Essential camping gear: The best power banks for your trip
Losing charge while out camping? These power banks will be just what you need

While you might not have service during your adventures, one of the worst things that can happen while camping is having your device run out of battery. Losing charge on your device could mean that you no longer have access to maps or other important resources, so it's important to pack a great power bank whenever you go camping. There are so many great options on the market today, so here's everything we look for in a great power bank for camping, as well as a few of our favorite recommendations.
What to consider when buying a power bank for camping

Capacity (mAh)
When out camping, you'll likely be away from an outlet for at least 48 hours. Buying a power bank that has a high mAh will be just the thing to keep all of your devices charged. To figure out how much capacity you'll need, estimate based on the capacity of your phone, GPS, and other gadgets. Generally one that is over 20,000mAh will suit your needs.
Portability
High-capacity power banks can be heavy, so if you're thinking about trekking through the woods with this brick, you'll want to purchase a power bank that is a portable weight and size. There are many compact designs on the market, and many of them are light weight.
Durability
Stuff happens when you're out in the wild, so you'll also want a power bank model that's durable. Opt for power banks that are shockproof, dustproof, and water resistant with a rating of IP65 or higher. Some also have options for protective casing, which can go a long way.
Charging speed
Fast charging is always nice to have, especially in an emergency. Look for power banks with Quick Charge (QC) or Power Delivery (PD) for faster charging. It's also nice if your power bank has multiple ports so you can charge more than one device at a time.
Temperature tolerance
If you're going camping in a super hot or cold climate, you'll want to invest in a power bank that can handle both extremes. Lithium-polymer batteries are generally better for extreme temperatures, so opt for that over a lithium-ion battery. For long trips in sunny areas, some power banks come with a built-in solar panel.

The Grand Canyon might be raising campground prices for the first time in 20 years
Grand Canyon National Park proposes campground fee hikes

In a recent proposal, Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) announced plans to raise the overnight camping fees at its three main front-country campgrounds: Mather, Desert View, and North Rim. The National Park Service hasn't raised fees for over 20 years, but as the Grand Canyon has increased in popularity, so have the operational costs.

With over five million visitors annually, the Grand Canyon faces the ongoing challenge of balancing conservation efforts with providing a world-class visitor experience. This fee change may be necessary to keep current maintenance standards and build necessary upgrades to support a growing amount of annual visitors. This could potentially mean updating old amenities, expanding facilities, and increasing safety measures. While it could enhance the camping experience, it may also create barriers for some visitors.
