Automate your campground

PROS

I depend daily on the online bookings, the rate management, and photos of each site. I love that customers can automate their billing - I never see their credit card number, which builds trust.I manage 100% of this from remote. My manager has her own account with limited access and she can do much of the work from a tablet at her house. It's a great tool.

CONS

Managing my rates is very complex. If you want different rates per site type, with discounts based on the number of days they stay, then it gets to be a challenge to set up.

Reason for choosing Firefly Reservations

Excellent features, no minimum number of bookings / month, and reasonable price

Reasons for switching to Firefly Reservations

Online reservation. Remote management.

Understandable and it works.

This is a breath of fresh air. We come from Campspot where everything seems a mystery. I look for a product that can basically be understood by clicking around and seeing how its laid out. This product is simple to use. It allows us to enter a group of summer requests without credit cards etc and play around with who goes where. Then call and lock in the customers. We can easily see who is locked in with a credit card deposit right on the reservation spread. It has contactless registration, a tenant portal and even Kiosk support. Kind of Covid friendly. It also has a very easy to use Point of sale. My staff was able to run this with minimum training.

PROS

This software is simple to understand. Easy to use. New staff can train in quickly. As the owner I can understand how to edit rates, units and anything I need. So refreshing. And when I have a problem I email support and get an answer silly fast. (from someone who understands the question lol)

CONS

Im looking. .. So far I don't have a complaint. I just wanted camp software I could understand to handle reservations and payments.

Reason for choosing Firefly Reservations

Firefly gave free access to the program to test it. Such a simple concept. The others wanted to give a demo to hide the warts. It was just so understandable, I started to set up our campground to play around and suddenly I was doing stuff our software couldn't do without any training. It sold itself Could not be happier.

Reasons for switching to Firefly Reservations

Struggled with changing pricing and controlling the system.

Great Customer Service

PROS

The greatest thing about this software is the customer service behind it. If we ever have questions they are just a phone call away. They are constantly updating the software to accommodate our needs as a seasoanl campground. Functionality, ease of access, and overall layout of the software is great.

CONS

Would like more help in the initial phases of set up/getting started.

Perfect solution for retooling during COVID

We needed to retool a summer youth camp into a campground during 2020 when family camping was the only thing permitted. After some research, Firefly seemed the easiest to implement and did not require a flood of money to begin or long-term commitment. The software allowed us to manage the new campground with minimal staff and no calendar glitches. Their support people understood our predicament and unique challenges of not being a "usual" campground and were very helpful and responsive.

PROS

There was no part of the set-up that was done on the company end. It was wonderful to just dig in and make it work for our unique operation. It is also easily taught to others and doesn't require a full-time registrar. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was amazing with customer support and added in features soon after they were requested. There are some features we haven't tried yet but use use others in creative ways - especially custom emails and exporting customers for mail-merge. Especially love the "buffer" that can be placed between rentals to meet the requirements for cleaning between guests.

CONS

It needs integration with other calendar programs. There is no way to email ALL of the dBase - sending a newsletter this way would be nice. We are not using the POS program as it seems clunky as compared to Square. I assume this will be streamlined in the future.

Reason for choosing Firefly Reservations

They wanted too many signatures and insisted on doing a lot of the setup. We preferred to set things up ourselves.

Great starting point but needs to evolve

My experience with FireFly has been outstanding, but I need the next evolution of the platform in order for me to stay on board. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is awesome and extremely responsive, I feel like we are along for the ride with him and the platform and I like being in the know of where his efforts are heading. If you all shift your energies and fill the void in the marketplace, I am sure you all can secure a product that is greatly differentiated from the rest of the platforms.

PROS

The setup of the software was simple and fast. Within an hour of first opening our account, I has the ability to embed a usable link on our website. It was great and with the assistance of [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (who is always responsive and attentive), we had a viable product within 24 hours. The reservation grid is a great feature and provide quick access I need to make guest relations readily available.

CONS

It is a web-based program. I need an app-based program to integrate with our business systems. Many businesses in the Agri-tourism industry, like ours, use POS systems like Clover because it affords us the ability to be agile and cover several vertically integrate enterprises and functions on one platform. I love firefly, but it requires me to use a personal laptop and separate processor for card services. My number one complaint is that Firefly does not integrate with Clover POS systems. Full disclosure -- no matter how much I like FireFly, the minute I find a reservation platform that does integrate onto our system, I will be switching. There is a huge void in the fastest growing outdoor market (small glamping operations with multiple lines of revenue) for the first to do this.

Reason for choosing Firefly Reservations

Faster to get a viable reservation platform to the market through FireFly versus other products.
