Thanks -- your info was great -- I am a Hipcamp Host. Not all sites are great -- great sites are offered only if the host is very committed to offering good memories (as you experienced)...I appreciate your honesty about the noise pollution piece and that you knew it could be a problem due to the reviews. The review process is not manipulated by Hipcamp EVER. The Host has the power to draw a guest "in" but once someone stays as a guest they have the power to draw -- or dissuade those who follow. AND ask questions about any concerns early... you do not have to reserve to communicate with a host...if the host won't answer a question quickly and professionally before you "book" -- then beware and don't book with them. - Don't go by the review percentage. The site may have 100% but only 5 reviews - not a sure thing -- to new and untried - but if a host has 98% and 50+ reviews that give details about being positive impressions == then that is great.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Thanks for posting this from the perspective of a host. Great info.

I have stayed at hip camps all across the country. I love them everyone is different.

Yes, aren’t they great??? Love how it’s a different experience every time.

OMG!!! I’m so glad I found your channel!!! I’m planning to start solo camping out of my vehicle. Needing ideas and tips. You are feeding me some of the best ideas.

I've Hipcamped a couple of times so far, I love it! It's what you choose it to be, many different kinds of camps and something for everyone! I'm in the Northern Midwest and love to winter camp so they are perfect for me.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Couldn’t agree more! And most are reasonably priced. But unfortunately as with anything else, HipCamp owners are raising their prices. Love boondocking too when I can find those free spots.

[@buccastebbins6370]

I never heard of Hipcamp until today. Very informative video on how it works and what to look for. Thank you for this great video.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

They are fantastic and all over the globe. Hope you can try one out sometime!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Excellent video. You got me looking at hip camps in my neighborhood as well as South Carolina. My back yard was a 3 RV trailers but they were not zoned so it was discontinued when we bought this place. It would be a primitive location right on the High Falls State Park lake. Might check into having my own hip camp

[@MetroOnTheMove]

That would be cool!

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Thank you! I had a few audio issues due to the wind whipping around on top of that mountain but you can't do anything about that in the editing. Creator woes! Ha Ha! Yes I just love them! They are in other countries around the world too, not just the US. It really has caught on. If you ever do make your own hip camp on your land, let me send you a land owner link. Let me know if you stay in one in GA, there are so good ones down there. ~RVA~

[@atypicalhiker]

You have to provide a portapotty. My sister looked into it.

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

We love using Hipcamp, the last two holiday weekends it was so nice just to be able to go out hike and explore the mountains without having to worry about searching for a campsite in a state park or a primitive site on the side of the road. Hip camp is so awesome we use it at least a couple times a month. Thanks for your video it was great as always.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Glad to hear you love them too! They are a real game changer to have in your back pocket in case your camping plans fall through. And they generally pretty darn affordable not to mention a unique experience. Thanks for checking out this video my friend! ~RVA~

First thing that came to mind watching this video "This one time at HipCamp...". Another awesome video, I didn't know this was a thing and not only will I be checking it out for future campsites but I informed a friend who recently acquired some land so they can look into possibly setting up some sites!

[@comingofkym]

So glad I found this page.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

In this video? It's just a tarp I put out and connected to my car since it was so windy. I was trying to block out the wind noise for my audio. It's just a cheap one I bought at Walmart and it comes with 2 poles and you can stake down the back. But I do have an SUV tent that fits over the back hatch on my car. Look at my channel and you'll see that video at the top of the page with info on that tent. ~RVA~

Sounds like a fantastic idea to pair up campers with camping spots👍 I like those odds of being the only other person there👍 Looked like a really cool camp with fantastic views👍

Yes it's really a win win for both parties. Crowded campgrounds are not for me. Great spot, that I will be going back to for sure. Thanks for checking this one out. ~RVA~

[@sueb860]

Thanks for highlighting HipCamp! My hiking partner and I are trying to finish the New England Trail this year (after Julie Gayheart challenged me to!). The relationships between the NET and private landowners who allow the NET to pass through their property is tenuous, and legal campsites are few and far between. Many landowners don't want overnight campers. Did a section a couple weeks ago and used a HipCamp for the first time. With gas prices, we wanted to stay as close to trail as possible. We had a really good experience and only paid $25 for a spot that was right near a place to get coffee, breakfast and resupply. Excited for this solution to other challenges as we camp, travel, and hike!

