We first met Youcamp founders James Woodford and Prue Bartlett just under a year ago, and since then, the business has experienced month-on-month growth.
Otherwise known as 'Airbnb for campers', Youcamp is one of the latest additions to the sharing economy.
The startup connects campers with landowners, helping travellers keep away from busy campsites, while allowing farmers to earn extra income on the side.
An improved website, as well as continued word of mouth in regional Australia, has boosted the number of hosts and campers using the site.
They've also implemented a new insurance policy, to help legitimise their business.
Youcamp is still grappling with regulatory issues, however, James says councils across the country are beginning to embrace the business as a useful tourism strategy.
