          Campground Bookings Are Flat in 2025

          The 2025 camping season hasn’t delivered the growth many parks hoped for. Most U.S. campgrounds are reporting flat or even declining occupancy, especially in regions like the Rockies and High Plains. Booking windows have tightened dramatically, with more people waiting until the last minute to reserve.
