“As a professional dog show handler, I live with dogs 24/7, and this extends to vacation plans. I bought a motorhome so we can always take the dogs on our adventures camping. Our next big adventure is driving from Washington to Texas to camp out and watch the April 8 solar eclipse!” The Dyrt camper, Karyn C. of Washington, said.
The report includes pets, with an 8% increase in bringing dogs camping. Although camping with cats remains less common, Washington’s camping community is 24% more inclined to include feline companions on their trips.
The Dyrt’s 2024 report also delves into camping trends across three West Coast states: Washington, Oregon, and California.
