Campspot, an online marketplace for RV resorts, family campgrounds, cabins, glamping options and more, today announced that it has generated more than $850 million for campgrounds in 2021, representing an increase of 116 percent year-over-year and marking the fastest growth year to date in its six year history.
Campspot launched in 2015 with its software-as-a-service product that provides campground owners with tools to better manage bookings and grow revenue. Since January 2021, Campspot has added more than 700 new campgrounds, increasing its total park portfolio to roughly 20 percent of private campgrounds in North America. Parks using Campspot’s software saw a 75 percent year-over-year increase in revenue on average, the company said, significantly higher than the 25 percent to 45 percent reported increases by other industry groups.
Due to various product releases throughout 2021, campground owners also reported nearly $25 million year-to-date from add-on revenue alone. Notable features released this year include guest text messaging, streamlined reservation process, improved page-load time for customers and customization options for e-check in. Self-service cancellation tools, enhanced point-of-sale capabilities and other new features are being tested and expected to launch in early 2022.
