National Camping Market Survey 1971 PDF Download

Other similar data include type and date of outdoor recreation equipment purchases (e.g., boats and recreational land vehicles, as well as sporting, hunting, fishing, scuba, and aircraft equipment). This file also contains variables on willingness to attend camping shows, perceived cost involved in camping, and proposed camping fee structures for public lands.
