How Choosing to Camp Can Make the Difference: Check Out the Benefits of Camping!

In a world full of technology, large workloads, and infinite societal pressures, taking a break seems near impossible at times. We collectively feel the constant need to perform in modern day society. We often disconnect from reality by streaming our favorite shows and doom scrolling on our phones, which has only made us disconnect from one another.

Benefits of Camping

With loneliness and depression at an all-time high, it’s important to make a continued effort to connect with loved ones and step away from technology when possible, camping being excellent way to achieve that. Take a look at some of the benefits of camping in a new or used RV below!

Benefits of Camping

Sheffield Hallam University performed a study in 2022 with 11,000 camping and non-camping participants. Here are some of the findings from that study, the Outjoyment Report:

  • 97% of campers said they started camping, because finding happiness was their top motivator
  • 48% of these campers said to have felt some form of happiness daily compared to the 35% of non-campers
  • 93% say they enjoy an overall better wellbeing (85% increase since 2011)
  • 44% feel as if they have optimal mental health (this number increases with how often a person camps) compared to the 31% non campers
  • 88% of campers say they feel overall less stressed
