Why Camp with CampChimp
Finding a campsite is a lot harder than it used to be. The typical camping journey starts off with spending a lot of time searching for good campgrounds nearby. Hours of research can go into finding a campsite that fits your needs. Maybe you want a place to swim, maybe something close to a town, or maybe campgrounds with campsites that are very far apart from each other.
The next step is to try to book a reservation. Whoops, they’re all sold out except a few weekdays, which isn’t when you prefer to camp. Back to the drawing board. Great, found another campground. Whoops, that one has no campsites either. Again, and again, and again.
What we’ve learned about camping is that it saves a lot of time to start with what campgrounds have available campsites, then choose the best one to meet your camping needs. But to do this, you have to search many camping platforms, which also takes forever.
So, we use AI to give campers the availability to search all platforms in one place, dramatically cutting their camping planning time. We want you outside camping, not just dreaming about camping, or even worse, frustrated that you can’t find a campsite.
We’re just getting started and have some things to work out, but give us a shot and let us do the camping planning work for you. We think you’ll like it. And if you don’t camp more after finding us (or at least save time planning your camping trips), please let us know.
