RVing: A $25 billion industry?!?!

Today, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released updated statistics that measure the economy of outdoor recreation across the United States. The report showed that in 2021, the outdoor recreation economy accounted for 1.9% of the nation’s gross domestic product, or $454 billion.

RVing was ranked the second-largest conventional activity in the nation, coming in just behind boating and fishing. RVers contributed $25.1 billion in value to the economy, with $2.0 billion of that solely generated in California!

As the statistics for outdoor recreation continue to rise, thankfully the number of employees entering the outdoor workforce are increasing as well. In California alone, employment in the outdoor recreation industry increased by 13.1% which is a welcomed sign that things are looking up for our campgrounds who have been struggling to find sufficient staffing since the onset of the pandemic.

Further information and additional statistics can be found on the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ website.
