I'm old enough to remember when there was no electricity in camps.
And when electricity did come down the road (on poles).
I think the amp service was much lower back then.

Oringally Power came in as a 60 Amp Service, way back when... Over time it has crept up to 100A and 200A services for residential property. Really 100A is fine for most camp applications... However as soon as you start talking about AC, Washers, Dryers etc. you really need to be at 200A service...
I agree with what someone else said... if you need to upgrade go to 200A and put in a nice Breaker Box... it is never a bad investment....
