Are you exploring your options to invest within the leisure industry? You may want to consider the benefits of purchasing a family-oriented campground or an RV franchise. Whether campers choose to stay in a cabin, a tent, or in their RV, camping is a popular activity and will continue to be so.
Currently, nearly 6 out of every 10 households in the United States have reported that at least 1 person within their household goes camping. Given this, there are several advantages to owning a family-friendly campground.
Approximately 63% of campers 16 and older are either married or living with a partner. Many of these campers have children of all ages, and value having access to “kid-friendly” campsites with activities that the entire family can enjoy. A Kampgrounds of America study, for example, found that 20% of the participating campers indicated they valued staying at a campground that showed consideration for children.
Many campers are willing to travel a considerable distance to a favorite campground. This is particularly the case when these campgrounds have important amenities, such as RV hook-ups and organized activities. Around 50% of campers, however, will usually travel less than 100 miles from their homes.
Even though they go camping to enjoy the outdoors, many campers appreciate having free WiFi access during their vacation. A large percentage of campers also enjoy cooking outdoors when they’re camping, and this pertains to roughly 78% of the campers polled.
