Hipcamp

What It Is

Hipcamp is a booking platform dedicated to outdoor accommodation, connecting travelers with tent campsites, RV hookups, glamping structures, cabins, treehouses, and off-grid lodgings on both private land and public parks. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, Hipcamp has grown into the leading private-land camping marketplace in the United States.

Who It Serves and How to Connect

Hipcamp serves outdoor travellers — campers, glampers, van lifers, and nature-seekers — looking for unique stays beyond traditional hotels. Landowners, farmers, vineyard operators, and outdoor retreat hosts can list their sites on Hipcamp at no upfront cost, paying a commission only on confirmed bookings. The platform provides listing tools, guest messaging, and availability management suited to non-traditional hospitality operators.

Specialty and Reach

Hipcamp's inventory spans tent sites, RV parks, yurts, safari tents, treehouses, and fully equipped glamping cabins. The platform operates in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, and has more than 7 million registered campers. It is not a traditional hotel OTA and is best suited to outdoor hospitality operators — including glamping sites, eco-retreats, and rural properties with unique outdoor stays — rather than conventional hotels or urban accommodation.
