The Dyrt

The Dyrt's mission is to expand the camping community and help more people enjoy the outdoors. With over 30 million annual camper visits and 4 million user-generated reviews and photos of US campgrounds, The Dyrt is the largest source of camping information. The Dyrt PRO (The Dyrt’s $36/year subscription) enables campers to find free camping areas on public lands, search for campgrounds with cell service coverage, use the app offline, get discounts on camping and more.

Founded in 2013 by avid campers Sarah Smith and Kevin Long, the couple re-immersed themselves in the camping community in 2021 by running the company from their camper van at campgrounds across the US. During this time, The Dyrt raised $11 million in Series B funding, expanded their team to 60, and became the first major platform to offer commission-free bookings for campgrounds.

In 2022, The Dyrt’s reach and membership continues to scale rapidly. The Dyrt was named by The New York Times to a list of “extremely useful” apps for visiting national parks and The Dyrt’s 2022 Camping Report was called “the statistically most meaningful picture of what it’s like to go camping in America” by RV Travel.
