Planning the perfect escape into nature shouldn’t be a struggle. Yet, for many, booking campsites and outdoor activities can feel like an obstacle course.
This is where Campsited comes in, transforming what was once a complicated and time-consuming process into a seamless, one-stop solution.
Founded in 2014 by Finán O'Donoghue and James Gormley in Dublin, Campsited has grown from a personal pain point to a thriving resource for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a stress-free way to experience the world’s most scenic getaways.
The Birth of an Idea
The spark behind Campsited ignited when O'Donoghue, struggling to book a campsite for his family, realized just how outdated and fragmented the process was.
Rather than accept this inconvenience, he envisioned a solution: a user-friendly platform where adventurers could easily find and book campsites and outdoor activities around the world.
“Today, there is no online marketplace to easily book every campsite around the world. This is the problem Campsited is solving. Just like Booking.com did for hotels,” said Finan O’Donoghue, Founder & CEO of Campsited.
Partnering with James Gormley, O'Donoghue turned that vision into a reality, and Campsited was launched.
What began as a humble tool for booking campsites has since evolved into a global resource for everything from glamping retreats to rugged outdoor adventures.
Campsited's Expanding Reach
Since its inception, Campsited has grown exponentially. Initially focused on campsite bookings, it now connects travelers to a vast range of outdoor activities.
With over 270,000 accommodation listings and more than 500,000 activities available across the globe, Campsited has become a comprehensive platform for adventurers looking to create custom outdoor experiences.
“Our ambition is to become the global marketplace for anyone who wants to stay, work, and play in the open air, anywhere in the world, and have great experiences while doing so. Life is short and we want to help people to live it,” said O’Donoghue.
Fostering a Connection with Nature
At its heart, Campsited is about more than just bookings. It’s about inspiring people to explore, unwind, and forge a deeper connection with nature.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new to the world of outdoor travel, the platform caters to every type of adventurer.
From detailed site descriptions to activity suggestions, Campsited ensures users can craft unforgettable outdoor escapes.
Additionally, their engaging blog offers expert tips, advice, and inspiration to guide users in making the most of their time outdoors.
The Future of Campsited
As the desire for outdoor adventures continues to grow—particularly in a post-pandemic world—Campsited is on the rise.
With a commitment to innovation and a passion for the outdoors, the company’s future looks bright.
“Campsited’s ultimate goal is to become the go-to brand globally for people to plan and book their camping and outdoor holiday," said O’Donoghue.
O'Donoghue and Gormley continue to expand the platform’s reach, ensuring that Campsited remains at the forefront of the camping and outdoor booking industry.
