I love Hipcamp so much

Pros:

Amazing campsites and hosts. Booking experience is great. I’ve gotten more nature in my life because of Hipcamp

Cons:

Before, I would have liked to have an app - now I’m pumped it’s here!

Wooot! Thank you so much Andrea!!

I started camping when I was 2 months old and went camping every summer for 22 years with my family. When I started working more, I stopped camping and it was really bad for my mental health. I am so grateful for Hipcamp, because now I can easily book nature getaways. I’m literally going to camp on a sheep farm this weekend to de-stress and unplug, and I wouldn’t be able to do that without this company.

Cool idea. Totally thought this was going to be a Basecamp/Hipchat combo
Alyssa Ravasio
@msitver haha -- thanks! Our goal is to get you outside.

Congratulations on the app! The more people who use Hipcamp the better the world will be. This is an especially good fit for the startup / tech community who can organize camping quickly and easily so we can spend more time relaxing, daydreaming and connecting with our friends.

The idea and presentation of Hipcamp is great. But... the way they slug campers with a massive fee (up to 25% per night!!!) is nothing short of highway robbery. I will use this service from time to time, however, due to their money grabbing M-O, I will avoid using where possible. I have met other campers who feel the same way. Unfortunately, Hipcamp has all benefits for the hosts and sucks the campers dry. This is (currently) an underhanded approach, as they are cornering the market by attracting hosts with free advertising and a small cut for the host's insurance, and then reap huge takings from the humble campers. I sincerely hope that Hipcamp will consider offering a fairer deal.

Have had so many amazing experiences on Hipcamps (it’s my favorite way to get away from the crowds and go camping). Congrats to everybody on the team for the app launch!

I've been using Hipcamp since it's beginning five years ago. Two thumbs up for all they are doing to reconnect humans with nature.

Pros:

I love that by camping in cool places I help to save ranches, family farms and coastal properties from development and even fracking!!!

Cons:

I'd like to see a focus on keeping some affordable campsites.
