Great Idea: Peer-to-peer camping grounds (renting out the back yard)

Springwise ferociously tracks more than 400 global offline and online business resources, as well as taking to the streets of world cities, with digital cameras at hand to provide brain food for entrepreneurial minds! To get your daily dose, you can subscribe here and in the meantime, enjoy this great idea changing the face of travel around the world.

Camping, an ancient form of holiday accommodation, is now going peer-to-peer: Single Spot Camping connects anyone who owns a suitably sized piece of land (‘even your garage entrance’, says the site) with those looking for a place to pitch their tent.

Like the more established concept of couch surfing, the Swedish startup aims to create travel experiences that are more unique and personal than staying at a regular camping ground. Additional benefits are the small stream of income created for hosts, and the fact that—unlike with couch surfing—both guests and hosts can maintain a sense of privacy.

The price for listing a camping spot is 400 Swedish Krona per year (approximately 60 US dollars). Any plots of land sitting empty in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Australia or the United States can currently be registered, with the site aiming to become popular with campers and site owners in Europe, North America and Australia.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt

growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and

its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

Hi,
this is quit like what we do back here in kenya, its a great idea, we are noe begging to open our home yards for camping purposes and security feelings for the camp groups,we with our company we do hotels but bush camping near native homes is the most popular safari,maybe you can sample that too.
