<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLaid-Back Camp, an anime about high school girls enjoying camping has become popular with many fans because of its easy going pace, scenic settings, cute animation, and for showing viewers the pleasures of camping. The anime began airing in 2018 and has encouraged many of its fans to take up the outdoor hobby. Laid-Back Camp even released a few informative camping magazines introducing popular camping gear equipment, teaching readers how to camp safely, and how to follow campsite rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it seems as though not everyone was happy about the new addition of anime fan campers. Some campers who were fans of the pastime before it became trendy are excited about the impending decline of \u2018otaku\u2019 campers. Apparently, many of the new campers didn\u2019t have good manners, some of the complaints being that they were often loud, littered the campgrounds, and broke rules. One X user posted<\/a> about garbage that campers left behind: \u201cWith the recent camping and barbecue craze, I see people leaving garbage and used items behind and it makes me feel that people who cannot respect nature are not qualified to do these activities. Since when did people have such terrible manners\u2026 Don’t do it just because it’s a fad, and if you’re going to do it, a bare minimum of etiquette is necessary.\u201d Additionally, camping sites charging hotel ranged prices and popular outdoors gear continuously being sold out have also been reported, likely due to the hobby\u2019s increased popularity. Some campers are happy to see the activity\u2019s interest decline. Another user commented<\/a>, \u201cAs I thought, it\u2019s getting easier to get reservations. It\u2019s not the end of the camping boom, but it’s calming down a bit. I have nothing but excitement for the downfall. I want things to go back to how they were 10 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that popular camp-themed shows are declining in popularity, some fans have apparently lost their motivation to continue the hobby. One sign that tells of this is the influx of used camping gear and other outdoors equipment appearing in thrift stores. It\u2019s not uncommon for anime fans to take up the hobbies of their favorite characters. Similarly, earlier this year, there were many Bocchi the Rock fans who were inspired to learn the guitar just like the anime\u2019s protagonists. However, months later it seems as though many fans lost interest, abandoning their guitars (Related Article<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230807-20538-002.jpg\")
