Hipcamp has launched an interactive California Superbloom Forecast built from over 150,000 research-grade iNaturalist observations spanning 2021-2025 wildflower seasons. The tool helps travellers plan spring trips by combining data-driven bloom predictions with destination information and nearby campsite availability. The forecast comes as spring bookings surge ahead of what's expected to be California's best wildflower season in a decade. Hipcamp bookings are up 64% year-over-year for Death Valley, 22% for greater San Diego and 19% for greater Los Angeles. The company has also added a wildflower map layer to its app, overlaying hotspots directly onto campsite search results. Hipcamp encourages responsible visitation by promoting Leave No Trace principles to protect fragile landscapes during peak wildflower seasons.

Hipcamp partners with Sierra Club. US: Hipcamp has partnered with the Sierra Club to list a number of the organisation's historic cabins and backcountry huts on its booking platform. The partnership makes several Sierra Club properties in the Tahoe region available to book online, including Clair Tappaan Lodge, Hutchinson Lodge and four backcountry huts. According to the Sierra Club, listing the properties on Hipcamp is intended to improve visibility and support the long-term maintenance of the cabins and huts. The move comes ahead of the winter season and follows a period of reduced visitor access during the pandemic. The properties, many of which were built in the 1920s and 1930s, are located around Donner Summit and the wider Tahoe area. They provide access to nearby ski resorts as well as backcountry terrain and hiking routes, including sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. Seasonal access varies across the portfolio. While Clair Tappaan Lodge and Hutchinson Lodge can be reached by road throughout the year, the backcountry huts require multi-mile approaches by foot or ski during the winter months.
