Do you like to sleep on the ground in a tent? If your answer is a resounding “no,” it may be a surprise to learn that according to a 2022 survey conducted by Dyrt, a subscription software for camping and the largest source of information for United States campgrounds, there are millions of Americans who disagree, and do enjoy spending a night with the crickets.
That is not anything new to Susan Brown who owns the Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors Campground in St. Clair, Missouri, and has several tent camping sites on her property. “Unless it is below 20 degrees, there is usually someone camping out there in a tent,” she says.
And nearly 36 million Americans choose an RV as a way to get outdoors.
