About Hipcamp
Hipcamp provides a platform for booking unique camping experiences, connecting campers with over 300,000 campgrounds, including traditional tent sites, RV parks, and glamping options like cabins and treehouses. Campers can search, book, and review these sites through the platform, which operates as a marketplace between landowners (hosts) and campers. Hipcamp generates revenue by charging service fees on bookings, taking a percentage from hosts and a service fee from campers. This dual-fee structure aligns the company's interests with both parties. Hipcamp aims to cater to a diverse clientele, including solo travelers, families, and pet owners, in the growing outdoor recreation and travel sector.
