When people and groups buy up land to keep it from being developed, they have good intentions at heart. But those good intentions also come with a downside: that land becomes private property, and you never get to touch it. Hipcamp wants to open up those spaces to you. By working like Airbnb, Hipcamp allows you to rent time at the only swimmable lake in Big Sur, a private waterfall in California, and many other places that have been previously inaccessible. This video should get your ears excited to book a stay at a yurt.
