## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Hipcamp Camping & Glamping Listings Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Hipcamp camping and glamping listings to CSV, JSON, or Excel in seconds.** No login required. No API key needed.

The Hipcamp Scraper extracts camping and glamping listings from [Hipcamp](https://www.hipcamp.com) - the leading platform for booking unique outdoor stays. Search by US state and collect listing names, types (tent/cabin/RV/glamping), ratings, reviews, pricing, amenities, and direct booking URLs. Data is pulled in real-time from Hipcamp's internal API.

Hipcamp hosts over 300,000 camping sites across private and public lands, including national forests, ranches, wineries, and farms. This actor gives you structured access to that data for any research, business, or development purpose.

Coverage spans all 50 US states, with 607+ listings for major states like California, Texas, and Colorado and 12 data fields per listing including amenities, price, rating, and images. Every record is collected in real-time with no cached responses.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Outdoor travel apps, market researchers, real estate investors, data journalists, developers, tourism boards | Aggregate camping inventory across platforms, analyze camping trends and pricing and availability, identify land with glamping potential, report on the outdoor hospitality industry, power maps and recommendation engines and travel tools, benchmark regional camping offerings |

### 📋 What the Hipcamp Scraper does

- Scrapes camping and glamping listings by US state
- Collects names, types, star ratings, review counts, and nightly prices
- Extracts amenities (fire pit, showers, WiFi, pets allowed, etc.)
- Returns direct Hipcamp booking URLs for each listing
- Supports optional activity filtering (hiking, fishing, swimming, etc.)
- Respects free/paid plan limits automatically

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Hipcamp is the fastest-growing outdoor hospitality platform in the US. Scraping it lets you track pricing trends, identify gaps in the market, and build tools that connect campers with unique outdoor experiences - data that isn't available through any official API.

### 📊 Data fields

Each record includes: `amenities`, `city`, `country`, `imageUrl`, `name`, `pricePerNight`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `scrapedAt`, `state`, `type`, `url`. All 12 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** State names should be lowercase (e.g. `california`, `new york`, `north carolina`). Free users are limited to 10 items. [Create a free account w/ $5 credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to unlock more.
