Meet the Founders Behind Hookhub

Built by people who lived the problem

Hookhub was created by founders who know firsthand how fragile RV life can feel when safe, affordable parking disappears overnight. What began as a personal disruption became a commitment to build something better, not just for RV travelers, but for the landowners who make this lifestyle possible. We believe private land should be easier to share, easier to trust, and easier to use for both short stays and long-term RV parking.

We’re not here to “disrupt” for the sake of disruption. We’re here to restore stability, dignity, and trust to a growing way of life by making RV parking on private land simpler and safer for everyone involved.

The Problem That Started It All

🏕️
August 2022: The Spark

Caylee was living full-time in her RV at a peaceful park she’d called home. Without warning, the park was sold, leaving her and countless others scrambling for safe, affordable parking.

💡
The Realization

I realized this wasn’t just my problem, it was a massive gap in the market. Millions of RV travelers needed better options, and landowners had unused space that could generate income.

September 2022: Building Begins

With her full-stack engineering background, Caylee began coding the first version of HookHub, the platform she wished existed when she was desperately searching for parking.

Our Values

👥
Freedom First

We believe freedom is the foundation of fulfillment. We build tools that remove barriers — giving people the ability to live, earn, and explore on their own terms. No gatekeepers. No unnecessary rules. Just open roads and open possibilities

🤝
Self Reliance

Figure it out, fix it, forge ahead. We take ownership, solve problems, and stay resourceful. We figure it out, fix it, and forge ahead.

Empower Others

We help others succeed — our hosts, our renters, and each other — by providing tools, knowledge, and support that strengthen independence rather than dependence.

📈
Respect the Land

We honor the spaces that sustain this lifestyle by promoting responsible hosting, conservation, and care for the natural world.

💪
Real and Reliable

No corporate gloss. No empty promises. We show up honest, human, and transparent — the same way we’d expect from a good neighbor on the trail.

Meet Our Founders

Caylee Shea Harrington
Founder & CEO

Caylee built Hookhub from inside the problem it was meant to solve.

After living full-time in her RV and losing access to long-term parking without warning, she experienced firsthand how unstable RV life can become when safe, affordable options disappear. Existing platforms didn’t serve RVers or landowners fairly, so she decided to build what didn’t exist.

With over seven years of full-stack engineering experience, Caylee personally designed and coded the first version of Hookhub from the ground up. What began as a solution to her own need quickly became a platform supporting thousands of RVers and landowners across the country.

Her background spans software architecture, community leadership, and entrepreneurship. FormerDirector at Women Who Code, where she focused on mentorship, access, and building inclusive technical communities.

At Hookhub, Caylee leads product development with a focus on fairness, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Every feature is built with the question: does this actually make life better for the people using it?

"I lived the problem. I felt the panic of losing a place to stay. Hookhub exists because people deserve better options than that."
