Hopefully, the following is an indication of good parenting by the baby boomer generation. Well, somebody had to spark their interest!
A new study has found that millennials are choosing camping vacations whether it through tenting, cabins or RVs.
According to a Lonely Planet article:
When it comes to camping as a vacation option, under 30s in North America are helping to make the activity an area of growth.
This is one of the stand-out findings of the KOA 2019 North American Camping Report, which examined the behaviours and attitudes of campers. KOA, which stands for Kampgrounds of America, found that there has been an addition of an estimated seven million new camper households in the US since 2014, and the percentage who camp three or more times annually has increased by 72%. The survey found a shift away from seniors and towards younger people embracing the activity, as 77% of campers in 2018 were millennials or Gen Xers.
While options for camping have become far more luxurious these days compared with previous years, 59% of campers use a tent, 24% live it up in an RV of some type, and 16% camp in cabins.
