2026 is fast approaching so here are some tips to ensure you're good to go for the coming year.
📅 Set your Units to Live and update your calendar 📅
First, make sure your Units are live and bookable if you were previously paused!
Your Calendar is open in accordance with your booking window, and campers can book any dates that are available. If you’re not open all year, now’s the perfect time to block out your closed dates so you don’t receive any unexpected bookings.
☀️ Set your base and special prices☀️
If you use a PMS, your pricing will not automatically carry through to Hipcamp, you need to update it in Hipcamp specifically.
Review your base price, set special prices for high and low seasons, and consider using our holiday pricing tool. Note that special pricing will always override your base price.
Not sure how much to charge for your property? Our pricing FAQ can help you decide what works best for your Listing!
⛺ Adjust your minimum nights ⛺
You can set a standard number of minimum nights required for each booking.
If needed, you can also set a bespoke number of minimum nights across a chosen date range for your high and low seasons!

Make sure you're happy with your cancel policy and set up scheduled messages to make it easier to communicate with campers.
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Host newsletter emails to stay up to date on new features that will make hosting easier for you! You can also join the Official Hipcamp Host Facebook group for tips from Hipcamp and the Host community.
Thanks for all you do to get more people outside!
