A recent report published by the Outdoor Foundation, in collaboration with The Coleman Company, Inc., shows that Americans are turning to the outdoors in increasing numbers. The report indicates a 7.4 percent increase in car and backyard camping last year alone!
What are the drivers behind the resurgence in camping? Current economic conditions are certainly motivating people to stay closer to home and seek out cheaper alternatives, such as tent camping. In addition, people are getting “back to the basics,” looking for recreational activities that are simple and help them reconnect with family and friends.
Parents getting their kids outside more is always a good thing.
