Sharing economy embraces camping

(March 10, 2016) -- In recent years, the number of people going camping has steadily grown, leaving many state and national parks overcrowded and booked up months in advance. Hipcamp.com, an online resource for listing, discovering and booking unique places to stay in nature, is unlocking previously inaccessible pieces of land and creating more campsites for the growing population of campers. This also meets a common need amongst private landowners who can now host campers and earn money toward keeping their land undeveloped and natural.
