Campground Operations
Your Campground Should Keep Its Hard Earned Money
I love talking with people that have the passion to run a campground. To me they want to bring people out of the stressful everyday life of the four walls we are always in looking out the window. They want to give people the peaceful feeling of being outdoors if only for a week or two at a time.
They have a big job to do and that is to help people enjoy the outdoors and reset with family and themselves and their mental health. If you run a campground that big job is yours! You are the reason somebody goes home from a week outside feeling like themselves again!
When running a campground costs too much
But what happens when the campground is being overtaken by the financial burden of providing all of this for its guests? The owners have to sell, raise their rates or close altogether. Their dream of helping other people enjoy the outdoors gets destroyed.
We kept hearing that the platforms campgrounds use for their booking system and POS were draining them financially along with the wear and tear of keeping the campground updated. If that is where you are right now, it is scary. You are not the only one.
Go walk your campground tonight after the fires die down and remember why you started because it is worth keeping.
What we built for campgrounds
That is when we had the idea. We can’t help with the rising cost of upkeep and the wear and tear on a campground. But we can build a platform that will not take a dime of your site fees and helps you organize your guest list and gives you a POS. So that is what we did!
It is a campground booking platform where our fee is added on top of your rate and paid by the guest so the whole site fee goes to you. Your guests live in one list with a profile for each of them. Cash and card reader sales through the POS carry no platform fee at all. We would love for campground owners to see how this could help them be successful in so many ways.
The part you do not have to do anything for
We built not only a way for you to keep your profit but also a way to add a service to your campground that you do not pay anything for. Alongside the platform we offer Campfire Concierge services at no extra charge and no extra work for the campground. A Regional Manager assigned to your campground sets up sites for your guests so camping is a hassle free experience for them. What the guest pays for that is split between the Regional Manager and us and nothing comes out of your share.
The best part is this is an addition for your campground! It can help fill empty spots and it gives you a platform that lets you keep your hard earned money and put more money in your pockets with a service you do not have to do anything for.
We are brand new at this so I am telling you that up front. When we talk I will tell you the parts that are still hard too.
If you want to see it for yourself, go fill out the partner application. It asks first whether you are a landowner or a campground and then we talk. If you would rather talk to a person before you fill out one more form I honestly get that. Just email me and I will walk you through the whole thing myself.
Let us help you make your campground successful. What made you want to run one in the first place?
