The Dyrt — A Fresh Look at Bookings Systems
Flooding and natural disasters affect plans of 1 in 5 campers
PORTLAND, OR
April 28, 2023
The Dyrt, the No. 1
app for camping information and booking, found in its 2023 Camping Report that 18.1 percent of campers changed or canceled plans due to flooding and natural disasters last year. Certainly many campers are adjusting plans today as most of Yosemite National Park closes because of imminent flooding resulting from a heatwave melting the area’s record snowpack.
Flooding has been a major issue for campers and outdoors enthusiasts in the United States recently. There was massive flooding in Yellowstone National Park in 2022, and campgrounds in New Mexico and Iowa closed earlier this month due to flooding.
“Last year I was riding my motorbike in northern California and all of a sudden the road was closed because of a mudslide,” says The Dyrt camper Lulu Luna Turbin of Hauser, Idaho. “I’m planning a two-week trip back there this year and there are reports of roads shifting. There’s been crazy snow and rain.”
The Dyrt’s finding that nearly one in five campers altered plans in 2022 due to flooding and natural disasters is roughly triple the 6.1 percent who indicated their plans in 2019 were disrupted. During that same three-year timeframe, campers reported that it became five times harder to find an available campsite.
“With the increase in popularity of camping, people have to plan further and further ahead to make sure they can reserve a campsite,” says The Dyrt CEO Kevin Long. “So when a family has a trip planned and a national park, state park or campground is forced to close due to a flood, it’s not as easy as pushing it off a week or just finding another campground.”
Avid campers — survey respondents who camped 11 or more times in 2022 — were more likely to have their plans disrupted by floods and natural disasters with 26.6 percent indicating they encountered an issue last year. These campers also make up more than half of The Dyrt PRO members who can use features such as free camping maps to find last-minute alternatives.

The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping with the most active online camping community, has been ranked for the first time on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list, which has been produced every year since 1982, represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent businesses.
“Sometimes it feels like The Dyrt has been an overnight sensation 10 years in the making,” says The Dyrt founder Sarah Smith. “Being ranked in the Inc. 5000 is a wonderful honor and further validation that our team, and our cherished community of The Dyrt campers, has done more than provide comprehensive information about campgrounds online: They’ve made camping more accessible to everyone who wants to enjoy the great outdoors.”
Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. The Dyrt, which was previously listed on the 2022 Inc. Regionals: Pacific list, experienced 87 percent growth over those three years. The Inc. 5000 recognition puts The Dyrt in the top 0.07 percent of all privately owned companies in America in terms of multi-year growth.
There are more than 44,000 campgrounds listed on The Dyrt, which is now home to more than 6.4 million user-generated campground reviews, photos and tips — averaging five new uploads every minute in 2021. The Dyrt is on pace for more than 30 million visits in 2022, more than double the amount from 2020.
“Like so many of the great companies on the Inc. 5000 list, The Dyrt started as one person’s idea,” says Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. “Sarah truly believed that The Dyrt could become the resource that campers across the country relied upon. All the time and effort that was put in from everyone — past and present — working at The Dyrt prepared us for the recent camping boom. One in five Americans go camping, and there were 8.3 million first-timers last year. We’re here for all of them.”
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work and rising to the challenges of today.”
