Recent research into camping by both the National Park Service and Kampgrounds of America shows that both tent and recreational vehicle (RV) camping is on the rise. The summer of 2020 saw a record number of campers, many of them new to camping, hitting the state parks as well as privately owned campsites. That number is expected to continue to grow in 2021.
Tents and RVs provide personal space and cleanliness that can be controlled by the traveler, unlike a hotel room. Also, spending time outdoors is a healthier way to use leisure time, and a nice break from all the time spent inside during the pandemic. Leisure time is also on the rise with more people working from home.

Many public parks and private campgrounds are expanding spaces for both RVs and tent camping, with each offering different types of experiences. Of all campground offerings, 53% are provided by the private sector. While the National Park Service’s recently completed Campground Industry Analysis shows a need for more campsite on public land, the private sector has been able to meet the demand faster.
Not that many years ago, campsite offerings in Middle Tennessee were few, and often poorly maintained. But even before the pandemic, interest in camping was growing. Now there are more than 50 state parks, and more than 30 private campgrounds.
