Going Global: Introducing Hipcamp Australia

Big news! Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve joined forces with Youcamp, the Australia-based land sharing community, to introduce Hipcamp Australia. Hipcamp and Youcamp share a common mission of inspiring more people to get outdoors and conserve our lands, so this has proved to be a perfect match. 

With this news, some 35,000 Australian campsites, glampsites, and cabins are now available to discover and book on Hipcamp! The Youcamp team is staying onboard to lead Hipcamp Australia and continue inspiring Australians to experience the healing benefits of the outdoors.

“It has been a joy working with the Youcamp team as we bring our communities together,” says Alyssa Ravasio, founder and CEO of Hipcamp. “They have created an incredible community, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to join forces and get more people outside together.” 

While this is an exciting moment, we require all hosts to adhere to all travel restrictions and do not encourage international travel at this time. Host and Hipcamper safety is the number one priority, and we still require adherence to our COVID-19 safety protocols already in place.

“Youcamp has grown from a small business to Australia’s leading hub of private land outdoor experiences, and today we couldn’t be more excited to unite with Hipcamp,” says Youcamp co-founder and Managing Director James Woodford. “Our new relationship is a natural marriage of the two companies, as we share a vision in helping landowners identify new sources of income while inspiring campers to conserve the special places on their land.” 

Hipcamp is the #1 app to find and book campsites, from national parks to blueberry farms. Hipcamp unifies the world’s best camping options across peaceful private spots, iconic public lands, and well-equipped campgrounds to create one app that has everywhere you want to camp. Hipcamp has grown into a community of over 7 million campers who use the app to explore all of their options in one place—tent sites, RV spots, or glamping—and find the perfect site to match their camping style. Each year, Hipcamp helps millions of campers sleep happily under the stars, boosting local economies and biodiversity along the way.
