A new year brings on new adventure. RVing and camping is evolving year after year and this year travellers are taking a different approach. Instead of rushing out to check things off your bucket list, we're seeing campers take a slower, more meaningful and relaxed approach way of camping. This year's trends are showing people slowing down and appreciating time and what it means to camp and enjoy what nature has to offer. We've rounded up some of the top trends you'll see in 2024!
Calm-cation
A calm-cation is described as a vacation that provides a relaxed, tranquill, stress-free vibe. Surveys have suggested that this type of travel is overall more conducive to their mental health. Calm-cation is a more affordable way of travelling as it is typically closer to home and one with nature.
Gramping
It's likely you've heard the term "glamping", but have you heard the term "gramping"? Be on the lookout as gramping is the cutest new travel trend of the year. So, what is it? It's exactly how it sounds. Gramping also referred to as "skip-gen", allows for grandparents and grandkids to bond in an adventure together.
Wild Camping
This type of camping allows you to truly disconnect. There has been an increase in searches for "wild camping", where campers go so far off-grid, that cell phones and electronics become vurtually useless. It's a way to really and truly disengage from the world and focus on what nature has to offer.
Cold-Weather Camping
Who says camping is only meant for those warm summer months? Campers are looking to extend the camping season into the fall and winter months with a rising trend in cold-weather camping.
