Togo Group, a leading technology platform for road travel and outdoor experiences, added Campendium to its family of digital brands.
Campendium, which will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand, is a crowd-sourced and editorially curated web and mobile application. It allows users to search, preview and provide feedback on more than 32,000 public and private camping locations across the continental United States, Canada and Baja, Mexico. Over the past 12 months, Campendium’s app and website traffic has grown 59 percent, with a 58.5 percent increase of net-new users over the same period.
“Campendium is the standard for RVers when finding places to camp. From public lands to established campgrounds, Campendium’s knowledge is unique, rapidly growing and used by millions of RVers,” said Togo Group CEO Danny Hest. “It will significantly advance our mission to provide RVers and roadtrippers with end-to-end trip discovery and planning tools – including finding accommodations – that allow them to enjoy their journey. We look forward to applying our experience, scale and tools to help Campendium further develop its product, enhance the user experience and grow the platform’s reach.”
Co-founders Brian Easterling and Leigh Wetzel, who launched the Campendium website in 2015, will remain with the company to support its continued growth.
“Helping people discover great places to camp has been our passion for over six years,” said Wetzel. Joining the Togo Group family with its depth of resources and talent is the best way for Campendium to reach its full potential, further improve the experience for our community and deepen the brand’s commitment to the conservation of public lands.”
