Campsite reserved. Gear packed. Expenses sorted.
Track shared camping costs -- from site fees to firewood runs. Split fairly, handle shared gear and communal food, and settle up before you pack the car.
This is for you if...
- ✓You reserved the campsite and fronted the fee
- ✓Someone brought the big tent, another brought the stove, and costs are uneven
- ✓Group grocery runs and firewood stops are piling up
- ✓You want to enjoy the trip without playing camp accountant
Camping trips have a lot of small, shared purchases. Without tracking, someone always absorbs more than their share.
Built for group outdoor adventures
Are We Even handles the unique mix of camping expenses -- site fees, shared equipment, communal food, and the endless supply runs that happen between setup and takedown.
Simple tracking. Fair splits. No drama around the campfire.
Why camping trip expenses are tricky to split
Gear contributions are unequal
One person brings the $400 tent. Another brings a $20 tarp. Should that factor in? Usually people say no, but the tent owner quietly notices.
Small purchases add up fast
Firewood, ice, bug spray, extra stakes, a cooler, batteries. Each one is small. Together, they're significant.
Communal food is impossible to track mentally
Who paid for the steaks? The breakfast supplies? The s'mores fixings? By day two, nobody remembers.
No service means delayed tracking
Remote campsites mean no cell service. Expenses happen all day but can't be logged until you're back in range.
Track every camping cost in one place
Are We Even gives your group a shared expense log. Site fees, grocery runs, gear purchases, firewood stops -- log them when you can, and the balance stays current. No mental tallies. No post-trip guessing. No "I think I paid for more."
- Log expenses when you have signal
- Split by person or by tent
- Settle before the drive home
How it works
Create the group when you book the site
Start tracking from the first reservation. Share the link with everyone going.
Log shared purchases as they happen
Grocery haul, firewood stop, ice run. Whoever pays adds it.
Batch-add when back in range
No signal at the campsite? Add everything when you're back at the trailhead or on wifi.
Settle before packing up
Review the balances on the last morning. A few transfers and everyone's square.
Your campsite expenses, organized
Every purchase, every participant, every balance. From the reservation deposit to the last firewood run.
Features

Group and individual splits
Firewood for everyone? Split it equally. Someone's fishing license? That's just them.
Pre-trip tracking
Start logging supply purchases and reservation fees before the trip begins.
Simple settlement
Minimum transfers to square up. The app calculates the fewest payments needed.
Common camping trip expenses
Why camping trips need real tracking
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| "We'll figure it out later" | later never comes |
| One person covers everything | unfair and hard to reimburse |
| Splitting equally at the end | ignores varied purchases and participation |
| Receipts in a bag | good luck sorting that on Sunday night |
| Are We Even | real-time tracking, flexible splits, settle before leaving |
No signal? No problem.
You don't need constant connectivity. Log expenses when you have wifi or service. Add them at the end of each day back at camp. The balance updates whenever you sync. Camping trips are remote. The tool still works.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What about gear someone already owns?
- Generally, people don't charge for gear they already have. But if someone bought new gear specifically for the trip, log it as an expense and split it among the group.
- Can we split by tent or couple instead of per person?
- Yes. Adjust splits to reflect however your group is structured. Per person, per tent, per family -- your call.
- What if someone leaves the campsite early?
- Include them only in expenses through the day they left. Their balance reflects what they actually participated in.
Enjoy the outdoors. Leave the expense math behind.
Track every cost. Split fairly. Settle before you pack.
