Natural Resources Research Program: Summary of the 1988 Campground Receipt Study

Abstract

The Campground Receipt Study (CRS) was established to systematically collect information on visitor characteristics at Corps of Engineers fee campgrounds. This system has proved to be an efficient method of collecting trend data. Since the creation of the CRS there have been a great many changes in the study procedures, data collection form, and study sites. These changes have been described in previous reports. The main purpose of this report is to describe the 1988 data and the trends in camping use indicated by the CRS data collected from 1981 to 1988. The CRS data represent the best available nationwide sample of descriptive characteristics of visitors to Corps campgrounds. The data base can be used by all levels within the Corps to examine current use patterns and, with several years of data, to monitor and evaluate changes in visitor characteristics over time.
