BILLINGS, Mont., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Compared to 2019, the proportion of first-time campers across the U.S. grew five-fold, while the number of households that own RVs grew by 2.6 million, according to the latest research from Kampgrounds of America s annual North American Camping Report. COVID-19 proved a key driver behind the influx of many camping attributes, including the 10.1 million households who camped for the first-time in 2020, of which one-third attributed trying camping due to the belief that it is a safe way to travel and desire to avoid crowds. More than 60% of these first-time campers plan to camp the same or more in the coming year; across all campers, families are the group most likely to spend more nights camping in 2021.

The camping industry had a good 2020. The spread of COVID-19 and resulting lockdown measures heavily disrupted international travel, while people sought to spend more time in the great outdoors. In a survey conducted last May, the North American Camping Report revealed that 46% of people in America thought camping was the safest way to travel during the pandemic, while a “staycation boom” in the UK saw camping sites record their busiest ever days over the course of the summer.
While vaccine rollout is proving successful and restrictions are being eased, international travel is unlikely to return to its pre-pandemic levels by Summer 2021 and, so far, camping’s popularity is set to continue. According to one report, campsites across the UK have reported a 500% increase year on year. To get ahead of the curve, here are 10 essentials to elevate your campground set up.

The global camping and caravanning market is expected to grow from $39.85 billion in 2020 to $45.07 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $56.6 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 6%.
