Camping on private land? That’s a thing? You bet your bumper it is. HipCamp is to private land camping what GoCamp is to camper van rentals. It’s a peer to peer model, with real, warm-blooded, happy-hearted humans making it happen by sharing their farms, vineyards, ranches, nature preserves, public sites, and private property with other happy campers who are looking for the best place to park it.
What to pack, what to pack …. ugh. If only we could go on vacation without having the gut-wrenching feeling like something important has been overlooked in the packing process. Well, good news fellow adventurers! When you rent a camper van with GoCamp, we do most of the packing for you!

No one wants to leave their best friend at home. That sad, droopy tail. Those mournful puppy dog eyes that plead “Pweeease take me with you.” Luckily many GoCamp vans are pet-friendly. Here are some tips for taking a road trip with your dog, courtesy of our friend Scout the Golden Retriever.
It’s the GoCamp Gift Guide! A short and sweet top gifts list for van lifers, campers, and road trippers. Our gift guide is focused on experiences, not things. Give someone you love something to look forward to and something to look back upon. Give them memories, laughter, and the fun of pulling over wherever whimsy beckons.
How to top an epic wedding? With an equally memorable camper van honeymoon of course. Bri and Justin set out on their 🚐🍯🌙 for a 3,000 mile journey throughout the Southwest. Bri says, “we’re hooked on van living. We’ve been driving a ton, listening to country music, taking in the insane landscapes, camping, cooking over the fire, curling up with a space heater at night, and stopping at tons of thrift stores and restaurants along the way. Honeymoon in a GoCamp van was the way to go!”
The freedom of the open road sounds so romantic. Just hop in and drive, let whimsy be your navigator, and then when you’re ready to sleep you just … pull over? Well, not exactly. “Just pulling over” isn’t always an option. Best consider boondocking!
