The global camping and caravanning market size was estimated at USD 66.37 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 143.93 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2026 to 2033. The rebound in nature-based tourism is driving increased demand for camping and caravanning, supported by record visitation to public parks and outdoor destinations.
In the U.S., national parks recorded unprecedented recreation visits in 2024, reflecting a stronger preference for domestic, outdoor, and overnight travel.
Similarly, in the European Union, camping grounds and RV parks accounted for a meaningful share of tourist accommodation nights, highlighting a shift away from traditional hotel stays. These trends underscore growing consumer interest in self-contained, flexible travel experiences close to nature, creating opportunities for campground and RV park operators to expand infrastructure, enhance on-site services, and adopt integrated reservation and access systems to meet rising demand.
The camping and caravanning industry is no longer seen only as a low-cost travel option. For many consumers, it has become a preferred travel style that offers control over travel plans, privacy, and closer contact with nature. There has been an increasing demand for caravan rentals, RVs, campervans, and organized campsites with basic facilities. Including renters, there are 30 million RV aficionados. There is also a growing section of travelers interested in off-road or remote camping. This is especially prevalent among younger and adventure-focused users.
In addition, travel duration has become more varied than in the past. Short breaks of two to four nights are common, especially for people living in cities who use camping for weekend trips. At the same time, longer stays of one week or more continue to attract retirees, remote workers, and travelers who prefer slower journeys. According to statistics, almost 2.5 million people invested in RVs during COVID-19.
Several patterns are currently influencing how individuals journey within this segment. Eco-friendliness is turning into a requirement, particularly in Europe and other established markets. Campsite operators and vehicle suppliers are incorporating environmentally friendly approaches to satisfy this demand. Luxury camping choices and glamping are increasingly favored by families and those camping for the first time. In addition, technology plays a role with mobile applications utilized for planning routes, making reservations, and locating campsites. Another growing trend is flexible travel linked to remote work, where people combine work and travel for longer periods.
