Another contributing factor is the rapid growth of offroad capable campers like some of the popup style truck campers and rugged trailers. They allow you to go almost anywhere a Jeep can go, sometimes providing as much solitude as backpacking. I like to think this particular subgroup is more environmentally conscientious than the general vehicle camping crowd.

It's like they took every bad habit they could find from the '00s Landrover enthusiast crowd and unironically cranked it to 11 Frankly I like the car-camping crowd better because they don't tend to stray far from the road.
