Recently went glamping and booked five different sites thru this platform. 4 out of the 5 hosts & sites were amazing!! The only host/site that I had and issue with the Hipcamp support team addressed very promptly and went ‘above and beyond’ to ensure the situation was handled. I will definitely be using this platform again in the future! 5 stars! I’ve already been recommending Hipcamp to friends.
Hipcamp interface makes finding the perfect camping spot a breeze. I love how it offers comprehensive information on campgrounds, including reviews from real campers, photos, and detailed amenities. Whether you're a seasoned camper or a novice looking for your first outdoor adventure, This app is a must-have tool for planning your trips. Highly recommended!"
I love the premise. A serious wish list item for the app is a link back to a hosts listing / property within the messages section. When looking for a prospect destination and messaging 4-5 people at once it’s easy to lose track of who’s property belongs to who in the replies as messages aren’t connected to their profiles.
A great idea for an app and very useful for choosing campsites!
After booking, Superhog a third party verifying ID, gets all your information and asks you to pay a non-refundable $21 to wave your $300 security deposit or you pay $300 security deposit and they will deduct $9 anyways.
This means no matter what you have to pay an amount just because. I booked a lodging for $77/night as posted but I realized I am paying $150/night (almost double) with all added costs here and there.
I cancelled yet paid $32 again just because using this app. This type of entrepreneurship used to have another name in the Wild West era. Very disappointed…
Being a Hipcamp Host has allowed us to meet so many friendly, polite and nature-interested people. A wide array of campers from every walk of life with interesting stories and insights. I would recommend being a Host to those with a bit of land (doesn’t have to be fancy or serviced) and who enjoy meting people with interests similar to their own. As the season slows down I can honestly say our first year of Hosting has been a really great experience. So many interesting people from all over the world have stayed. Everyone has been respectful of the property, friendly, polite and each with their own engaging story of where they are from and where they are going. So looking forward to next year and hopefully seeing some familiar tents, trailers, RV’s, etc. returning.
Perfect! Like the app
Amazing app!
My partner and I booked a place using Hipcamp in August 2023. We had zero luck in contacting the host. He responded to our review 7months later. We contacted Hipcamp for support with zero response. Won’t recommend this site to anyone.
I reserved a spot a couple months ago. Drove 6 hours from home to provided waypoint, as spot is off grid and had no address. We waited but host never showed. After driving back to civilization and cell service and contacting host, he made a multitude of excuses (my gps must have been wrong, I should have been smart enough to drive PAST waypoint, ect.) I then contacted Hipcamp and was informed that they can’t refund money without host’s approval. Although they did give me a $25 credit voucher. I did write a bad review on campsite page, but looking at page now, the host still has 100% approval rating?!? With one good and one bad review.
So, if you use this app and have a good host who shows up, that’s great. But if not, kiss your money goodbye. You will have no recourse and host will not even receive a lowered approval rating.
