National Park Fee-Free Days Get a Shake-Up for 2026
The National Park Service’s 2026 fee-free days are getting a major revamp. Long-standing observances like Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth have been dropped, replaced by dates tied to presidential birthdays and patriotic themes. A bigger change? Only U.S. citizens and permanent residents will qualify for free entry on those days, aligning park access rules with broader federal recreation policies. While the number of fee-free days stays the same, the shift is already stirring up debate among travelers and advocates.
Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis to Step Down After 20 Years
Big changes are ahead at Camping World. Marcus Lemonis, the company’s longtime CEO, is stepping down at the end of 2025. President Matthew Wagner will take the reins starting January 1, 2026, bringing with him a background in operations and a reputation for streamlining processes. While the overall buying experience is expected to stay familiar, service departments might see quicker shifts under Wagner’s leadership. RVers frustrated by inconsistent repair times and unclear estimates will be watching closely to see what changes, and how fast.
Lawsuit Targets Trump Portrait on 2026 National Park Pass
A redesigned America the Beautiful pass for 2026 has triggered a federal lawsuit, and it’s not just about the artwork. The new pass features a portrait of Donald Trump for U.S. residents and different art for non-residents, alongside a big price gap—$80 versus $250. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this violates federal law, which requires the pass to feature the winner of a public photo contest. The case could delay the rollout and force changes before the new design goes live in January 2026.
Buc-ee’s Expansion Triggers Building Boom and Backlash in Florida
Buc-ee’s is bringing its mega gas stations to St. Lucie County in 2027 and Ocala in 2028, and it’s already changing the landscape. The planned 73,000-square-foot St. Lucie stop is fueling a wave of development, from new homes to a school and commercial space. But not everyone’s thrilled—a 100-foot-tall sign sparked concern over its impact on sea turtles and birds. Despite that, the project is nearly fully approved, and Buc-ee’s fans are already gearing up for another must-stop roadside destination.
