Sponsored Post – from Hipcamp
It’s only been a few short months since we started offering the Land Share Program on Hipcamp. Already, the level of enthusiasm and growth we’ve seen from both landowners and campers has blown away all expectations. It’s clear this is an idea whose time has come.
While our landowners are excited to share their land with Hipcampers, we’ve been hearing two questions very consistently: What happens if someone gets hurt? And what happens if someone damages my land?
Today, we are thrilled to announce two protection plans that address those concerns by providing our landowners with the peace of mind that Hipcamp will support them in the rare event of an accident.
The first part of the protection plan is our Insurance Policy, a general liability insurance plan that provides up to $1 million to a landowner in the event a camper injures themselves on a landowner’s property. In order to be covered, you must meet a few criteria detailed on our Hipcamp Protection page.
We know that to many people, their land is one of their pride and joys. It has been in the family for generations, grown produce, provided memories and laughs, and now through Hipcamp, provides income via camping. We are excited to announce the second part of our protection, the Property Protection Plan, which would reimburse a landowner for up to $10,000 in damages in the rare event a camper damages a landowner’s property. We want to ensure the land an owner holds sacred also stays protected, healthy and vibrant.
At Hipcamp, we are taking a proactive approach to supporting our landowners in the rare case of an accident. We are grateful to not have had any accidents on Land Share properties yet, (knock on wood), but we’re not naive, and know that as our rapid growth continues, an accident may occur. Before anything happens, before we send another Hipcamper to a Land Share, before the next landowner lists on our site, we want to provide them with the peace of mind that we’ve got their back.
To read more about these policies, and to see if you qualify to be covered under the Hipcamp Insurance Policy, head to our Protection page. And, if you know any landowners who might be interested in sharing their land on Hipcamp as they could now be covered, please send them our way through our referral program! If they list, you will get $250 in Hipcamp credit to go visit these amazing pieces of land.
Our mission is to get more people outside to have amazing, fun and safe experiences in nature. Today I am very proud to share these two important ways we are unlocking access to the outdoors for campers while also providing our landowners with the protection and support they need.
I’d also like to thank our advisor, Sara Swanson, and our brokers, Bevlyn Donohue and Bill Curtis from Porter & Curtis, all of whom worked tirelessly with us to make this policy possible. We deeply appreciate your help.
About Hipcamp: Our newest EcoNetwork Partner, Hipcamp, is an online, comprehensive guide to public campgrounds located across the country, including right here in Texas. But lately, Hipcamp has been taking its love for camping one step further, by unlocking access to private lands as well through its new Land Share program. With Land Share, landowners can earn money by opening their property up to Hipcamp’s growing community of over 400,000 people looking for unique and beautiful places to camp, stay and connect with nature.
