In Brief

Ellsworth City Council voted 4-3 on Aug 30 to impose a moratorium on large-scale campground construction amid disputes over an RV park on Bayside Road. Residents cited traffic and peace concerns.

The Ellsworth City Council in Maine voted 4-3 at a special meeting on Sunday, August 30, to impose a moratorium on large-scale campground construction. The decision comes amid disputes over a proposed RV campground on Bayside Road.

Residents supported the six-month pause, citing potential harm to the area's tranquility and overloading of the single-lane road. Developer Richard Newman argued the project would not significantly affect traffic, but the council sided with residents, approving a 180-day ban on commercial campground construction.

Maine Council Schedules Vote on Possible Park Moratorium

The Ellsworth (Maine) City Council advanced the debate over a possible moratorium on RV parks, voting to hold an additional special meeting on the topic later this month following a lengthy discussion Monday night, Aug. 17, according to The Ellsworth American. The upcoming special meeting, which is expected to be held on Monday, Aug. 31, will occur just two days before an application for an RV park at 566 Bayside Road will come before the Planning Board for final approval on Sept. 2. The development in question — a 28-site recreational vehicle campground titled Anchor In Campground — was brought to the Planning Board on July 1 for preliminary approval. While the application received initial approval, the development was met with organized pushback from the surrounding neighborhood.

Colorado Rivian owner tows 25-foot Airstream to 12,200 feet with one fast-charge stop

A Rivian R1T Quad owner drove a rented 25-foot Airstream Flying Cloud from Denver to Fort Collins and into the mountains, reaching 12,200 feet. The trip required only one DC fast-charging session, with the rest coming from campground hookups. On the toughest day, the truck used about 70% of its battery over 95 miles while climbing 4,000 feet. The owner noted that towing range is primarily affected by the trailer's frontal area, not its weight.

Hilton AutoCamp: Review of Airstream Glamping Experience

Hilton is expanding into the camping segment with AutoCamp, offering Airstream trailers at locations including Catskills, Cape Cod, and Zion.

Points redemption is possible but limited. A picnic package is available for 368 yuan, including setup and service.
