OUR STORY

The Hipcamp story began with a wave.
It has become a movement.

Hipcamp founder and CEO Alyssa Ravasio set out to find a beach campsite where she could watch the first sunrise of 2013. After hours of searching dozens of websites, she successfully found California’s Central Coast at Andrew Molera State Park. But, upon arrival, she discovered that all her research failed to disclose an essential detail: it was an amazing place to catch a wave. As an avid surfer, she was frustrated to learn that she should have brought her board.

And so the idea for Hipcamp was born. Alyssa set out to build technology to help people get outside, and connect with nature.

What began as a quest to get people outside has become a movement to use recreation to fuel the restoration of wild places and protect biodiversity. Hipcamp believes in the power of biophilia: as people spend time outdoors they fall in love with nature, and people protect what they love. Recreation also creates a regenerative engine that supports those who support the land. By helping people get outside, Hipcamp is changing culture and helping the planet too.

Alyssa Ravasio is the founder and CEO of Hipcamp.

Alyssa Ravasio is a lifelong camper, founder, and mother on a mission to get more people to fall in love with nature. 


She is the CEO and founder of Hipcamp, the #1 app to discover and book incredible campsites. Founded in 2013, Hipcamp is the world’s leading camping marketplace with access to more than 140,000 bookable campsites across 5M acres of land. 


Backed by investment from Andreessen Horowitz, Benchmark, and Bond, Hipcamp helps millions of campers sleep happily under the stars, boosting local economies and biodiversity along the way.


Alyssa is passionate about harnessing the power of technology to connect more people with nature and created her own major in Digital Democracy at UCLA. She has served on the Recreation Advisory Council for the Outdoor Industry Association to promote outdoor recreation and successfully led the advocacy efforts at Access Land to increase access to our national parks. 


She was recently named one of the 20 Most Influential People in the Outdoor Industry by Outside Magazine. Ravasio lives in the wilds of Marin County, California, with her husband and young son.


“I founded Hipcamp because I wanted it to be simpler to find a campsite, but I’ve come to realize that the income from outdoor recreation can play a critical role in supporting the restoration and protection of our planet’s biodiversity,” said Ravasio. “Recreation creates new income streams to support those who are supporting the land, and I’m thrilled to share how this regenerative model can transform the way we think about sustaining land trusts and keeping private lands from development.”
