Bahar and Tatar (2017; 1282) start with an emphasis on the camping-related activities, “tourism industry, which has been founded on mass tourism for many years, has started to change with the developments in the 21st century, and considering the developing technology, changing economic conditions and consumer behaviors, it has been observed that mass tourism has started to take the place of more individual and nature-based alternative tourism types” In addition to these statements, the researchers emphasized the trend from mass to singular- specific, to alternative rather than general and especially nature (Çelik et al, 2017; O’Neill, Riscinto-Kozub & Hyfte, 2010). It was emphasized that the concepts of camp, camping and caravan are very old and that people have made this kind of life or travel for many years It has not been common for this trend to turn into a tourism form or to be expressed as a tourism type.
