Camping On Farms Grows In Popularity For 5th Consecutive Year

The Dyrt, a camping app with all of the public and private campgrounds, RV parks, and free camping locations in the United States, has found that farm camping is increasingly popular with campers. About one in seven campers (14.1%) reported camping on a farm in 2024, which is three times higher than the rate from just five years ago.

These statistics are from the newly released 2025 Camping Report Presented by Toyota Trucks, the most comprehensive look at the latest trends, topics and figures for the U.S. camping industry. The latest version of The Dyrt’s annual report is compiled from the results of surveys conducted with three groups — thousands of members of The Dyrt camper community, a representative sample of U.S. residents, and camping property managers across all 50 states.

Spacious farms are ideal for both primitive campsites and for accommodating camping vehicles. More than half of farm campers (51.4%) prefer RVs and trailers, compared to 45.1% for all campers, and 13.6% of farm campers prefer camper vans compared to 8.3% overall. The farm camping contingent is also very active in the winter, with 42.4% of farm campers braving the coldest months compared to just 28.5% for all campers. The percentage of farm campers who camp alone (36%) is also higher than the average (30.6%).
