parks. Yellowstone recorded 37,261 overnight RV stays in 2025, with the campground operating seasonally from May to October.
