The August 2024 MC Camper Compass report, Keeping Calm and Camping On: Navigating Post-Election Travel Concerns for Outdoor Hospitality, explores how the upcoming U.S. presidential election is impacting fall and winter camping plans. Using data from Cairn Consulting Group, it reveals that one-quarter of campers are delaying or canceling trips due to financial and safety concerns, with tent campers, glampers, and families most affected.
The report suggests campground owners focus on safety, flexible booking policies, and post-election promotions to maintain steady visitation during this uncertain period.
