Abstract: Based on the camping sites in the Yellow River Basin published by Amap, this study examines the spatial distribution pattern of camping sites using various indices, including the average nearest neighbor index, geographical concentration index, disequilibrium index, and kernel density estimation. The research findings are as follows: (1) Camping sites exhibit a highly significant agglomeration distribution, and the spatial scale presents a non-equilibrium characteristic of “east dense west sparse”. The distribution density of camping sites shows clear hot and cold spots, forming a general pattern of “one belt, one mass, two points”. The locations of these camping sites commonly follow the rule of “backing mountains, along roads, and accompanied by scenery”. (2) The spatial distribution of camping sites is influenced by both natural factors, such as elevation and air quality, and social factors, such as highway mileage and the number of high-level scenic spots. The impact of social factors is found to be more substantial than that of natural environmental factors.
