    Over the past decade, camping has evolved from a simple outdoor pastime to encompass a wide range of hospitality offerings catering to preferences from rugged wilderness adventures to luxurious glamping retreats. This growth has positively impacted the outdoor hospitality industry and the economies in which it operates. ??In the past year, campers increased their average daily spending by $28 per camper per day on their trips. In all, campers spent about $49 billion in local communities. ?? 90% of campers are adjusting their trips based on the economy. Most are spending less on food and entertainment, staying closer to home, or driving instead of flying to destinations. ??? Eight in 10 campers shared that they planned to increase or keep their camping trip consistent, pointing to a healthy desire for outdoor travel. Read the report >>> https://lnkd.in/gDBpN_up

    In late 2023, Kampgrounds of America, Inc. developed the first accessibility in camping report to better understand and provide solutions to campers with physical or neurodivergent needs. This report, the ninth of our Camping & Outdoor Hospitality Report series, is a collaboration of 2023’s data and more recent findings from our Quarterly Research completed in 2024. ? The average camper with a disability spends about one more night camping than all other campers and is slightly more likely to take three or more camping trips annually. ?????? The incidence of self-identified neurodivergence among campers is around 30%. About half of all camping travel groups include someone who is considered neurodivergent, well above the rate observed among other types of leisure travelers. ?????? The use of technology is more prominent among campers with disabilities, including more than half (53%) who say that technology impacts their ability to camp more often.

    Over the past decade, the landscape of camping and outdoor hospitality has evolved with new technologies, innovation, and market entrants with different travel goals. Our Campground Modernization study, part of KOA's 10-part Camping & Outdoor Hospitality Report, takes a holistic look into these changes shaping the present and future of our industry. ?? Modern campers express interest in a variety of camping accommodations, leading to a rise in diverse campground offerings. If money were not an obstacle, most campers (51%) would prefer glamping. ?? Wi-Fi, once an optional utility, is the most important amenity for many campers, with 48% sharing it, which is very important when choosing a campground. ?? Almost half of campers (46%) are using AI to assist with trip planning. Gen Z (68%) and millennials (59%) are the most likely to have used AI for camping. ?? Nearly one-fourth of campers own an EV (24%), compared to only 4% of non-camping leisure travelers. Four out of 10 EV-owning campers say they are more likely to camp at campgrounds that offer charging stations. Read the report >>> https://lnkd.in/gxj7hu7D
