Campground Booking An easy to use campground management software that allows RV park owners the ability to manage their guests and accept online reservations.

A note from cofounder and CEO, Heath Padgett:

For the past two and a half years I've traveled to all 50 states while RVing across the country. As I've gotten to know the RV and travel community/industry, I became intimately familiar with the problem of online reservations. As of now, many campgrounds across the country don't accept online reservations on their website. To help solve this issue, w

e've created a free campground management software that easily integrates with their website, manages their guests, and allows them the ability to accept online reservations (we earn our revenue off of a small convenience fee to campers upon the credit card transaction). I believe that in order to move forward this RV and camping industry, we have to really push the envelope. This is why, instead of charging upwards of $3-5k/year for our software (like other similar platforms), we are giving it away for free. Our longterm goal with CampgroundBooking is to work with other companies in this industry to help solve the problem of online reservations, so that it's ridiculously easy and stress free for campers to find and book campgrounds.

This is a truly legendary lazy river at Jamaica Beach RV Resort if you were looking for inspiration for your campground's next water feature. 😎

We are looking forward to seeing everyone for Memorial Day weekend.

We are currently booked for this weekend.

A few quick reminders about this upcoming weekend:

-no outside guests will be allowed, all guest must be checked at the site during the checkin process. (This is to keep our occupancy low so our pools can be at less then the required 25% occupancy as mandated by Governor Abbots Executive Orders GA-23-

-for our “floaters” if you can bring tubes for the river that would be awesome, we do have some for sale in the office, we are still awaiting our tube supply that is held up in customs, plus your own tube limits the contact of others.
