Plan a camping trip the whole group is up for
Camping trips have a comfort gap. One friend wants to backpack in with everything on their back, another won’t go without a real bed and a bathroom. Put the styles and spots in a Rankd and let everyone rank them privately. The winner is the trip most people are up for, so you don’t lose half the group the week before.
- Tent camping by the lake
- Car camping at a state park
- Backpacking, one night in
- Glamping with real beds
- Beach campground
- Rent a cabin and call it camping
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- People can admit they want a real bed without getting teased in the chat.
- Experienced campers and first-timers rank on equal terms.
- The full order gives you a backup if the winning campsite is booked.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Add the gear people would need for each option.
- Reserve campsites as soon as you reveal; popular ones fill early.
- Run a second rank for the camp menu.
Questions
Should we rank the style or the campsite?
Style first if the group has mixed experience. Once that’s settled, rank two or three real campsites that fit.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
