After a year of steady momentum in 2023, the camping industry entered 2024 poised for even greater opportunities. With the groundwork laid by years of innovation and determination, campers continued to show an insatiable desire to explore the great outdoors, while campgrounds rose to the occasion with new ways to elevate the camping experience.
