We unpack insights from the 2026 KOA report and Campspot’s Q1 data, including shifting demand, changing camper demographics, and the evolving balance between occupancy and pricing. We also cover continued hotel entry into the space—from Best Western’s new glamping collection to Under Canvas expanding near Yosemite—and what it means for independent operators. Finally, we dive into major RV industry news, including a potential merger between Lippert and Patrick Industries and what slowing RV sales could signal for the broader market.
