PORTLAND, Ore., April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for
camping availability, photos and reviews, found that campers worked
from the campsite more than ever in 2023. Results published in The
Dyrt's 2024 Camping Report presented by The All-New Toyota
Tacoma indicate that 28.9% of campers worked while camping last
year.
That number is up from 23.8% in 2022 and 2021, despite many
workplaces encouraging remote employees to report to the office.
The technology has advanced with both devices and internet
connectivity to a point where one can work from a campsite with the
same capabilities they would have at the office. And once people
got a taste of that, they wanted more.
"Work-from-campsite is here to stay," says The Dyrt founder
Sarah Smith. "I wasn't surprised to
see the portion of campers getting in some work stay level from
2021 to 2022, but to see that the number increased last year is
incredible. There are a lot of people out there who aren't too keen
on going back to the office but are also tired of working from
home. Where better than a campsite?"
The most important necessity for people who want to work from
the campsite is solid Wi-Fi. Private campgrounds are plenty aware
of this, as 76.6% of them offer Wi-Fi. It's the No. 1 most commonly
offered amenity at campgrounds across the country.
"I work while I'm camping because it's the easiest way to make
sure that I'm outside camping!" says The Dyrt camper Kevin O. of
Oregon. "Typically, there are
fewer campers during the workweek, and my career only stipulates
the requirement of a decent-enough internet connection. I've worked
while camping in winter and summer, and my ideal workday usually
involves being able to watch my family have fun while I'm still
paying the bills."
Says The Dyrt camper P.J. of Missouri: "I think working bothers me less
when camping because I dictate the terms. There's something quite
liberating about setting your laptop up on a picnic table and
working outside."
