For campgrounds and RV parks
“Will my rig fit?” Answer it before they call.
I build direct booking websites for independent campgrounds and RV parks. Sites that show every kind of site clearly, speak to the overnight, seasonal and monthly guest, and help Google and ChatGPT recommend you to campers planning a trip through your area.
Get a free site checkWhat campers are deciding
They aren't just picking a park. They're picking a site.
A hotel guest wants to know if the room is nice. A camper needs to know if their 38-foot fifth wheel can make the turn, whether the site has 50 amp, and if both dogs are welcome. If the website doesn't say, they call. Or they don't, and book the park down the road that already answered.
Every question your website answers is one less call for your front desk and one less camper who gives up. Those same clear answers are what Google and AI assistants look for when someone asks where to stay.

Before they call
Can my rig fit, and what's at the site?
Every kind of site gets its own clear answers, with photos. Campers pick the right site the first time, and your phone rings with fewer of the same questions.
| Kind of site | Hookups | Power | Fits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pull-through, full hookup | Water, sewer, electric | 50 amp | Up to 45 ft. Class A, fifth wheels | Big rigs passing through |
| Back-in, full hookup | Water, sewer, electric | 30 or 50 amp | Up to 35 ft. Travel trailers, Class C | Weekends and monthly stays |
| Back-in, water and electric | Water, electric | 20 or 30 amp | Vans, pop-ups, small trailers | Short stays, tents with power |
| Water only | Water | None | Tents, vans, small trailers | Budget camping |
| Tent site | Water nearby | None | Tents | Families and weekend trips |
Rig size and layout
Longest rig that fits, pull-through or back-in, room for slide-outs, how level the pads are, and which rigs work best: Class A, fifth wheel, travel trailer or van.
Hookups
Full hookup, water and electric, or water only. Sewer at the site or a dump station. Say it for every kind of site.
Power
20, 30 or 50 amp. A big rig needs 50. A tent camper may only need 20 for a small heater or a hot plate.
Getting in
The turn off the highway, low branches or bridges, gravel roads and how check-in works after the office closes.
Pets and park rules
How many pets, any breed limits, quiet hours, and rig age rules if you have them. Better to know before they drive in.
What is on site
Wi-Fi that reaches the back row, laundry, showers, propane, a camp store, the pool or the river. Show it with real photos.
More than RV sites now
Many parks now add cabins, glamping tents, day passes or event space. Each one is a different guest with different questions, so each gets its own page and its own way to book. The RV guest and the cabin guest should never land on the same page and have to sort it out.
Who your park is for
One night, one season, or one year
Most parks serve more than one of these guests. Each searches, books and asks differently, so the homepage should send each one to the right place in a tap.
Passing through
A night or two
A pull-through near the highway, late check-in and a site they can book on a phone the same day. Most find you on Google Maps.
Weekend and vacation campers
A few nights
Photos, amenities, things to do nearby and tent or cabin options for the family. They compare a few parks before they book.
Winter Texans
The season
Seasonal rates, what is going on at the park, and a site they can come back to. Many drive down from the Midwest and Canada and return every year.
Monthly and year-round
A month to a year
A real monthly price, what it includes, how electric is billed, deposits and rules, mail, and Wi-Fi they can work on.
Tent and budget campers
A night or a weekend
No RV, and happy to pay for an RV site with water, or water and 20 amp for a heater or a hot plate. They just need to know which sites they can use.
Extended stays
The monthly guest is a different customer.
More RV parks are building around long stays. Trade press points to a few reasons: housing that costs more every year, crews working near new data centers and warehouses, and retirees who would rather live in their RV than keep up a house.
Around New Braunfels, parks advertise monthly full-hookup sites starting from about $450 to $700. Most include water, sewer and trash, and bill electric separately. A monthly guest is comparing exactly that, so the website should say it plainly.
Many parks mix both kinds of guests. That works when the website keeps them apart: one path for a night or a weekend, another for the month or the season.
