Answer: A) To show a contrast.

Explanation: In the given sentence we can see that "even though" (which means "despite the fact that") is used to create contrast between staying in hotels and family camping. It creates contrast in two aspects, the prices (when it says that family camping is cheaper than staying in hotels) and the popularity (when it says that despite being cheaper, family camping has lost popularity).
