Solo female camping is exploding in 2026. Roam Resource calls it one of the fastest-growing travel trends of the year. Women are renting gear, driving themselves out to the woods, and sleeping under the stars without asking anybody's permission.
Memorial Day weekend is coming. If you've been thinking about it, this is your sign.
Why public campgrounds feel sketchy
State parks and KOAs are fine for families. For a woman alone, they can feel exposed. Shared bathhouses. Strangers walking past your tent at 2 a.m. Sites packed in shoulder-to-shoulder so you hear every conversation two spots over.
That's not a retreat. That's a hotel lobby with mosquitoes.
What private land changes
At Skyline, the site is yours. Nobody else books in on top of you. The gate is private. The neighbors are trees. You know who's on the land because you are the only one on the land.
We've got a fire ring, picnic table, solar lights, and an outdoor shower house. You don't have to rough it harder than you want to.
Safety tips that actually help
Tell someone your plan. Share your location with a friend. Keep your keys and a flashlight by your head while you sleep. A whistle is cheaper than pepper spray and works in more situations.
You don't need to be brave. You just need to be prepared. Most women who do this once end up doing it again.
See you at skyline.
