Uber Teams Up with Camping World, Giving RVers On-Demand Gear Access

Uber just added Camping World to its app, letting users order camping and outdoor gear from local stores via Uber or Uber Eats. This could make life a lot easier for RV travelers who need last-minute supplies—especially in urban areas where both Camping World locations and Uber drivers are nearby.

Confusingly, many parks call any date-based pricing “dynamic,” even when it’s just seasonal. Real dynamic pricing runs constantly and doesn’t show campers the rate history, which can create sticker shock. Want to beat the system? Book early, stay flexible, and look for coupon codes or loyalty perks. But get ready—personalized pricing based on your online behavior might be next.
