RoverPass released the 2025 RoverPass Outdoor Hospitality Report, offering an analysis of camping, RVing, and glamping trends across the United States.
The report compiles booking data, seasonal travel patterns, and payment preferences from 2024, providing campground owners with insights to adapt to shifting consumer behavior.
The report is based on thousands of reservations processed nationwide, revealing trends in how travelers book and pay for stays.
Findings indicate a rise in direct bookings, increased demand for flexible payment options, and notable shifts in seasonal travel patterns. These insights aim to help campground operators optimize their offerings and maximize revenue.
“The way campers book and travel is constantly evolving, and campground owners need real data to stay ahead,” said Michelle Smith, CEO of RoverPass.
“This report breaks down key insights from 2024 and provides campgrounds with the knowledge they need to adjust, grow, and meet the expectations of today’s travelers,” she said.
Data from the report highlights the continued growth of direct bookings, as more travelers opt to reserve through official campground websites.
Regional travel patterns indicate varying peak seasons, with Midwest campgrounds experiencing the highest volume of bookings in the summer, while Southern destinations maintain steady demand throughout the year.
Payment preferences continue to evolve, with credit cards remaining the most commonly used method. However, alternative options like ACH payments are gaining traction as campgrounds expand their payment offerings to accommodate customer preferences.
The report also notes changes in campground development trends, with larger properties experiencing growth while smaller parks see a decline. For more information or to access the report, visit roverpass.com.
