About Open Campground

Open Campground is a multi-lingual reservation management solution that helps RV parks and campgrounds streamline processes related to discount configuration, space management, and guest check-ins, among other processes on a centralized platform. The group reservation tool allows employees to create wagonmasters and allocate spaces based on arrival and departure dates and requested sites.

Open Campground enables staff members to utilize the site availability calendar to color-code and track reservations based on status, such as not checked in, occupied, reserved, and unavailable. It allows team members to create camper profiles, change reservation dates, manage cancelations, track reservation lists, handle check-outs, and more from within a unified platform. Additionally, it lets supervisors create custom reports to monitor occupancy rates, transactions, payments, space utilization, and reservations.

Open Campground allows organizations to process payments using third-party tools, such as PayPal and CardConnect. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via documentation, discussion forums, phone, email, and other online measures.

    I never have double bookings any more with this system. Love being able to easily send update emails or reminder emails, which is handy when folks book a month or two or more in advance. LOVE LOVE the group reservation. So handy since I have many groups a year reserving 10 or more sites. The fact the Norm is only as far away as my computer keyboard - he is so quick to answer/resolve any issues I am confronted with. He can fix anything.

    Pros:
    This is the perfect product for campgrounds that want a simple but effective Reservation software. It is easy to learn and to use. The price is also affordable unlike most software packages that want a fee plus a percentage of your site rental.
    Cons:
    I am still learning the product but am very happy overall.

    Was forced to find an alternative and manually transfer hundreds of existing reservations into the new system. Campground master has a slick import tool for our thousands of customers info into it. Norm must have sold Open Campground as he would have never let these terrible experiences happen to his belovid software.

    Pros:
    Legacy version worked great, did everything we needed and was reasonably priced. Had been using for almost 15 years with very few issues. When there was an ussue Norm was on it immediately.
    Cons:
    Received an email evening before that old platform was changing and to use “new” system. New system has limited functions, was not ready to launch. Full of bugs and could’nt even calculate the taxes correctly. Tried to have them call me, never happened. Software not working, they won’t accept emails. Pointed me to a ticket system for problems and opened a medium priority ticket for us.

    Great basic reservation software

    5

    After having used costly software at a much larger campground, I was very happy to find Open Campground. Ours is only 80 sites, with about 1/2 seasonals, but we do have a variety of rates by site type, season and mid-week vs weekend, and the software allows for all of that. As with any program, there are times I need to over-ride a rate, but that is quick and easy. I have had a few minor issues along the way, but the best part is that ANY TROUBLE I have had has been resolved very quickly after emailing the designer. I get a rapid response, and it is corrected shortly thereafter. We have used the cloud based system, and just started taking the on-line reservations this year. Feel free to use the demo program to the full extent, so you can see what you are able to do. Would strongly recommend this program for other campgrounds.

    The main PRO for Open Campground is cost. From there it is ease of use. It does all of the basics you need for a small park. There are some CONS however. Some of the reports don't work like they should and managing measured add-ons is problematic. The one CON that makes the software almost unusable is the inability to extend a stay beyond a single day at a time. This is a major flaw. You are able to set up rates based on one day, one week or one month but the only increment the software allows is one day at a time. So if you have a camper that comes in for a week and then decides to stay three more days, as an example, you have to do it one day at a time. Worse yet, if you have a special rate for a weeks stay and the camper decides to stay another week the software will not allow you to extend the stay at that rate even day by day. So you have check the guest out and then do a whole new reservation for the additional week. This flaw also applies to monthly stays as well. So if you have a park full of guests that want to extend their stay beyond one day you are stuck doing hours of work checking out and checking back in guests! Other than that, it does what it does and for the price, well, it has its uses. However, over time the hours required to do all of the extra work for stay extensions may justify spending the crazy prices for other campground software packages.

    The extend button is not the only way to extend a stay. One can simply 'show' the reservation and change the dates of the stay. The extend button is only intended for a one or two day extension. You do not have to do a new reservation to change the dates of the reservation.

    Great for our small campground.

    We have a small rv park, just 30 sites, so when I started researching software, I was shocked at how expensive they all were. Plus some charged per reservation. We simply couldn't afford it and it didn't make sense. Through research I came across open campground. It is inexpensive, works fine for our needs, and Norm is great at customer service. Sure, it's not perfect, but what software is and he keep improving it. I don't have experience with other reservations software but I'm sure they all have things you wish were a little different. For the price, I'll take this!

    We are a co-op mobile home/RV park with 100 homes and 38 RV sites. Managing the RV part was a disaster on paper waiting to happen. We started using camp hosts, which worked great to take off the extra load on our office person. Problem, was every camphost changed/modified our paper system. Going with Norm was fab. Solved our problems with having staff quoting correct prices, finding spaces, being able to describe sites etc. Norm has been great, making minor changes to his program to better fit our needs.

    While I don't have experience with other campground software, Open Campground has worked very well for us. It has helped us increase sales and with their management of the server, has been absolutely hassle free. The ease of use and remote access on computer and phone has allowed us to have an online reservation system without high costs. Customer service is just an email away. My only issues have been of my own making.
