In this episode of Outdoor Hospitality Weekly, we dive into the complex economics of campgrounds and explore the opportunities that exist in different regions across the U.S. With over 15,000 public parks and a diverse mix of tent and RV camping, is there room for growth? We examine the distribution of public versus private campsites and discuss why regions like the South and West are booming, while the Northeast remains underdeveloped.

We also tackle the challenge of declining camper nights and retail registrations and explore how shifts in camping trends—from tent camping to RVs and cabins—are impacting the industry. Join us as we break down the numbers and trends shaping the future of campgrounds in this first part of a two-part series on the economics of outdoor hospitality.
