Camping is a popular outdoor recreational activity that allows people to connect with nature and spend quality time with family and friends. According to a report by the Outdoor Industry Association, in 2020, the camping industry saw a significant increase in participation, with a total of 40 million campers in the United States alone (Source: “Camping Participation Study” by Outdoor Industry Association, 2020). In fact, camping has been shown to have numerous mental and physical health benefits, including reduced stress levels, improved sleep quality, and increased physical activity.

A study published in the Journal of Leisure Research found that campers experienced a significant decrease in cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress… after spending time in a camping environment (Source: “The Relaxation Response: A Study of the Physiological and Psychological Effects of Camping” by Journal of Leisure Research, 2018). Overall, “camping is a fun and rewarding activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels.” Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a beginner, there are many national parks and campgrounds across the country that offer a range of camping options… from backcountry camping to RV resorts.

In The News:

“We love it, we go you know at last once a month, try to go almost every week,” said Dayne Porter, a camper from Omaha. “We got dogs too, they’re not here but they love camping. We actually took a big trip for our honeymoon and were gone for two weeks. Went to Yellowstone and camped, tent camp and stuff, every sense that we’ve been in love.”

Porter said his favorite part of camping is the fire, and when going camping; expect the unexpected. Camping is all about comfort. Most use a camper, and those that pitch a tent would use an air mattress to avoid sleeping on the ground. Some campers use the activity to spend time with family.
