About The Family Campsite

Where families come together around the campfire — and online.

Our Story

Founded in 2026 in Louisburg, NC by Eddie "Hildy" Hildebrandt — a lifelong camper who loves nothing more than loading up the family for a weekend in the great outdoors. What started as a simple idea around a campfire became The Family Campsite: a place where families can find quality camping gear they can trust, at any budget.

Hildy founded The Family Campsite because he believed families deserve better than generic product listings and overseas customer support. Every product is personally vetted for quality, and when you call us, you'll speak with a real person right here in the USA.

Our Mission

To be the camping store families trust — offering curated, quality gear and the kind of customer service that makes you feel like part of the family.

What Sets Us Apart

Real People, Real Support

Call us Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM EST. You'll always reach a real person based right here in the United States.

Every Product Vetted

We don't list thousands of random products. Every item in our store is hand-selected and tested to make sure it's worthy of your family's next adventure.

Proudly Supporting USA Brands

We actively seek out American-made products so patriotic families can support US businesses while enjoying the great outdoors.
