          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. But don’t count on it in remote spots, where delivery coverage is hit-or-miss.

          New 2026 Rule Will Require ID Checks at Major U.S. National Parks

          Campground pricing is shifting fast. Some parks are now using AI and real-time algorithms to adjust rates like airlines do—higher when demand spikes, lower (but not too low) when it drops. This isn’t just about weekends costing more; it’s about rates changing based on when you book and how full the park is. 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.
