As you already know, Hipcamp is the largest online marketplace in the US where people can find and book glamp sites (i.e., cabins, yurts, treehouses, etc.) and traditional campsites on private land (think: farms, ranches, and vineyards). Similar to other vacation rental platforms, there’s plenty of options to choose from, which makes it tough to decide where to stay.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a curated list of highly recommended places? And what if the list was created by Hipcamp’s internal team of lodging experts? Even better! Well… fortunately, that’s exactly what we have for you today. Now, break out that calendar.
As the winter season approaches, Hipcamp pulled some of the best “Hipcamps” for fun winter activities such as skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing:
