Inc. announced that Campspot, for the 3rd consecutive year, earned a spot on the Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
Campspot ranks No. 794 this year among the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Campspot, a leading software provider for campgrounds and online marketplace for RV resorts, family campgrounds, cabins, glamping options and more, powers over 2,300 private campgrounds and provides campers access to over 250,000 campsites across North America. In addition, Campspot was recognized as the 26th fastest-growing company in the travel and hospitality segment, 15th in the state of Michigan, and No. 2 in Grand Rapids.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring challenges, the company said. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637%.
2024 has been a year of focused effort on enhancing and expanding Campspot’s capabilities to better serve campgrounds. More than 14 integrations were launched to streamline campground operations, including:
- Wild Energy: Automates the collection and input of meter readings, saving time and reducing errors
- Remote Lock: Enables campgrounds to generate access codes for gated areas, enhancing security and convenience
- Inex Tech Gate Control: Scans vehicle license plates to automatically open gates for approved vehicles, improving guest experience and park efficiency
- POS Integrations: Expanded point-of-sale integrations suite with Lightspeed Restaurant and Lightspeed Retail, offering campgrounds more flexibility in managing their retail and dining operations
- Accounting: Integration connects Campspot to widely-used accounting tools, simplifying financial management
- HubSpot: Connects Campspot with an industry-leading CRM and marketing platform, empowering campgrounds to enhance guest engagement and marketing efforts
- OTA Integration enhancements: Improving OTA integrations, including the launch of a direct connection with top travel brands, broadening campgrounds’ reach to new guests
Beyond integrations, Campspot introduced features designed to make campground day-to-day operations even smoother like Remaining Balance Auto Charge, which automatically charges guests prior to arrival, ensuring payments are collected on time, or Recurring Miscellaneous Charges, which allows parks to set up recurring charge rules for monthly guests, making long-term stays easier to manage. Other features like Campspot’s Availability Calendar now shows all site types offered by the park, even if they’re unavailable for the selected date range, and the new Mobile Check-In feature provides a seamless check-in experience for guests on the go, the company said.
“From integrations to new features, this year has seen us heavily invest in several updates to our reservations system to improve usability and give parks more control,” said Michael Scheinman, Campspot’s CEO. “2024 is shaping up to be another groundbreaking year for Campspot. We’ve introduced innovations that empower campgrounds to operate more efficiently and effectively, but we’re not stopping here. The third year of recognition by Inc. 5000 demonstrates our commitment to delivering value through our products and services to help our valued campground customers thrive.
