Three Camping Trends for the Upcoming Decade

As the third decade of the millennium quickly approaches, the world of camping is undergoing a few important changes. Once thought of as a low-budget holiday option, camping has been embraced as an eco-friendly adventure for those who would like to immerse themselves in nature and improve their fitness in the process.

If you’re an adventure enthusiast looking to make the most of your outdoor getaways, we’ve put together a few camping trends you might want to get on board with in 2020:

1. An increasing taste for the wilderness

Many outdoor holiday-goers view camping as an escape from the distractions of digital technology so they can truly unwind. In this way, many campers tired of modern life are seeking out areas of wilderness where the WiFi cannot reach. If you’re looking to embrace a digital detox, do your research before setting out on your camping holiday. Look for areas without WiFi signals that are still within a reasonable distance of amenities if any emergencies arise.

2. A focus on going green

Although going camping is generally much better for the environment than booking a series of long-haul flights, there are still a number of ways that adventurers can improve their environmental credentials, including:

  • Cutting down on single-use plastic by making snacks and meals from scratch
  • Making sure that waste is properly disposed of
  • Buying camping gear marketed as eco-friendly. You could even rent out gear if you only camp a few times a year
  • Bringing reusable water bottles
  • Using rechargeable batteries in your gear

3. Easier use camping gear

Although self-inflating mats have been around for a while, outdoor retailers are coming up with bigger and better options for avid adventurers. Indeed, there is an increasing number of big and luxurious self-inflating mats on the market for families or those looking to indulge in gear that takes care of more than just the basic needs. What’s more, this trend goes beyond mats. Inflatable tents and more comfortable, more stylish gear are quickly hitting the shelves. In this way, 2020 may be the year to invest in some innovative new outdoor products.
