Hipcamp
Hipcamp is a consumer booking marketplace for camping. It lists campsites, RV parks and resorts, cabins, treehouses, and glamping on public lands, at established campgrounds, and on private property such as farms and ranches.
Campers search by location and camping style, book with real-time availability, and can set free availability alerts to catch sold-out campsites. The site states there are no subscriptions, and describes a weather guarantee that automatically reimburses trip cost if it rains on a trip.
For property owners, Hipcamp runs a hosting program covering private land, campgrounds, and RV resorts, with pages on becoming a host, whether a piece of land is a fit, professional campgrounds, insurance, standards, and a hosting FAQ. The marketplace lists over 500,000 campsites in total, including over 120,000 sites it says are not listed anywhere else.
Only the consumer landing page was reviewed here. Host commission, payout terms, insurance coverage, and the standards a listing must meet should be confirmed on the hosting pages before listing a park.
