New Campspot Survey Confirms Desire for Slower Living Among Continued Search for Calm in 2024
|
Grand Rapids, MI – July 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: In the whirlwind of 2024 and amidst a record-setting busy travel season, one message from campers is coming through loud and clear: “We want OUT!” Campspot, the leading booking site for private campgrounds, found this out via a recent survey, which revealed that nearly three quarters (72%) of campers are feeling somewhat or very stressed about economic uncertainty this year, with 94% reporting they feel it’s crucial to get a break from the everyday through camping.
 
Last year, Campspot predicted 2024 to be the Year of the Calm-Cation, and the recent data shows this to be true, with even more campers yearning for the calming effects of nature this summer.

New Campspot Survey Confirms Desire for Slower Living Among Continued Search for Calm in 2024
|
“Our ‘Summer Slowdown’ survey confirms a growing trend—travelers are increasingly seeking a break from the hustle,” said Erin Stender, CMO of Campspot. “Camping has evolved beyond tents and s’mores; it now frequently serves as a powerful remedy for our stressed-out souls.”
 
While adventure and new experiences were top priorities for travelers last year, this summer’s survey shows that a “sense of calm and relaxation” (70%) and “a break from the everyday routine” (66%) have taken precedence. 90% of recent respondents expressed concerns about shrinkflation, with the vast majority admitting it has affected their overall travel plans this year. Significantly, 98% of campers also report that camping positively impacts their mental health, with 90% feeling happier when camping compared to other types of trips. In fact, 86% of campers admit they would prefer a week of free camping over a week at a luxury spa.

“Our data shows that this trend has been steadily gaining momentum since last year,” said Stender. “And Campspot’s goal is to create more opportunities for everyone to experience the restorative power of camping firsthand.”
