Xyst designed a survey and undertook face-to face interviews with 193 campers located at the Camping Hub or free camping sites using preset questions developed by Xyst and NCC. Questions focused on the
following six areas:
1. Demographics, origin and destination
2. Vehicle type and use of self-contained facilities
3. Use of accommodation other than freedom camping
4. Campers’ budget and level of expenditure
5. Satisfaction with facilities
6. Willingness to pay
Responses were recorded on a mobile device and submitted securely to Xyst’s survey tool Yardstick. A comprehensive report was prepared detailing the learning from the survey.
