Seasonal Reservations

Want to welcome seasonal campers? You can turn on Seasonal Reservations here. This lets long-term guests book their stay for entire seasons. When you turn this on, you'll see special options just for managing seasonal bookings.

Online Reservations

Let guests book their perfect camping spot right from their computer or phone! When you turn on Online Reservations, you get to choose how payments work:

  • Require Online Payments: Guests must pay when they book
  • Allow Online Payments: Guests can choose to pay now or later
  • No Online Payments: Guests pay when they arrive at your campground. This corresponds to the option "Pay at time of checkin"

Pick the option that works best for you and your Guests!

Campground Maps

Show guests exactly where they'll be staying! You can upload a map of your campground here. This helps guests:

  • See where different camping spots are located
  • Find nearby bathrooms and facilities
  • Choose the perfect spot for their stay

Just upload your map file, and we'll display it to guests when they book.

Your Booking Website

We give you a special website address (URL) just for your campground. You can:

  • Add this link to your main website
  • Share it on social media
  • Put it in emails to your guests

When guests click your link, they'll go straight to your booking page. It's like having your own online reservation desk!
