One industry millennials aren’t killing: Camping - Curbed
Whether it’s because they spend too much on avocado toast to afford real estate or not enough on American cheese and threatening the pantry staple, millennials have been the scapegoat for “killing” a plethora of industries. A new report, however, shows that there’s one industry that millennials are, in fact, boosting: The camping industry.
The 2019 North American Camping Report is an annual independent study supported by KOA, or Kampgrounds of America, Inc. As the world’s largest system of open-to-the-public campgrounds, KOA consists of more than 500 campgrounds in almost every state and in many Canadian provinces. We recently met up with KOA at RVX, the new RV Industry Association trade show, and toured its vision for the campground of the future.
But in many ways, the 2019 report shows that the future of camping is already here. The report tells us that camping is more popular than ever, fueled by a more diverse, younger (read: millennial) population that wants to get outside and explore in new ways.
