GoCamp is a west coast favorite for renting camper vans. Together with Outdoorsy – one of the largest RV sharing sites in the marketplace – van owners can now double their exposure by seamlessly listing on both sites. You totally could go it alone on one of the bigger RV sharing sites, but why would you? 🤔
“We love what GoCamp has done with Outdoorsy’s professional fleet management tools. They’ve really built a brand that renters trust. GoCamp has more five star reviews than almost any other user; GoCamp’s presence on the Outdoorsy platform is raising the bar.”

When you list on GoCamp you double your exposure, quadruple your rentals, and make way more money.
When you list your van on GoCamp, we create an identical profile on Outdoorsy. Behind the scenes the two listings are synched so that the calendars on both automatically update when a reservation is made on either platform. You get the same payout regardless of where the reservation was generated.
GoCamp provides the insurance, handles the payments and paperwork, and responds to renter inquiries generated on both sites. Once a rental is confirmed, GoCamp introduces you to the renter and you take it from there.
Less work for you. More exposure. More rentals. More income in your pocket!
“I know that in order to stay high in search rankings, you have to be very responsive to inquiries on your listing. I just don't have time to constantly respond to questions from potential renters. That's where GoCamp comes in. They are super responsive and provide amazing customer service. It's a perfect arrangement. I take over when it is time to hand over the keys (and cash the checks!). ”

Using this double listing approach GoCamp has booked over 1500 rentals for camper van owners. 80% of these rentals came directly from the GoCamp website. That means for every one rental you book by yourself on one of the bigger RV sharing sites, you could have booked an additional four using the double listing approach offered by GoCamp.
Why? Better brand alignment. Renters who want a nimble camper van get overwhelmed by the sea of motorhomes they encounter on the bigger sites. The GoCamp brand more closely aligns with the #vanlife vibe these renters are seeking.
“I listed my van on Outdoorsy but struggled to make it stand out in the crowd. Then I joined the GoCamp fleet; I figured the more exposure, the better. GoCamp helped me update my listing, scheduled a photo shoot, and bookings started coming in one after another. I made $23,000 on the GoCamp platform last year. I highly recommend GoCamp. It makes the renting process a lot easier and much more profitable than going it alone on the big sites.”

You'll keep a bigger share of the total rental amount when you list on GoCamp. Why? Because you only pay commission on the base rental amount, regardless of which site generated the booking.
On the bigger sharing sites you pay commission on the entire rental, including the add-ons. With GoCamp you get 100% of the “extras” such as mileage charges, bike racks, stand up paddle boards, pet fees, cleaning fees, etc.
Renters typically get the best deal on GoCamp listings too — an important consideration for price sensitive shoppers. Outdoorsy offers GoCamp renters special pricing, and our custom insurance is offered at below market rates.
