Hipcamp.com: Have you given it a try yet?

We were really up a creek when bad weather forced us to cancel Henry’s birthday party a couple weekends ago. I had booked the camping site six months in advance! Luckily, I found a back-up site the week before. But then the back-up site got canceled because of damage from storm Uri. With only two days notice, I needed a solution fast. Thankfully, hipcamp.com came to the rescue.

Hipcamp.com is like AirBnB for camping. You can use it for tent camping, glamping, treehouses, cabins, places to park your RV, etc.

With only two days notice, I was able to book a camping spot for four families. Phew!

Our particular experience was not nearly as nice as camping at a state park. It was beautiful, private land, but it was clear that lots of people go there to party. There was a common house that reeked of pot and general dinginess. Further, the protocol for checking in was very unclear and slightly uncomfortable.

However, I would absolutely use hipcamp.com again! It truly helped us out in a pinch. Plus, while I was searching on the site, I found other cool things, like a yoga studio in the woods. It would definitely help us experience some new adventures in the future.
