Camping is a salient economic contributor to nature-based tourism that is also beholden to the natural environment. Climate resources are the combination of naturally occurring meteorological variables of empirically observable importance to firm performance. Tourism climatologist are at the forefront of climate resource research, where investigations have been primarily empirically derived rather than guided by theory. Accordingly, we introduce climate resources to the management discipline's resource-based theory, operationalizing climate resources as public goods in addition to other public goods like open access innovation. We investigate the value, rareness, and inimitability of climate resources at 36 managed United States National Park Service campgrounds from 1984 to 2019. Results spatially and temporally demonstrate (1) the value of climate resources to firm performance, (2) that climate resource value varies geographically, and (3) that climate resources are becoming rarer at lower latitude and altitude geographies. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are provided.

露营是自然旅游的重要经济贡献者，而自然旅游也受惠于自然环境。气候资源是自然发生的气象变量的组合，这些变量在经验上可观察到对公司绩效具有重要意义。旅游气候学家处于气候资源研究的前沿，调查主要是根据经验得出的，而不是由理论指导的。因此，我们将气候资源引入管理学科的资源基础理论，将气候资源作为公共产品，除了开放获取创新等其他公共产品之外。我们调查了 1984 年至 2019 年 36 个受管理的美国国家公园管理局露营地气候资源的价值、稀有性和不可模仿性。结果在空间和时间上表明：(1) 气候资源对企业绩效的价值，(2) 气候资源价值因地域而异，以及 (3) 气候资源在低纬度和高海拔地区变得越来越稀缺。提供了启示、局限性和未来的研究方向。
