We know that plans change—so whether you're adding a few more people to the trip or someone can no longer come, it’s easy to update your group size directly from your Trips page.
This guide walks you through how to make changes, what costs may apply, and what to do if the Modify Trip button isn’t available. It covers:
- How group size and pricing works
- How to edit the number of campers on your booking
- What to do if you don't see the "modify trip" button
How group size and pricing works
Each Site on Hipcamp has a nightly base price that covers a set number of Hipcampers. For example, a Site may charge $50 per night for up to 4 people.
If your group is larger than the base size, some Hosts allow you to add extra guests for an additional fee—this is known as the “additional person cost.”
If you add more people after booking, your card will be charged the additional fee plus a small service fee.
If you remove guests, you’ll receive a full refund of the additional person cost.
You can adjust your guest count up until your trip’s start date.
Note: If your site is “Request to Book,” the Host will need to approve your changes within 24 hours.

Don’t see the “Modify Trip” button?
There are a couple of reasons you might not see the Modify Trip option on your Trips page. Either way, we can help—the next step just depends on how your booking was made.
If your booking included a discount or promo code:
The Modify Trip tool isn’t available yet for these bookings. But you can still make changes:
- Message your Host via Hipcamp to confirm your new group size.
- Once your Host has approved, contact Hipcamp Support and we’ll adjust the booking for you.
