RV & Camper Van Rental in the US Industry Data and Analysis
The RV and camper van rental industry is experiencing downward pressure after a peak in RV usage in 2022. The latest Kampgrounds Of America report indicates a drop in RV usage numbers from 15.2 million households in 2022 to just 10.0 million in 2024. Market saturation results in heightened competition among rental providers across various travel formats. High maintenance and insurance costs, as well as struggles to fill off-peak occupancy, are impacting cashflow and contingency planning. In response, leaders in rental provision are employing revised dynamic pricing models, data-driven revenue management and increased market segmentation to target specific demands and foster year-round loyalty. Industry revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 3.7% to reach $942.6 million through the end of 2025, despite an estimated 0.6% drop in 2025 alone. The surge in popularity of camping and RV usage in 2021 and 2022, in particular, drives industry growth through the five years to 2025, outweighing recent troubles.
