Coronavirus has wreaked havoc over the past year, infecting 107 million people and killing 2.3 million worldwide – with 27.1 million of those cases and 468,000 of the deaths coming from the United States. By any measure, things have been disrupted.
How COVID-19 will ultimately affect 2021 is unknown. But a few things are evident. COVID-19 fatigue is real. People are ready to get out and on the move. And for more than 50 million Americans, that likely means a camping trip.
Camping – be it via a tent in the backcountry or a hard-sided camper parked in a full-facility campsite that mirrors many comforts of home – is a relatively pandemic friendly activity.
