Rendezvous in the Ozarks 2026

Rendezvous in the Ozarks is a grassroots overland campout in the Ozark National Forest area of Arkansas, organized by Natural State Overland on private land with access to forest trails and fire roads. Its intimate scale — limited capacity, no big vendor halls — gives it a festival feel centred on community rather than commerce.

Attendees enjoy guided trail rides, skills clinics, and evening campfire gatherings as autumn colours peak across the Ozark hills. It is a beloved event among DIY van and off-road camper builders in the central US who prefer experiences over expo floors.

San Diego Police continue crackdown on illegally parked RVs

San Diego Police conduct pre-dawn enforcement in Mission Bay, offering owners of illegally parked RVs a choice: relocate to H-Barracks or receive a $173 parking citation. Under the city's Oversized Vehicle Ordinance, parking RVs on city lots and public streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is illegal. Since enforcement resumed in July 2025, SDPD has issued nearly 8,000 citations through August 2026 and made 888 successful referrals to safe parking. During one shift, officers issued 29 citations and made five referrals, but only two RVs arrived at H-Barracks.

2021 Toyota Tundra Driver Says a Tanker Hit His Camper, Leaving It About 3 Feet Off Center While Still Hitched

A 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro owner reported that a tanker's rear axle struck the corner of his R-Pod 202 camper, shifting it about 3 feet to the truck's left while it remained hitched. The incident occurred about 20 miles from home after a trip to Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. The owner later said the camper was a total loss, while the truck received a clean bill of health from a frame shop.

RV owners move inland as Isaias approaches Gulf Coast

As Isaias approaches the Gulf Coast, some RV owners are moving their campers farther inland rather than waiting out the storm near the beach. Bay Breeze on the Bay RV Park in Fort Morgan, Alabama, is not allowing guests to stay past Friday night; campers can remain at the park, but owners are responsible for them. Kim Anderson, who has been staying at the park for about four years, planned to leave Thursday and return her RV to the park Monday, depending on the storm’s impact on the Gulf Coast.
