Well, that explains at least part of this. Most of the time it is families who tend to go out camping, and blacks have a lower amount of family units relative to whites due to their higher out of wedlock birthrates and of course divorce, which affects all races.
I guess that depends on where you live. Most of my black friends and acquaintances have numerous extended family that they see often. They’re not all far-flung like many of my white friends’ families are. Sunday dinners with several generations together, sisters traveling on girl tripos, shopping, lots of cousins to grow up with and play with. They all have a dozen aunties and uncles that were part of the close family. Before she retired, one of my coworkers didn’t pass a week without a family member stopping by to say hi (at work.) When I think of close families, I often think of the black families I know.
Naw, it’s because we spent a few hundred years “roughing it” in the outdoors and don’t feel particularly inclined to do it anymore. ;P
