SECTION 1
1O YEARS OF
TRANSFORMATION
Over the past decade, the camping and outdoor hospitality landscape has
undergone significant transformations. During this time, the number of overall
camping households increased by 23%, while active camping households surged
by an impressive 68%. This uptick in camping interest was further evidenced
by the dramatic growth in households who venture out three or more times (98%).
Demographically, campers have become younger (close to half of campers since
2022 are under the age of 35, compared to 30% in 2014) and more diverse compared
to 10 years ago (39% of campers are non-white versus 23% 10 years ago).
