It\u2019s hard to beat a summer night under the stars, whether it\u2019s from a glamping site in a cactus-studded desert, an alpine lake tucked deep in the lush backcountry or an RV park within walking distance of a paddle-worthy lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But arranging these adventures hasn\u2019t always been simple. That\u2019s why REI is partnering with Hipcamp<\/a>, an online site and app that enables people to discover places to stay on private and public land, and, in some cases, find real-time availability that makes even last-minute trip planning a breeze. Hipcamp helps people spend less time researching and more time recreating\u2014and the co-op shares in the mission to get more people outside.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, Hipcamp is known for its breadth of overnight options on private land, which can offer a more intimate alternative to often crowded national and state parks. Private sites can be a great choice if public campgrounds, which can require reservations months in advance, are full. The diversity of options also provides an experience beyond the typical campsite, whether it\u2019s spending a few days at a regenerative farm or cozying up in a geodesic dome (you know, those bubble-like structures that offer great views).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And perhaps the best part is that you can feel good about your adventure. Staying on private land supports landowners, which can help them care for critical ecosystems on their property.  \u201cOne of our core beliefs is that we can use recreation to power the restoration of our ecosystems,\u201d says Hipcamp CEO and Founder Alyssa Ravasio. So, while you learn about the principles of, say, regenerative agriculture or take in a desert sunset, you\u2019re also supporting the people who steward our outdoor spaces. Pretty neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
