Hipcamp, the resource for outdoor stays, announced it is joining forces with Youcamp, the Australian-based land-sharing community, under one domain.
This marks Hipcamp’s foray into an international market, acquiring Youcamp’s existing 1,000 properties representing 50,000 Australian campsites. Hipcamp also announced further international expansion in Canada, starting with access to a growing number of Canadian host sites that are now live.
With this acquisition, Youcampers now have access to Hipcamp’s platform, which includes a booking process and safety policies, all while supporting the annual income of hosts. Hipcamp Australia will be led by the same Youcamp team with nearly seven years of inspiring customers to experience the benefits of the outdoors.
“It has been a joy working with the Youcamp team as we bring our communities together,” said 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.”
“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,” said 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 hosts over 420,000 campsite listings including glamping, RV’s, tiny houses, yurts, and beyond on public and private lands in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
