Going camping is one of the most-beloved activities in America. Indeed, few things compare to the experience of setting up a tent and campfire for a few days of roughing it in the wilderness.

And while a growing number of campers are choosing to incorporate some of their everyday luxuries into their camping experiences, whether it’s through staying in a cabin, an RV or even a yurt, they all have one thing in common — they’re getting closer to nature without modern-day distractions.

Why, then, is one of the most-desired camping amenities free access to WiFi?

In a recently-released survey published by Kampgrounds of America (KOA) that surveyed 3,000 campers, people desired free WiFi over such amenities like like safety lighting, cabins and even a campground store with food and equipment for sale, according to a March 20 Quartz article.

Free WiFi was valued as a high priority among 19% of the survey’s respondents as a camping concern, second only to whether or not a campground is “kid-friendly” — something that 20% of respondents valued. It did not, however, beat out “clean and well-maintained bathhouses/restrooms” as the most important and popular campground amenity, which 50% of respondents named as an important feature.

The need for free WiFi shouldn’t be all that surprising. The KOA survey found that 83% of campers bring their cellphones with them on camping trips; 70% of them go online at some point during their trips, whether it’s with their phones, computers or tablets. The majority of respondents said they go online to check their email or to upload pictures to social media.

“It appears that many campers are using social media to share their camping experiences during the experience versus waiting until they are home,” the survey stated.

For Rochesterians who want to camp at a site a WiFi hotspot, there’s the Canandaigua KOA campground in Farmington or the Southwoods RV Resort in Bergen.

Yet the majority of public campgrounds across Upstate New York still lack free WiFi access for campers — and currently, about 70% of all campers opt for public campgrounds. If you and your family are headed to the state parks at Letchworth or Stony Brook this summer, you’ll have to lead a WiFi-free existence for the duration of your camping experience.

It might be for the better. Quartz reported that unplugging from our mobile devices, even if only for a few days, has been linked to lowered stress levels, increased awareness of our surroundings, and stronger relationships with the people around us.
