Camping has gained significant popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2024, camping vacations continue to be highly sought after. Whether you're a seasoned camper or considering it for the first time, this blog shares the camping trends for 2024! Read on for more.

#1 Camping Remains Popular

In the United Kingdom, 1 in 5 adults went camping after the COVID-19 pandemic. Did you know that searches for keywords like 'camping' and 'campground' increased fivefold last year? Vacationing in one's own country, being closer to nature—these trends remain popular in 2024.
The increased popularity, however, leads to crowding during peak seasons and unfortunately, higher prices. Booking early is highly recommended.

#2 Energy Consumption at the Campsite

Skyrocketing energy bills in recent years have made energy consumption at campsites a significant consideration in 2024. Many campers express a preference for paying based on their own energy usage to provide transparency and avoid unnecessary costs. However, this poses a challenge for campgrounds, requiring investments in infrastructure. Campsites are increasingly in demand for solar panels, solar boilers, and other energy-neutral solutions.

#3 Sustainable Camping

Sustainability, a global concern, is also playing a larger role in camping. There's a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly and reusable materials and fabrics. Camping gear is increasingly finding a second life through resale. Small solar panels are gaining popularity among eco-conscious campers.

#4 Stylish Camping

Traditional camping furniture is being replaced by stylish yet practical alternatives inspired by interior design trends. The shift from indoor to outdoor living is evident, with camp products like those from Bo-Camp finding use not only at the campsite but also in gardens, on balconies, and inside homes. Bo-Camp's Urban Outdoor, Industrial, and Pastel collections incorporate home trends into camping furniture and accessories.

The Urban Outdoor collection features light grey and beige tones combined with bamboo.
The Industrial collection offers a rugged look with black steel frames and colors like green, dark blue, and clay.
The upcoming Pastel collection introduces light pastel tones and white wood-look for a different style, perfect for balconies or gardens.

 

   


#5 Electric Campers

Electric campers, slowly gaining traction in recent years, are becoming increasingly popular among campers. Improvements in battery technology extend the range, though this also means heavier batteries and campers. This risks surpassing the 3,500 kg weight limit for a standard B driving license. A request has been made at the European level to raise the weight limit to 4,250 kg, submitted by NKC, ECF (European Caravan Federation), and FICC (Federation Internationale de Camping et de Caravanning).
Cooking in your electric camper? Consider using Bo-Camp's induction cookware, such as the Tellefson Induction Frying Pan, Twist Induction Cookware Set, and Pettygrove Induction Whistling Kettle.
