Holidays spent camping promote both environmental friendliness and happiness
In a study conducted by the Deutscher Caravaning Handels-Verband (DCHV) in 2022, involving 4,000 caravaners, it was found that a significant majority of campers reported higher levels of well-being compared to the general population.
The study, titled "Caravaning and Well-being," revealed that 79% of campers described themselves as "happy and cheerful," compared to 69% of the general population. Moreover, 75% of campers agreed with the statement "I am happy," compared to 64% of the rest of the respondents. An even more striking difference was observed when it came to the statement "My daily life is full of things that interest me," with 75% of campers agreeing, compared to 63% of the general population.
