Hipcamp: Camping, RVs & Cabins

... is that moment sometime after you’ve gotten to your site when you realize that you’ve got everything you need. You feel like you’ve arrived. You can settle in and connect with the people you came with and with the nature around you. Before arriving you might be worrying about if you’ve brought the right equipment, if you’re going to find a good spot. But after you arrive and you find you can relax, everything changes. You start to notice small details, like the smell of water or the signs of wildlife. The thing with Hipcamp is, you really feel like you can start relaxing and settling in before you’ve even made the journey to the campsite. With how easy it is to navigate the app, and how thoughtful each host is with sharing each detail about their location and with the quality of the photos, you can trust in the fact that the trip is going to go well. There is nothing to worry about. You get that feeling of having arrived just from using the app. This app is a really big deal for outdoorsy people. 😘 Now you’re going to want to be the one organizing the next camping trip.

Hipcamp makes it incredibly easy to find unique outdoor experiences, with in-depth reviews and photos from an engaged camper community, passionate hosts who love sharing their land, and an intuitive platform for filtering, planning, and booking any size or type of adventure. So excited that it’s now all in an app that I can take with me when I head out, and plan with on the road. I love that you can book right in the app and keep track of upcoming and past trips on your account. Only on Hipcamp can you decide to tent camp in an empty alpine meadow one night, and spend a luxurious night in a cozy cabin above the ocean the next. There’s so much information on the website that is well organized in the app, making it simple to tailor your search — whether it’s last-minute or months in advance. And the amazing photos and descriptions mean that you end up wanting to go to every place you look at (thankfully there’s a handy saved list function). Get this app and go get outside!

I enjoy lots of different kinds of camping and can truly say Hipcamp is for any type of camper, period. Tent, backpacker, RV, vanlife, roadtripper, glamper, cabin… Even if you’ve never been camping and are curious, start here! The community will welcome you with open arms. Not only can you search, filter, save and explore campsites across the US, you can BOOK through Hipcamp! They list all public campground options so you don’t have to go to five different websites to know you’re getting the best place to camp… and the real draw is the unique experiences you’ll find camping on private land that’s only listed on Hipcamp. I’ve been to many Hipcamps over the years and have returned to some 3+ times now. There are so many positive facets to Hipcamp, it’s hard to even know where to start so… just start! Hipcamp is a true mission and values-led company that I am proud to support. I know that every time I pay to book a Hipcamp site, it’s helping private landowners keep their land undeveloped, and open for people to discover and explore. The stories and knowledge the landowners share about their land is priceless. I could go on and on… But just recommend you download the app, get exploring, and get more people outside! Their Journal is pretty sweet, too. :) You’ll love it!

I love this app because it has a lot of amazing and great hosts for sites, but when you’re going through the list of campsites and click “load more campsites” it takes you aaaalllll the way to the top of the list again, where you then have to scroll back down through the ones you’ve seen as well as the new ones, then do it all over again when you want to see more. Kind of annoying when you have (supposedly) 713 campsites near you.. Perhaps a change of interface is in order. (Can confirm this happens on all of my friends devices as well, I thought my phone was just crappy (iphone 6s)) If this gets resolved, as it’s super annoying, then I will give this a 5 star review! The campsites really are gorgeous where I live.

I really WANT this app to work. I’m an avid Airbnb-er, both host and traveler. Seems like it should be easier to get a camping site to work. But I’ve had issues... - Default location. Each time I start a search, it shows me options in California. Even though I’m in Rhode Island. Even when I specify Rhode Islamd, it shows me CA choices. I need to scroll the map over to New England to make it work. Annoying. - Shifting searches. I frame the map on southern New England, click “re-search in this area” and it shows me results centered in NYC. Several tries later it finally sticks on my area. Irritating. - “No soup for you”. You have ten minutes to complete a booking request once you’ve started the process. Go past ten minutes and you start over. It doesn’t retain your credit card, your location, or even your dates. Back to square one. If you try to write a thoughtful request to your host and ten minutes elapses you’re out of luck. The timer isn’t even visible except at the very top of the page. Super frustrating. - No add-ons. My host provided a bundle of fire wood. He even built a fire to start and covered it with plastic because of intermittent rain. He normally charges $10 for this but there’s no way to pay through the app. That just seems silly. I keep coming back because I can’t find anything better. I’m shocked the app gets 4.8 stars. Maybe it’s just me.
