ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — A new report from the advocacy organization Center for Western Priorities shows occupied reservations for campsites on public lands increased by 39% during peak season from 2014 to 2020.
The Spectrum newspaper reports the West has seen the biggest increase out of all of the continental United States regions, with a 47% increase in camping reservations over the time span, with peak season occupancy jumping 20% from 2019 to 2020.
Campsites near or in Utah national parks were some of the most full out of all campsites in the state during summer 2019 and 2020.
