Summer Camping

A new campground web app makes getting outdoors easier for everyone.
July 5th, 2016 by: Misty Miloto

The Dyrt (thedyrt.com), a new search platform, is a great tool for finding the perfect campsite thanks to a vast library of crowdsourced photos, videos and reviews (along the lines of a sleek Yelp for camping). This year, the National Park Service is celebrating its 100th anniversary, so it’s a great time to get out and explore some national parks as well as other campgrounds in the area.

The Dyrt is kicking off the summer with the goal of collecting user-generated content of every campground in the United States. The company has also launched the Great Camping Giveaway games with more than $100,000 in prizes, notably the Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi regional game. Campers will earn points and compete for prizes as they post and share useful campsite photos, videos and reviews. The Dyrt will reward leaderboard winners in the region throughout the summer months with quality outdoor goods from brand partner, Wind Warrior. The Dyrt features a real-time Alabama/Louisiana/Mississippi leaderboard and will reward 10 high-ranking reviewers who contribute and share the most useful campground reviews and content in the months of June, July, August and September. thedyrt.com
