Lac Pelletier Regional Park Campsite Electrical Receptacles

All of our electrified camp sites are supplied with 30 amp 125 Volt receptacles and breakers with the exception of the new Hidden Valley Campground which has 50 amp 125/250 volt receptacles. Most existing campgrounds throughout the province only have the 30 amp 125V receptacles. With the advent of newer campers that have larger or multiple air conditioners there has become a problem of these campers overloading the campground electrical systems. The cost to upgrade these systems to 50 amp 125/250 Volt is very high as it effectively nearly doubles the connected load. The LPRP has no plans in the near future to upgrade any of the 30 amp campgrounds to 50 amp.

If it camper is experiencing breakers tripping it is because the load they have connected has exceeded the 30 amp capacity. It is the camper’s responsibility to ensure that they decrease their load to prevent these breakers from tripping and overloading the breaker capacity.

Once a breaker has tripped, since it is a thermal device and works on heat generated from the electrical load connected, the breaker must be allowed to cool before resetting –  recommended time is 30 minutes minimal.   While the breaker is cooling, the camper need to lower their electrical load by turning off electric water heater and or second air conditioner.

Statistics show that that only one breaker in 5,000 fails because of mechanical defect so there is a 4999 to 1 chance that if the breaker trips it is because the camper has overloaded it. Breakers will also fail to function if the breaker is overloaded and tripped multiple times.

If your breaker trips and will not reset after it has cooled, call the park office and the maintenance personal will come and measure your connected load and replace the breaker if the connected load is under the 30 amps.  If the connected load is in access of the 30 amps, the breaker will not be replaced until the connected load is decreased to less than 30 amps.

Once a breaker has been replaced, it is the camper’s responsibility to ensure that the connected load is less than 30 amps at all times.  If the park maintenance personnel have to change the breaker a second or subsequence time, the LPRP will charge the camper $100 to change the breaker again.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
