Spike in camping?

Last Saturday my family and I went to Campmor, a camping/sporting goods supplier in Paramus, NJ. I've been a customer for over 20 years. I have never seen the store as crowded with campers as it was last Saturday, and it looked like they were buying the kinds of gear one buys when you're just beginning to camp. (e.g. Tents, cooking gear). I'd take this as an indicator of a switch to lower-cost vacations.
