Shopping for a new Property Management System? Before you decide and commit to a vendor, you'll need to figure out what your RV Park or Campground needs.
Before deciding and committing to an RV park or campground reservation software system, it's essential to begin with a clear understanding of your unique business needs and priorities.
Just as no two RV parks or campgrounds are identical, the reservation system that best suits your business will depend on several key factors. This article is the starting point on the journey to finding the perfect reservation system.
By carefully defining your requirements, considering the size and distinctive features of your operation, and taking into account factors like seasonality and customer preferences, you'll lay a solid foundation for making a well-informed decision.

Consider any unique amenities, rentals, food, or services offered that set you apart from competitors. Do you have more than one park or do you plan to have multiple parks in the future?

Transient, seasonal, or a combination of stay types can have a substantial impact on your reservation system requirements. Consider whether your business experiences high and low seasons, and if you wish to offer different services or rates during specific times.
Additionally, think about your target customer base and their booking and purchase preferences, as these can affect the features you prioritize in a software system.
Your management style, whether hands-on or more hands-off, should also factor into your system choice.
