Summer isn’t over yet, and Hipcamp and AllTrails are helping outdoor lovers make the most of it. The two outdoor platforms teamed up on a curated list of ten all-in-one adventures combining trails and nearby campsites for unforgettable end-of-summer escapes, according to a release.
The partnership is a natural fit. Hipcamp, an app for finding and booking campsites with over 7 million users, and AllTrails, whose platform reaches more than 80 million trailgoers worldwide, share a common mission: to help more people get outside. This collaboration makes it easy to discover and experience a day-to-night or weekend outdoor adventure, at a time when many are eager to make the most of the rest of the season, noted the release.
From catching the Perseids meteor shower in the desert to soaking in a hot tub under the stars, each curated activity includes three trails and three unique Hipcamp stays. Whether you’re interested in hosting a scenic potluck, paddling at sunset, or stargazing in style, there’s something on the list for every type of explorer.
“People are craving more meaningful outdoor moments,” said Kristen Vasan, Global Head of Partnerships at Hipcamp. “By pairing incredible trails with equally special places to stay, we’re helping people take the guesswork out of planning and jump straight into memory-making outside.”
“We’re always looking for new ways to inspire people to get outside,” said Claire Gonzalez, Head of Marketing Partnerships at AllTrails. “Hipcamp was the perfect partner to curate all-in-one experiences for our community of millions who love the outdoors.”
