Campspot, renowned for its comprehensive campground reservation and management software, has announced a new Airbnb direct integration option. This new integration enables campgrounds that use Campspot to manage their listings with greater autonomy.
The first option, introduced in 2022, remains a full-service integration—with listings managed by a third party. Meanwhile, the newly announced option offers direct integration, putting parks in control of their listings. This further alleviates administrative tasks, empowering owners to focus on delivering superior guest experiences.
Reflecting on the integration, Erin Forrest of CRR Hospitality, noted, “We see a lot of value in this integration.”
“We will be able to have more units available for booking OTAs and it will drastically reduce the amount of time our reservation team spends on OTA bookings. When it comes to rates, availability, length of stay restrictions, etc., instead of setting up those rules and adjusting rates in both Campspot and the OTA, the integration will be a one-stop shop to make these updates,” she added.
Powered by DerbySoft, the new integration allows for a seamless management experience. It also gives campgrounds full control of all guest communications, ensuring all interactions align with their brand standards and operational strategies.
Another advantage of this direct integration is the broader exposure it offers to campgrounds. By leveraging Airbnb’s extensive platform, campgrounds can attract a wider audience, enhancing their visibility in a competitive market.
Furthermore, the DerbySoft-powered integration simplifies the management of Airbnb listings by synchronizing with Campspot’s system. This ensures up-to-date information on rates, rules, and availability, minimizing the risk of overbookings and streamlining operations for campground owners.
The new integration is a cost-effective solution that avoids third-party intermediary fees, thus lowering costs for campground operators. This is particularly beneficial for smaller campgrounds operating on limited budgets.
