Pet-friendly travel from Fi and AutoCamp

Pet-friendly travel from Fi and AutoCamp

Starting today, guests who book AutoCamp’s VIP (Very Important Pet) Package at any AutoCamp location nationwide will enjoy:

  • a two-night stay in an Airstream Suite, Cabin, or Adventure Tent

  • a waived pet fee

  • a complimentary Fi Mini with three months of Fi membership

  • AutoCamp dog treats and a collapsible bowl

  • an AutoCamp dog mat to use during the stay

The partnership comes as more pet owners choose to bring their dogs along on trips. According to Tripadvisor’s 2026 Travel Trendcast, bookings for dog-friendly experiences increased 260% year over year, while CivicScience research found that 26% of pet owners planning summer travel intended to bring their pets along in 2026, up from 17% in 2024.

Fi’s proprietary GPS data offers a closer look at how dog owners are traveling with their pets. Through Fi’s Safe Zone feature, which allows owners to designate locations and receive alerts if their dog leaves a specified area, the company found that Safe Zones created while traveling are 38% more likely to be in rural areas than those set around owners’ homes. Additionally, one in four travel Safe Zones is located at least 100 miles from home, and nearly half are set for 24 hours or longer.

As more dog owners venture beyond familiar surroundings, keeping pets safe and connected becomes even more important. The partnership brings Fi’s GPS and health tracking technology to AutoCamp’s outdoor destinations, helping guests explore new places with greater confidence and peace of mind.

“AutoCamp has created a unique way for travelers to explore the great outdoors, and we’re excited to bring Fi into that experience,” said Jonathan Bensamoun, CEO and co-founder of Fi. “Together, we’re making it easier for more people to travel with their dogs, while bringing an added layer of safety, community and peace of mind to every adventure.”

Fi Mini, the world’s smallest and lightest GPS and health tracker, attaches to any existing collar or harness, making it a seamless solution for dogs of all sizes. The device tracks daily activity and strain and lets owners view a map of the routes they’ve explored together, from hiking trails to walks around camp. Owners can also set a Safe Zone around their accommodations and receive an alert if their dog leaves the designated area. If a dog goes missing, Fi’s real-time GPS tracking and Lost Mode provide more frequent location updates to help locate them, while AI-powered behavior insights allow owners to monitor barking and other behaviors.

Beyond safety, the partnership brings a social element to the guest experience through Fi’s activity leaderboards. Travelers can compare their dogs’ daily activity with other Fi members in their area and dogs of similar breeds, adding friendly competition to their outdoor adventures.

“At AutoCamp, we’re committed to making access to nature as seamless and stress-free as possible for every type of traveler, including those bringing their four-legged family members,” said Bryan Terzi, Chief Commercial Officer at AutoCamp. “Through our partnership with Fi, we’re excited to help guests enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of the great outdoors while providing added peace of mind that their pets are safe and accounted for.”

Guests can book AutoCamp’s VIP (Very Important Pet) Package at AutoCamp.com. Fi members will receive an exclusive 15% discount on AutoCamp stays directly through the Fi app.
