Tips for taking quality photos:
Your first property photo is the most important photo.
This is the photo that appears in Hipcamp searches, so it’s important that it accurately portrays the property. Make sure this is a clear, zoomed-out shot of your property so the camper is more likely to click on it.
Clean up the site
Clear clutter, garbage, or anything that might deter a Hipcamper.
Take horizontal photos
Take zoomed-out landscape (horizontal) photos instead of portrait (vertical) photos
Use the best lighting
For outdoor shots, take photos in the later afternoon to get a warm, flattering light. For indoor shots, take photos during the day when there's lots of bright, natural light and turn on any additional lighting.
Bonus: What makes your land unique?
Have any cute farm animals? A swimming hole? A great view? Take photos! Hipcampers love seeing what makes your land unique.
What not to include:
- Photos of Google maps or other maps of your property
