How Spot2Nite Works
Spot2Nite works by connecting campers with RV parks and campgrounds in real time. Campers can use the Spot2Nite website or mobile app (available on IOS and Android) to search for available campsites based on location, dates, amenities, and price. Campers discover and book your campground through Spot2Nite, and commission-free reservations are instantly sent to your park’s property management system (PMS). This is a major savings on commission fee, in comparison to other less-targeted OTAs that typically charge 15-30% per reservation. Operators can also opt for rate parity listings to maintain consistent pricing across platforms, increase visibility, and attract more bookings, as well as gain access to high-value marketing solutions to further promote their park.
Features That Set Spot2Nite Apart
- Real-time Availability: Spot2Nite’s live updates show which campsites are open in real-time through seamless integration with your existing PMS, ensuring travelers only see spots that are available to book for the dates they want and capturing reservations from active RVers on-the-go.
- Advanced Search and Filtering: Spot2Nite’s interactive map and long list of amenities and experiences filters ensure that campers only see listings for spots that meet their unique camping preferences. There are filters for RV equipment, common conveniences like WiFi, fire pits, picnic tables, and full hookups, as well as filters for more obscure amenities like hot tubs and tiki bars. Campers can filter search results based on campground policies, such as whether the site is a 55+ community, accommodates big rigs, or is open year-round. We also offer area attraction tags such as proximity to national parks, landmarks, and experiences like hiking, live music, and natural events for a truly personalized campground booking journey. There’s even a filter for discount programs that your campground may participate in, such as Good Sam, AAA, Military, First Responders, Seniors, and more.
- Pet Friendly Campgrounds: We pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of pet-friendly campground options that feature sought-after amenities like dog parks and pet washing stations.
- Detailed Campground Profiles: Your campground listing on our platform provides travelers with comprehensive details on the property and individual campsites. Each listing includes photos and amenities on-site, as well as area attractions and outdoor experiences nearby, setting your campground apart from the competition and positioning it as a unique destination. Campground owners have full control over their campground listing and can make updates at any time through our user-friendly Operator Dashboard. There are also several targeted advertising solutions to increase your campground’s exposure on the Spot2Nite marketplace.
- Effortless Booking Process: Campers can book a quick overnight stay, full vacation, or multi-stop road trip in just a few clicks under one transaction on Spot2Nite. Unlike other OTAs, Spot2Nite does not charge credit card processing fees, so you’ll earn up to 3% more on every reservation.
- Wide Variety of Camping Options: Available accommodation categories include RV sites, tent camping, and structured lodging like cabins, cottages, and tiny homes, as well as unique glamping stays like yurts, Airstream rentals, safari tents, tipis, treehouses, camper van communities, and more so you can take advantage of free campground marketing for each accommodation your park has available.
While there are several platforms catering to the camping community, Spot2Nite’s blend of unique features, convenience, and focus on the camper’s personal preferences truly sets it apart as the Airbnb of Camping, allowing campground owners to connect with a vast, yet targeted audience for instant booking.
