Hipcamp, an online marketplace for camping trips, has acquired BookOutdoors, a booking site for RV parks, cabins, campgrounds and glamping resorts. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Hipcamp said the acquisition will help it to meet travelers' demand for camping locations.
“In all our customer interviews and research, the top request — by far — from our campers is more places to camp,” said Alyssa Ravasio, founder and CEO of Hipcamp.
Ravasio, who called Hipcamp “the largest and fastest growing community of campers in the world,” said the company is excited to be joining up with BookOutdoors, which will add hundreds of new campgrounds and RV parks to the Hipcamp community.

“As the outdoor travel space has grown, it’s become clear that having a single, trusted destination for booking outdoor stays benefits both guests and campground operators,” said Brian Nolan, co-founder and CEO of BookOutdoors.
“By combining forces with Hipcamp, we’re creating more opportunities for campgrounds and making it even easier for travelers to find and book their ideal outdoor experience.”
