Custom Booking Systems for Campgrounds, Hostels & Small Lodging

Often you should not, and we will say so. Off-the-shelf reservation software works well for many parks. Custom starts to make sense when the product charges a fee on every reservation, when it is built for big RV parks and fights the way a small place actually runs, or when you sell very different kinds of stay that a generic system handles badly. Those were the reasons behind the Jeff Davises build.

Yes. That is the hard part, and the reason the system exists. Phone and walk-in bookings go into the same calendar as online ones from the back office, and the database makes sure two channels cannot sell the same bed twice.

The Jeff Davises engine syncs both ways with Hipcamp today. Whether another channel can be connected, and how closely, depends on what that platform makes available to outside software. We check that for your specific channels before quoting, rather than promising it up front.

Yes, with care. The Jeff Davises engine replaced an earlier booking system that had real guests holding real confirmation codes, and the move went through without losing a booking. Planning the cutover is part of the project, not an afterthought.

It depends on how many kinds of stay you sell, which channels need to sync and what the back office has to do, so we quote after a conversation rather than from a price list. Consultations and quotes are free.

Yes.
