Rosehip Jul 2017 11:46am, 29 Jul 2017 9,203 posts	0 Rosehip - but with a teenager in tow this week, it was nice to have electric hook up in the tent - a lot of sites that don't take tents have mainly hard standing, must be easier to maintain ?? I'm surprised that sites don't have some sort of a hook up for back packers - the usual cable and sockets are much too big and heavy to carry but it would be easy for sites to rent the cable etc with a usb plug fitted and being able to charge a phone or run/charge a tiny light would be a nice little luxury.

The other variety, stick charger, is too big and heavy and doesn't carry/provide enough charge to earn a place in my pack. And yes, a usb point would be much easier than the big three pin round thing we take with us for electric hook-ups. btw, I found one 'luxury' mobile home/motorhome site that said they don't charge backpackers for pitches, will recharge small electrical devices etc free and only ask you to pay for per person extras (presumably showers). I wish more were like that.