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Hey SueB! I love my girl Julie! She is out there kicking butt on the MST right now! Yes, another great thing about HipCamps for the reasons you mentioned. When there aren't legal places to camp out on trail, oftentimes you will find a HipCamp close by. And many have shower facilities, water, and restrooms. That's why I wanted to share this video about them. There are so many different scenarios that they are just perfect for. You can't beat the prices, it's unbelievable how cheap some of them are for the locations they are in. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Very much appreiciated.~RVA~

Great video! And love the new hair ❤

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Thank you and thank you! Ha Ha! I could do a whole video series on hair. But it's not in my YT niche. LOL! It's been a journey going natural over the last 2 years. Blonde is out, silver is in. I have been coloring my hair since I was 18 to cover up my grey and I've been every color out there. Decided to stop spending crazy amounts of money to fight the losing battle. It probs makes me look older, but that this point in my life, I just don't care. Just out there being me, which is sometimes a little intimidating when a camera is in your face all the time. Female YT creator problems. Thanks for watching. ~RVA~

[@itsmetiffanymarie]

@@RVAHikerGirl I have a friend who did this a couple years ago and it looked great too! I think it’s such a good idea instead of trying to cover it. And probably more healthy since as you age the quality of your hair just isn’t what it used to be. Even at 33 I can tell my hair isn’t the same as it was 5 years ago. Also you are so right, grey is in style! Perfect time to just go with it. Keep doing you!

Hipcamp is awesome, I use it all the time now. I wish I had known about before this years ago. Great video!

We gotta look at hip camp. We are more on finding dispersed sites. But, this looks like a good alternative to KOA when youre out on the road for 10 days and needs something more "luxurious"

I don't know about more luxurious when most don't have any electricity, or facilities unless you try booking a yurt or treehouse etc. Most of the ones I have stayed at are just open land in various locations. But its definitely is a great website to look for someplace unique and different to camp. Let me know if you ever do book a place and let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching MaxD. ~RVA~

Aww thank you so much! They all are different. Some have facilities some don't. You go out in nature when they don't. I am a hiker and backpacker so I am used to using the restroom outside. I have a kit I carry with everything I need. Hmmm I haven't really every thought about it in terms of being a full time or part time vlogger. I would say I am part time, since I still work.

I'm still wondering how much Hipcamp costs. I suppose they all vary but a general cost idea is likely what everyone is wondering about. Typically, when cost is ignored in an overview video it's crazy expensive or there's a catch of some sort.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Every HipCamp has a different price just like Airbnb’s and hotels. No catch or crazy prices with me. At the time of video being made, this HipCamp was only $20 a night. (Generally they are cheaper than State parks for non electric campsites) Most HipCamps I camp at are usually primitive with not a lot of people around no bells and whistles and usually range between $20-$40 a night. Some HipCamps have cabins, yurts, or experiences that you have an option to purchase. Some have options to purchase fresh eggs firewood some have yoga out in nature, some have horseback riding they all are different and unique. I hope that answers your questions. Go google Hipcamp and look at what the prices are in your area to get a better idea.

@@stoneyrunva Not with views like this and its on private land with only 1 other campsite. That's the cheapest campsite I know besides the National Forest ones that are $10, but they don't have views like this and there are usually about 15 - 20 campsites.

There’s an app for Hipcamp.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Yes there sure is. You can use the app or go to their website.

Wish the land owners would cut out the middleman and just rent spots out themselves. Cool concept.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Yeah but some land owners don’t have the know how or the time to create a website then market and advertise their campsites. HipCamp does that for them. And honestly they’re probably seen a whole lot more for the most part because they’re on hipcamp then if they weren’t. I don’t know what the fee is that Hipcamp charges but it can’t be very much with some of the prices you see that are so low.

@@RVAHikerGirl, sounds like a good partnership then.
