Creative Ways to Pay Your Land Taxes

Here’s where Hipcamp can come in. We are a mission-driven marketplace where you can list, discover, and book campsites and accommodations on private and public land. Hipcampers are looking for anything from a scenic spot to pitch their tent, to planning a nature-filled getaway. Hipcamp is a go-to guide to getting outside. For landowners, such as farmers and ranchers, our platform creates new revenue streams for your business, which can support conserving your land and keeping it wild. By unlocking access and simplifying the camping experience, we’re democratizing and enhancing the experience of getting outside, inspiring more people to enjoy and protect our natural world.

As a landowner, you are living on your revenue. The output with Hipcamp will all be based on how much you want to input. Our campers are looking for a wide range of property types, and so, hosts can make a wide range, based on their offerings. Our most active hosts make over $6-12k per year hosting campers, and less active hosts can make a few thousand per year.

There are so many factors that determine your success as a host on Hipcamp. For starters, the number of listings you can offer, the location and characteristics of your land, and how active you want to be all affect your earnings. Hosts offering affordable tent camping (under $75/night) make the most on Hipcamp, while Hosts with unique structures—such as small cabins, tiny homes, Airstream trailers, treehouses, yurts, etc.—can earn regular income by hosting campers year-round.

Hipcamp properties range from two acres to thousands, from developed campgrounds to raw land, from rustic cabins to glamping tents, from working farms to remote forests. Campers can book primitive tent camping with no official “amenities,” to glamping setups with every modern comfort included.
