Holiday park and campsite websites and bookings
ROISynth builds holiday parks and campsites a booking site that sells each pitch type on its own terms — tent, tourer, lodge — and sends arrival details before guests lose signal down the lane, with every returning family remembered.
A wet Sunday evening in January. You are at the kitchen table with a spreadsheet of pitches, a notebook of phone bookings and an inbox full of families asking whether the riverside pitches are free for the second week of August.
Some of them booked the same pitch last year and the year before. Nothing in the spreadsheet says so.
A campsite is sold in the winter and used in the summer, and the people who fill it are mostly the people who filled it last year.
Who this page is for
Holiday parks, caravan parks, campsites and glamping sites: businesses that sell pitches and units of several different kinds, take most of the year’s bookings in a short winter rush, welcome the same families season after season, and often sit where the phone signal gives up before the gate.
What does ROISynth build for a holiday park?
A booking site where each pitch type is its own product with its own dates and prices — a grass pitch for a tent is not an electric hardstanding for a motorhome — and where the booking and the payment are taken together. The arrival pack goes out before the journey: gate code, arrival times, the site map, what to do if the office is shut.
And a guest record that knows the family who have had pitch fourteen for three summers, so you can offer it to them before anyone else sees it.
What goes wrong on a campsite that doesn’t in a hotel?
The stock is mixed. A hotel room is a hotel room; you are selling tent pitches, tourer pitches, hook-ups, pods and lodges, each with a different size limit and price, and a booking system that treats them as one thing lets somebody book a pitch their caravan won’t fit.
And the site is out of reach once people are on it. A question asked from a field with one bar of signal is a question that should have been answered before they left home.
How do bookings reach a holiday park?
In a flood after Christmas and a trickle all summer. The winter bookings are the whole year: families planning the holidays, clubs booking rallies, the regulars wanting their usual pitch.
Every one of them asks something first — is there a hook-up, are dogs allowed, can we bring a gazebo — and the pitch they wanted is decided by whoever replied properly first.
How does it fit around running the site?
The office is open when it’s open, and the booking page takes the rest. Bookings land on one view of the site, pitch by pitch, so the warden walking the field is looking at the same picture as the office.
When the season closes, last year’s guests are offered next year’s dates before they go on general sale, without anyone writing a hundred emails.
What does a holiday park own at the end?
The booking site, every booking and the list of families who came, held in your own accounts, with the code belonging to you.
Seasons of returning guests are the most valuable thing a park has. Keeping that list yourself means it does not leave with a booking platform or a member of staff.
What actually changes, in the order it matters to you.
- Orders arrive without anyone writing them down.
- Money's collected, receipts go out, and nothing gets chased.
- Every customer hears from you at the right moment, and nobody sends one by hand.
- A customer's history is remembered forever, so nobody re-explains anything.
- One screen tells you where everything stands.
- The whole thing runs while you sleep, and costs almost nothing while it does.
- Pages get written for the things people are actually searching for.
The audit will show you what a family planning next summer finds when they search for campsites near the coast on a winter evening, and whether your pitches are bookable from it.
Questions people ask
- Can tent pitches, tourer pitches and lodges be booked separately?
- Yes. Each pitch type is its own product with its own dates and prices, so a grass pitch for a tent is not an electric hardstanding for a motorhome.
- Our site has poor signal. How do guests get the arrival details?
- The arrival pack goes out before the journey: gate code, arrival times, the site map, what to do if the office is shut.
- Can returning families have first refusal on their usual pitch?
- Yes. A guest record knows the family who have had pitch fourteen for three summers, so you can offer it to them before anyone else sees it.
- Does the warden see the same bookings as the office?
- Yes. Bookings land on one view of the site, pitch by pitch, so the warden walking the field is looking at the same picture as the office.
