Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Hipcamp Campsites & Host Scraper Extract campsite listings, host profiles, and public campground data from [Hipcamp](https://www.hipcamp.com) — the largest platform for private and public camping in the United States. Search by location or keyword, browse by state or campsite type, or fetch detailed records for specific campsites and hosts. No account, login, or API key required. --- ### What does this actor do? This actor scrapes Hipcamp's public website to collect structured campsite data. It supports five modes: - **Search campsites** by location keyword (e.g., "Yosemite", "Big Sur", "lake camping Texas") - **Get campsite detail** for specific Hipcamp land or campground URLs - **Get host profile** with member-since date, response rate, and listing links - **Browse by campsite type** (tent, RV, glamping, cabin, treehouse, etc.) - **Browse all campsites in a US state** For each campsite it collects: name, description, price per night, rating, review count, amenities, location, images, and a direct booking URL. Host records include profile metadata and their active listings. --- ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | Select | Scraping mode (see below) | `searchSites`

"2026-05-17T07:30:00+00:00" } ```` *** ### FAQ **How do I find all campsites in a specific US state?** Set `mode` to `byState` and choose your state from the `state` dropdown. For example, selecting `California` will browse Hipcamp's California camping listings. Combine with `minRating` or `maxPrice` filters to narrow results. **Can I filter by amenities like pets or electric hookup?** Yes. Use the `petFriendly`, `hasElectric`, `hasWifi`, and `hasWater` boolean toggles. These filter results client-side after fetching from Hipcamp. Note: amenity data availability depends on what hosts have listed. **How do I scrape a specific campsite I found on Hipcamp?** Copy the campsite URL from your browser (e.g. `https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/california-camping-at-yosemite-s-doorstep-lz9hk605`), set `mode` to `getSite`, and paste the URL(s) into `startUrls`. The actor will fetch full detail including reviews and individual site info. **Can I scrape host profiles?** Yes. Use `mode=getHost` with a land URL in `startUrls`. The actor fetches the land detail, extracts the host's profile info (member since, response rate, listings), and outputs a host record. **How fresh is the data?** The actor fetches live data from Hipcamp's website at the time of each run. Pricing, availability, and ratings reflect the current state of each listing. **What campsite types are supported?** The `siteType` filter supports: Tent Camping, RV Camping, Glamping, Cabin, Treehouse, Farm, Ranch, Yurt, Tiny House, and Other. Both private Hipcamp lands and public campgrounds are returned. **How is the rating calculated?** Hipcamp uses a "recommends percentage" (0–100%). This actor converts it to a 0–5 scale by dividing by 20, so 100% → 5.0, 80% → 4.0, etc. *** ### Limitations - **Date availability** is not scraped. This actor does not check which dates a campsite is available for booking. - **Booking is not supported.** The actor only extracts public listing data; actual reservations must be made on Hipcamp. - **Private land locations** may show approximate coordinates rather than exact addresses, as Hipcamp protects exact locations until after booking. - **Results per search** are limited to what Hipcamp's discover pages surface (~20–40 listings per location). For broader coverage, run multiple queries or use `byState` mode. - **Public campgrounds** (national parks, state parks) may not have pricing listed if they use an external reservation system (e.g., Recreation.gov). # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape.
