Planning multi-day camping trip

I'm planning a multi-day camping trip that starts in a sparse charger area- West Texas and East New Mexico towards Albuquerque. I've been using ABRP and feel confident about making it to the first destination. However, it occurred to me that the arrival SoC at the campsite might not be enough to get to the next charger the next day. Sure enough, when I route from the first campsite to the second with a low level of charge to begin with, ABRP couldn't find a solution.

I'm hoping to be able to charge at the campsite, but I can't be sure of it.

It seems like a I need to route plan for two days with the first night's stop in the middle. That way, it tries to achieve a minimum SoC at the first campsite to make it to a charger the next day. At least, I guess I need to route to the first intended charger the next morning. Is there a better way to do this?

I guess the route planners always expects you can charge at your destination. I have noticed that ABRP has a round trip menu option that adds the legs back into the whole calculation. It needs a "no charging at destination" option.
