Hipcamp review

Hipcamp covers a gap the other sites on this list leave open: nights outdoors. It describes itself as the app to discover and book tent campsites, RV resorts, glamping and private land camping in the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, with hosts ranging from blueberry farms to land near national parks. You can browse by state, city or national park, such as Yosemite, Arches or Yellowstone, and glamping listings let you skip carrying a tent. Its terms say Hipcamp may charge service fees to campers, and that service fees are non-refundable unless its terms, cancellation policy or the booking say otherwise, so read the listing before paying. Coverage is limited to four countries, and many sites have few facilities. If your idea of an Airbnb alternative is a glamping tent on a farm or a tent spot near a park entrance, Hipcamp is the specialist to search.
