Hipcamp, the leading app for discovering and booking outdoor stays, has announced a major milestone—doubling its U.S. inventory to over 500,000 campsites. This expansion makes Hipcamp the largest catalog of campgrounds, RV parks, and unique camping experiences ever compiled, all available through a single platform. Known initially for providing access to private land camping on farms and ranches, the app now includes a comprehensive array of camping options nationwide.
With this growth, Hipcamp becomes the first and only platform to consolidate every type of campsite—from national parks to family-owned blueberry farms—into one seamless booking experience.
The announcement comes at a critical time for the outdoor travel industry, just as the summer travel season ramps up. Over the past ten years, the number of active campers in the U.S. has surged by 68%, yet the total number of campgrounds has not kept pace. In 2024, 56% of campers reported difficulties in booking sites due to overcrowding. Compounding the issue, national park budget cuts and layoffs have placed over 4,000 campsites in California at risk of closure this summer.
“Our campers’ top request has always been for more options that match their unique camping styles,” said Alyssa Ravasio, CEO and Founder of Hipcamp. “As our community expands across generations—from Gen Z to retirees—the need to simplify the search process for the ideal campsite is more pressing than ever. Since day one, our goal at Hipcamp has been to make all camping possibilities visible and personalized in one app. Thanks to AI, we’re now able to bring that vision to life and build the future of camping.”
This development highlights Hipcamp’s dedication to its mission of increasing outdoor access. By bringing together all varieties of campsites in one place, Hipcamp is not only addressing a supply-demand gap but also redefining what camping can be. Whether users are in search of a traditional tent site in a national forest, a coastal RV park ideal for families, or a luxurious treehouse retreat, Hipcamp’s expanded offerings make it easier than ever to discover and book the perfect outdoor stay with photos, reviews, and customization all in one app.
