Pacific Yurts and Hipcamp: Good for the Glamping Business
Put two like-minded organizations together, and great things can happen – not just for the organizations themselves, but for their customers as well.
Hipcamp is the go-to app to discover and book incredible campsites, connecting operators of camping and glamping sites with people who love sleeping under the stars. But more than a booking site, it’s a growing community of good-natured people who care for the land, boosting local economies and biodiversity along the way.
Like Pacific Yurts, Hipcamp has a love of nature and responsible land stewardship built right into its DNA. With so much overlap in our company cultures, it’s no surprise that several dozen Hipcamp Hosts include our yurts among their offerings, earning more and more bookings each year.
Pairing Pacific Yurts with Hipcamp’s community is a smart move for any glamping operator. Here’s why these two resources add up to more than the sum of their parts.
How Pacific Yurts Boosts Your Hipcamp Listing
Calling all Hipcamp Hosts! Hipcamp is home to some of the most gorgeous, friendliest, quirkiest camping sites in the United States, from private spots set alone on 30 acres to full-fledged RV resorts. No matter what type of land you have, adding a Pacific Yurt is a low-lift, low-cost way to welcome people seeking experiences beyond traditional tent camping. Providing the choice of both tent camping and yurt stays with a bit more luxury will expand your audience while still keeping visitors connected to the great outdoors.
Broadening your market appeal in this way means broadening your potential revenue sources. That’s why Hipcamp has seen that Hosts who offer a Pacific Yurt on the platform earn an additional $10,000 in annual revenue, on average. Numbers like this mean that, depending on the yurt size, it’s possible to see a return on your investment within the first year.
Own a Pacific Yurt? Give Hipcamp a Try!
If you own a Pacific Yurt but your site isn’t listed on Hipcamp, we’ll put it simply: You’re missing out. With a community of over 7 million active users, Hipcamp is the best way to connect directly with a vast audience of campers and glampers looking for the site of their next adventure. That makes it a powerful potential driver of occupancy and revenue at your site.
This isn’t just theoretical – many Hipcamp Hosts have earned over $20,000 within the first eight months of signing up. In more than a few cases, this has enabled the hosts to expand their business in meaningful ways.
Even if you’re the owner of a yurt for personal use, not a full-time site operator, Hipcamp can be an effective way to add some passive income to your household books. Many Pacific Yurt customers keep a yurt in their backyard for use as a home office, yoga studio, or guest house – and Hipcamp allows you to add “rental property” to that list of potential uses.
A Match Made in Glamping Heaven
The benefits that Pacific Yurts and Hipcamp provide to our customers are a testament to the natural harmony that exists between our two companies. That harmony stems, first and foremost, from a shared love of nature and a passion for sustainability.
For Pacific Yurts, that means connecting travelers with the natural world while minimizing our impact on it – a goal we achieve through excavation-free installation, reduction of waste, and quality of materials. To quote one of our customers at Treebones Resorts, which was recently named one of the top glamping sites in the United States, Pacific Yurts allows operators to “perch lightly on the land.”
For Hipcamp, it means making land stewardship a top priority. Everything Hipcamp does is guided by the belief that getting outside is good for the health of people and the planet. By connecting landowners who want to keep their land undeveloped with a community of responsible, nature-loving Hipcampers, recreation can help fund the conservation of this land.
