Special Report on Camping 2011: Analysis on Buying Behavior

According to the Special Report on Camping 2011, the state of the economy affects whether Americans participate in camping. Forty-five percent of campers say that the economy impacts how often they participate in outdoor activities. In addition, more than half of camping participants are employed. In general, camping participants spend slightly more on sports and recreation than non-participants. 

- Younger campers are most likely to buy backpacks, while older campers are most likely to buy propane lighting. Frequent campers (camping more than 12 times per year) buy the most products.
- Despite America’s still uncertain economy, sixty-one percent of campers say they spend about the same amount of money on recreation as they did the previous year. Thirty-four percent say they spent considerably less or put off some spending.
- Most new and replacement camping purchases are planned at home before taking a camping trip.