What a monthly page should answer
- A starting monthly price, not "call for details"
- What is included: water, sewer, trash, Wi-Fi
- How electric is billed, and about what it runs
- Deposit, minimum stay and lease terms
- Rig rules, like age or condition, if you have them
- Mail and packages, pets, and parking for a second vehicle
- An inquiry or application form that goes straight to you
Campers come back
Marketplaces find new campers. Your website keeps them.
Camping is a repeat business. RVers take the same route every year, Winter Texans come back every season, and families return to the spot their kids loved. Hipcamp and other marketplaces are good at bringing in someone new, and they charge for it. Hipcamp takes 15% from most private landowners.
A camper who already knows you shouldn't have to go through a marketplace to book again. Your own website gives them a direct way back, and gives you their email for next season.

Found when campers ask
Every kind of camper searches differently
- “Pull-through RV site off I-35 tonight”
- “Monthly RV park near New Braunfels with full hookups”
- “Tent camping with electric near Canyon Lake”
That's how campers search now, on Google, on Maps and in ChatGPT. At Comal Inn, about 1 in 10 website visits now come from AI assistants. They recommend places whose websites clearly say what they offer, where they are and who they're for.
I also add behind-the-scenes code that tells Google you're a campground or RV park, with your amenities and location, in a format it reads directly.
Works with the tools you have
I build around the reservation system you already use, so your site map, rates and checkout stay where they are. If it has an interactive site map, I put it front and center.
- Campspot
- CampLife
- Firefly
- Newbook
- RoverPass
And others. Still taking reservations by phone? Ask me where to start.
Where to start
Pick the one that fits
- Direct booking websiteYou have reservation software and need a website that answers questions and takes bookings
- AI and search visibilityCampers planning a route through your area never hear your name
- Site and listing auditNot sure what to fix first
- MicrositeA few tent or RV sites on Hipcamp, with no reservation software yet
- Care planYour website works, and you want someone checking it every month
Questions owners ask
Fair questions
Do I need a page for every site?
No. One page for each kind of site, like full-hookup pull-throughs, back-in sites, water-only sites and tent sites, plus your site map. That gives campers what they need without a hundred pages that all look the same to Google.
Should monthly stays have their own page?
Yes. A monthly guest has different questions, a different price and a different way of booking than someone staying two nights. Give them their own page, linked from the homepage, so neither guest has to dig.
Should I post my monthly rates?
At least a starting price. Monthly guests compare parks, and many skip the ones that only say to call. Say what is included and how electric is billed, so the price they see is the price they expect.
Can tent campers book my RV sites?
If you allow it, say so, and say which sites. A tent camper who needs water, or water and a little power, is often happy to pay for an RV site. If the website doesn’t say they can, most won’t ask.
My reservation software came with a booking page. Why do I need a website?
The booking page takes reservations, and it should stay. The website is what answers the questions first, shows up on Google, tells campers why your park is worth the drive and sends them to that booking page ready to book.
Most campers find me on Google Maps. Does my website matter?
Yes. Your Maps listing links to your website, and Google reads your site to check what you are, what you offer and where you are. When the two agree, you are easier to trust and easier to recommend, for Google and for AI assistants.
Have you worked with campgrounds before?
Comal Inn is a 5-unit property, not a campground. What gets guests to book direct is the same: clear answers, a site that is fast on a phone, a booking path with few taps, and being found on Google and in AI answers. What is different about your park, the site types, hookups and rules, is what we work through first.
Should I stop using Hipcamp or other marketplaces?
No. Marketplaces help new campers find you. The goal is for the ones who come back, and the ones a friend sent, to book with you directly.
What does it cost?
Websites start at $2,500, plus $25 a month for hosting and care. Parks with many site types or a lot of pages may be quoted higher. Every project gets a written quote first. If you want to start smaller, a site and listing audit is $249.
