CampingBuddy
The group trip HQ for camping — plan it once, plan it right
CampingBuddy runs everything after you pick the campsite: AI packing lists and itineraries, shared plans your whole crew can edit, alerts when sold-out campsites open, expense splitting, meal plans, and a used-gear marketplace.
CampingBuddy exists because every group camping trip I've been on started the same way: 200 group-chat messages, three people bringing chips, nobody bringing water, and someone asking "wait, who has the stove?" from the trailhead.
The Dyrt and Hipcamp are great at helping you find a campsite. Nothing owned everything after that.
So I built it:
🏕️ Shared trip plans: one itinerary the whole crew sees and edits in real time 🎒 AI packing lists: tailored to your trip, group size, and the forecast 🔔 Campsite alerts: get pinged when a booked-out site opens up 🍳 AI meal plans + safety briefings: feeding six people in the woods, solved 💸 Expense splitting: no awkward math on the drive home ♻️ Gear Swap: a marketplace for used gear between campers
Free Explorer tier does a lot; Trailblazer (the full AI toolkit) has a 7-day trial, no card needed.
I'd love brutal feedback, especially from people who've been the Trip Organizer Friend. What would make your next trip easier?
Super useful concept, the alerts for sold-out campsites alone would save me a lot of refreshing. One thing I'd love to see is offline access to the itinerary and packing list, since cell service is usually nonexistent at most of the spots I camp.
Would love a "leave no trace" checklist tailored to the specific park you're headed to, with local fire rules and bear canister reminders. That feels like a natural fit with the meal plans and packing lists, and it's the kind of thing my group always forgets until we're already at the trailhead.
Love how you stitched together the campsite alerts with the shared itinerary editor. Most apps force you to bounce between tabs for that, and CampingBuddy keeps it in one flow.
