Does Campspot charge per campsite?

No. Campspot does not charge per site, so a site that is not booked generates no fee. Most parks load their full inventory at onboarding, including sites they are not actively renting, which gives accurate availability across the property and avoids a second setup later.

Can the reservation fee be passed on to guests?

Yes. Many parks add a surcharge to customer orders to offset the Campspot reservation fee, and custom site rates and fees can be configured through the administrative tools.

Does Campspot require special hardware?

No. Campspot is an online application, so it needs only an internet connection and a computer with a modern web browser; the company recommends the latest version of Google Chrome. Updates are released to all customers at once at no extra cost, with nothing to download or install.

Reservation & booking systems

Campspot

Campspot is cloud-based reservation and management software for campgrounds and RV parks, paired with the Campspot Marketplace, a consumer booking channel. It serves more than 3,500 private and public parks across the United States and Canada, including private RV parks and campgrounds, public and municipal parks, franchises, multi-park groups and investment groups.

The platform offers grid, map and list reservation views, a programmatic optimization algorithm that arranges bookings across site inventory, lock-site capability, multi-site reservations, recurring guest billing, point of sale, a housekeeping dashboard, express check-in and e-signature, offline reservation capability, cash and accrual accounting, unlimited users and devices, user-created business rules and visual analytics dashboards. Integrations include Mailchimp, HubSpot, Iterable and SimpleTexting for marketing, one-way and two-way texting, Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo channels and a customizable online booking API; some of these carry additional fees. Revenue management tools include occupancy prediction and pricing recommendations.

Commercial terms are simple by design: no software setup fees, no onboarding fees and no long-term contracts, monthly billing, and a guest-paid booking fee on online reservations in the standard Growth Package. There is no per-site charge, so sites that are not booked cost nothing, which is why the company encourages parks to load their full inventory at onboarding. Separate packages exist for single parks, public parks and enterprise multi-park operators, and every customer gets a dedicated Market Manager for setup plus a self-guided certification course.

Campspot started in 2015 with a group of campground owners who found that nearly half of United States campgrounds were not taking online reservations. It is headquartered at 38 Commerce Ave SW, Grand Rapids, Michigan, with employee hubs in Denver and Chicago, operates as Rezplot Systems, LLC, and cites the 2022 ARVC Supplier of the Year Award and a 2022 American Glamping Award.
