Rocki McCrocklin, 52, rents her Bend, Oregon, backyard out to campers for about $74 a night. The first summer we lived in the house, some of our friends said they were taking a trip with Hipcamp. It goes back into the upkeep of the spots, too, but with a two-acre property, there's always going to be high maintenance costs. Courtesy of Rocki McCrocklinI really love meeting our guests and getting to know some amazing people. Some Hipcamp guests have been especially memorableMcCrocklin put the woodchips down on the campsite to minimize dirt spreading to the rest of the yard.
