According to the analytics of Second Measure, the company’s transactions between June and August of 2019 were more than 400%.

Initially, this company only provided information about campsites, but later, it diversified into glampsites, and RV parks as more and more people signed up with the company and were willing to offer their outdoor properties for a short-term rental basis. These were called ‘ Airbnb of the outdoors. Hipcamp had secured $ 45 million in funding before the last week’s raise, which has increased its valuation to $127 million.
