Campspot Releases "Best Cities for a Calm-Cation" Index with Top Destinations to Experience the #1 Camping Trend for 2024
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After years of 'revenge travel' spent checking off bucket list trips, recent research* by Campspot, the leading camping booking site and campground management platform, revealed a new desire for travelers to return to nature in 2024. A poll of almost 3,000 customers across North America indicated that one in three respondents felt stressed about the economy and nearly 70 percent craved a sense of calm during next year's trips. The solution? 'Calm-cations,' a type of camping trip that allows travelers to experience the modern amenities and resort-like features many campgrounds have to offer, particularly waterfront locations, crystalline skies with views, and even high-speed connectivity, the three factors research showed help campers feel the most relaxed.
- Proximity to Water & Themed Amenities: "Water-lust Wellness" destinations were scored by the number of local campgrounds near natural bodies of water.
- They were also scored by the number of nearby campgrounds that offer water amenities including waterfront, beach, and fishing availability.
- AQI Data and Dark Skies Proximity: "Clear Sky" destinations were scored by local public air quality index (AQI) data, as well as each destination's proximity to International Dark Sky Association designated parks.
