Get ready for an adventure! The Dyrt, your trusted camping companion, has released its highly anticipated 2026 Camping Report, and it's packed with insights and trends that will shape the future of outdoor exploration.
The Rise of Camping: A Diverse Revolution
Imagine a diverse group of first-time campers, embracing the great outdoors in all its glory. That's the beautiful picture painted by The Dyrt's founder, Sarah Smith. With over 82.4 million campers recorded in 2025, it's clear that camping is experiencing a boom, attracting people from all walks of life and with various camping styles.
But here's where it gets controversial... RVs and trailers reign supreme, according to survey results. Over half of respondents prefer this camping style, but the challenge lies in securing a spot, as campgrounds are filling up fast.
Camping Etiquette: A Necessary Skill
As campsites become increasingly popular, Sarah Smith emphasizes the importance of camping etiquette. With competitive bookings, understanding the dos and don'ts of reservations and cancellations is crucial. The Dyrt's report explores these behaviors, shedding light on what it takes to secure that coveted first-come, first-served campsite.
And this is the part most people miss... The number of campers utilizing all their reservations has been on the rise, but short-notice cancellations and early departures are also increasing. It seems campers are becoming more aware of the demand and the need for proper planning.
The Power of Community: Shaping an Industry
The Dyrt's success story is a testament to the power of community. Kevin Long, The Dyrt's CEO, attributes their growth to the dedicated campers who make up The Dyrt Community. These campers share their experiences, providing valuable insights that help fellow adventurers find their perfect campsites. Their contributions don't stop there; they actively participate in surveys, shaping the annual report and, consequently, the entire camping industry.
Toyota Trucks: Adventures and Memories
Toyota has partnered with The Dyrt for the third year in a row, bringing real-life stories from Toyota Adventure Detourists. These drivers share their favorite camping memories, traditions, and spots they've reached in their Tacomas, Tundras, and more. When asked about their favorite camping memories, the most common response from Toyota drivers was, quite simply, "All of them."
