About The Dyrt

I love to camp. But I don’t love looking for campsites online. It should be an enjoyable, useful, and inspirational experience. But it’s not. At least, not yet. That’s why we’re launching The Dyrt.

We want searching for campsites online to be fun. We want to give you a ground level view of campsites through reviews, photos and videos. We want you to be able to share your favorite campgrounds with others, and find new camping experiences in The Dyrt community.

Building a website and app can be a slow moving process. We don’t have all the features of The Dyrt ready yet, but we’ve decided to launch the website with what we have now, and keep building. In the upcoming year, we will continue to build the other features of The Dyrt, making campground-searching easier for all of us.

We value your expertise. If you see campground information that is incorrect or missing, please let us know. If there’s something you would like to see featured in our blog, get in touch. We need your help to make The Dyrt an amazing camping community.
