Great Info -- love how much you had learned thru your experiences. -- You are so right about using the map for searching and changing up the dates in the search (when a site is booked -- it does not show in the list or map for dates that have been input) -- also -- being able to ask questions is a valuable tool -- you can ask anything without being booked...so based on how fast and professionally the host answers, you get an indicator about the future site experience. -- and as you stated leaving a review (I encourage a thumbs up even if it was not perfect) with some details about favorite pleasures and also suggestions because it helps everyone...even the host. -- i am a host and one review I had in year two suggested a Hammock...and Lo-and-Behold the next week I found a set on a stand ready to go at a thrift store which became part of our amenities. Continue to find the JOY in your JOurneY and again THANKS.
Please do a video, sharing some of your best experiences with hosts and how they made your stay amazing.... And perhaps a story or two of things that really annoyed you about a particular host you stayed with. We are working on setting up our hipcamp site, And we are curious what is important to you.
@@TKnEarl Subscribed... looking forward to it. I was thinking about creating a whole orientation video for check-in that they can watch in advance which covers some of the options for getting parked in the spot, as well as the electric hookup options... And details if they elect for the optional water upgrade or the tank dump... I think the trick will be figuring out how to balance making it simple enough for a inexperienced camper to understand without offending more experienced guests like you. Searching around HipCamp, i'm finding that of every 5 campsite names I search for in Facebook, 1 will turn up a FB page, with photos of the site. When you are looking on HipCamp, how often do you find yourself doing some additional due diligence on other platforms like facebook or TH-cam to see if you can learn more about the site before you book? Are long lists of "local" amenities important to you? "We're 30 minutes from X, and 15 minutes from Y, and an hour from Z... and if you like Golf or Wineries, our town offers... " What do you like to see in a listing? Do you prefer instant bookings? Are the other kinds a turn off? Do you like to meet the host, or do you prefer a DIY spot? If you meet the host, what makes that interaction AMAZING? and what makes them weird, awkward, annoying, or uncomfortable? Our hipcamp won't be "remote." We will have two 30amp lines for electric, optional hose, optional tank dump... but it's in our "side yard" which is very private from the road with our trees, but we come and go during the day. 2 acre back yard to enjoy, gazebo with a small water-feature in the garden. Is it a good idea to share the pricing for the "extra's" on the site page, more transparently, prior to having to reserve dates, so you don't get inside, and then see all the optional up-charges? If i'm competing with 3 other local hipcamps... what will set my place apart, that you are looking for in the listing details, and in a place to stay?

Great idea! We have two Hipcamp stays coming up that would help with that video. Coming soon!
