On today’s episode of Good Morning Outdoors, Matt Whitermore and Alex Burkett cover some big moves in the outdoor and alternative accommodation space. Under Canvas Inc. has officially launched its new Outdoor Collection brand with the acquisition of The Fields of Michigan, marking a strategic expansion into uniquely local, nature-connected properties.

Over in Europe, HolaCamp has secured €10 million in funding to grow its outdoor lodging marketplace across the continent. Meanwhile, Harvest Hosts is rolling out a new RV ride-pooling feature—dubbed “RV Rides”—that could shake up transportation in the camping and RV world.

Horizon Outdoor Hospitality announced new management service offerings as they continue evolving their portfolio, and Pathfinder Ventures shared that their spring 2025 reservations are up 48% year-over-year across their Canadian RV communities.

And finally, if you’re planning a trip to the Grand Canyon, be prepared for a steep increase in camping fees, with rates set to rise more than 65% in 2025.
