I stayed at the one in Joshua Tree in Southern California last year, and it was wonderful. The airstreams are so cute, and they have a lot of outdoor communal spaces, so you don't feel like you're stuck inside your RV all the time. Like, you can sit by the fire pit, and you can hang out in the lobby, which is just beautiful. It has this striking door that's really iconic. So...

I'm looking at points rates for AutoCamp Zion, and they're usually like about 100,000 Hilton points or more, which is a similar rate for a high-end resort. So the cash rates are only about $300 a night.

This sounds like a time to shamelessly plug our NerdWallet points calculator for Hilton points, which you can find in our show notes. Even if it's not a good redemption, these partnerships are great for people because if you pay in cash, you can still earn points on your stay. So at AutoCamp, you earn 10 Hilton honors points for every dollar you spend on your room rate.

Either way, if you're redeeming points or earning points, these can still be a really great opportunity if you're interested in staying near the national parks.

Eating s'mores around the fire pit at Joshua Tree under all those stars was magical. You have to do it.

And with almost all travel, interest has just exploded, especially in the last 10 years.

Not the busiest year, though. That record was actually back in 2016 when there was 330 million national park visits recorded. What happened in 2016? Well, that was the National Park Service Centennial. So I'm guessing it was a big marketing push to get everyone to celebrate the 100th anniversary of that agency. Okay, so these types of marketing tactics really do work. Yeah.
