Hipcamp: Camping, RVs & Cabins

Hipcamp: Camping, RVs & Cabins is a comprehensive camping booking app for travelers looking to secure distinctive outdoor stays across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. It works directly with private landowners to open up tent sites, RV spots, cabins, treehouses, and glamping retreats that are often missed by typical campground directories. With community-shared photos and reviews, this platform makes it easier to compare private campground reservations and choose a spot that fits the group's needs.

Finding Unique Campsites and RV Stays

Hipcamp's site finder goes beyond standard campgrounds by connecting travelers with private land, including farms, vineyards, animal rescue facilities, rural lakes, and coastal cabins. You can filter by cost, location, capacity, pet policies, bathroom amenities, showers, campfires, and Wi-Fi access, which helps narrow down the options quickly. The app also surfaces last-minute campsite availability and real-time open dates at popular national parks such as Yosemite, Zion, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Yellowstone, so spontaneous campers can still plan a meaningful outdoor escape.

Booking Tools and Travel Planning

The map view is useful for road trips because it lets you spot lodging options along your route and check distances before booking. Once a reservation is made, the app stores directions and check-in procedures, and those details remain accessible even when you are offline. Travelers can also invite companions to view trip details, making it simpler to coordinate group camping plans from one shared itinerary without sending messages back and forth.

Hosting on Hipcamp

Landowners interested in earning extra income can create a listing for free in just a few minutes and set their own rules, pricing, and offerings. Hosts can block important dates, build their ideal hosting schedule, and receive earnings through direct deposit or PayPal each week. Anyone with a suitable piece of land and access to the outdoors can get started, while Hipcamp keeps the booking process straightforward for property owners.

Optional Weather Protection and Trip Management

For travelers who want more certainty, Hipcamp offers an optional Weather Guarantee through Sensible Weather during checkout. This add-on can reimburse up to 100 percent of the daily cost of a stay when forecasted precipitation or high temperatures exceed the terms selected at purchase, with no cancellation or claim paperwork required. After booking, the app also supports date modifications and direct host messaging, which means plan changes can be handled without leaving the app.
