As the price of fuel continues to head for the moon, driving the car, SUV, or RV to a faraway campground becomes less appealing. So don’t leave home—just get out of the house.
Camping has always been a traditional pastime in the United States, but according to a recent study commissioned by the state of Wisconsin, it’s now more popular than ever. A whopping 48 million households went camping in 2020—an increase of 6 million from 2019. Camping takes many forms, from backpacking to staying in million-dollar RVs, but the one thing they all have in common is spending time someplace away from home, enjoying the views and new experiences. However, with fuel prices currently significantly higher than those of a year ago, driving a car, much less a gas- or diesel-guzzling RV, almost any distance dampens the appeal of discovering distant and exotic campgrounds. We offer a possible solution: Stay home.
