On Hipcamp, there are a few different photo albums that you can add photos to! You can edit and reorder your photos from the Property tab in the Host Dashboard.
Editing the order of photos on your Property page
The Property photo album should be a collection of photos that show off your Property in a general way and that include areas and amenities that anyone visiting will be able to enjoy and access. To edit the photos that display in your Property photo album:
- Head to your Property page
- Click the button that says Edit Property details
- Click Add or edit photos
- Click and drag to re-order your photos (or click Upload to add new photos).
Editing the order of photos on a Site page
If you have designated Sites, you should upload Site-specific photos! If there are amenities or details that can only be used if you book a specific Site, save those photos to upload to show off on that Site specifically.
If you have dispersed Sites, you should upload photos that show the general area that campers can set up in. (Reminder: Dispersed Sites mean that campers choose a place to camp on arrival).
- Head to your Property page
- Click Sites
- Click Edit next to the Site whose photos you want to reorder
- Click Add or edit photos
- Click and drag to re-order your photos (or click Upload to add new photos).
What if the photos aren't showing up in the order I put them?
Hipcamp utilizes a feature called “Photo Order Optimization” for Hosts’ Properties. This optimizes the order of photos based on many factors, including how Campers who view your Property interact with your photos.
We find this tool helpful in converting views to bookings, but if you’d like to opt out, you may do so from your Property page at any time.
To opt out of photo optimization:
- Head to your Property page
- Click the button that says Edit property details
- Click Add or Edit photos
- Scroll to the bottom of the page, below your photos
- Click the check box next to Photo Order Optimization
- Click the Turn off button
