Using a scale of 1 to 7, where a 1 means not at all associated with camping and a 7 means very much associated with camping, Americans were asked about traits that are most closely associated with camping. Other campers and overcrowding are cited as the least favorite aspect by 10 percent. Interestingly, nine percent said having to go home is what they like least. Ten percent ranked participating in various other outdoor activities such as boating, hiking and fishing as their favorite. The good news is, campers can enjoy all of their favorite things simultaneously, Phillips said.
