Spot2Nite Secures $3M in Funding for Expansion and Modernization of Campground Reservation Industry

Spot2Nite, an online travel agency (OTA) in the campground industry, has recently closed a successful Series A round of funding.

As per a release, the funding round was led by a Family Office based in Chicago, IL, along with participation from several venture firms, and marks a significant milestone for the company as it looks to expand its operations and modernize the campground reservation industry.

Built by a family of avid RVers, Spot2Nite aims to revolutionize how campers find and book RV spots in campgrounds.

The platform addresses the common challenge of wasting time searching for available spots only to find none by providing a centralized marketplace that aggregates real-time availability and pricing and offers filters for rig requirements and preferences. This streamlined approach has resonated with campers, resulting in strong customer retention rates and a notable increase in reservations booked through Spot2Nite.

The recent funding infusion and Spot2Nite’s rapid revenue growth will enable the company to expand its core team and resources to support property management system integrations and distribution channel partners.

The goal is to expand the inventory of RV spots and develop processes for other types of campground lodging, such as cabins, glamping wagons, and yurts, which require additional variables in terms of reservation requirements.

Sam Bruner, co-founder and COO of Spot2Nite expressed excitement about the funding round and the company’s plans, stating, “Outpacing growth milestones has allowed Spot2Nite to earn this investment with goals to not only expand our RV spot inventory but also develop the appropriate processes to aggregate availability and pricing of more robust campground lodgings, verticals like cabins, glamping wagons, and yurts which require many additional variables in terms of reservation requirements,” says Sam Bruner, co-founder and COO of Spot2Nite. “This funding opens a new chapter of growth for Spot2Nite and will invite new types of campers to use our website and mobile app platforms. It truly is a testament to the many campground and RV traveler communities that have supported our vision. I am incredibly proud of the team that we have brought together to build a world-class technology platform.”

The Family Office that led the funding round also expressed confidence in Spot2Nite’s innovative approach and success in other verticals, stating, “Spot2Nite represents an overdue modernization of the RV and campground reservation industry, accelerating what independent campgrounds and booking engines have been unable to do: providing a consistent, modern experience for users and operators, a model that has defined the hotel, airline, and car rental markets for the last 20+ years. Spot2Nite’s team has proven success in other verticals that gives us confidence in their ability to execute and return value to investors. We look forward to continuing to support Spot2Nite in their growth journey,” says the Family Office.

Skip Boudreaux of Acadian Capital Ventures, another venture firm that participated in the funding round, expressed excitement about partnering with Spot2Nite, stating, “We are proud to partner with Sam and Terry as they continue to grow Spot2Nite as the premier RV reservation solution. Having followed Spot2Nite closely for two years, we are constantly impressed by the team’s tenacity and innovative approach to the RV industry with a solution and culture that puts RV’ers first,”

Spot2Nite’s success and the recent funding round highlight the increasing demand for a modernized and efficient approach to campground reservations. By providing a centralized marketplace with real-time availability and pricing information, Spot2Nite has become a go-to platform for campers, increasing reservations for campground operators and providing a convenient booking experience for travelers.

As Spot2Nite embarks on its next chapter of growth with the support of the recent funding round, the company is poised to continue its mission of modernizing the campground reservation industry and making camping and RV travel more accessible and enjoyable for campers of all types. With plans to expand its team, integrate with property management systems, and broaden its inventory to include other types of campground lodging, Spot2Nite is well-positioned to shape the future of campground reservations.

As Spot2Nite continues to grow and evolve, campers can look forward to an improved and streamlined reservation experience, while campground operators can benefit from increased reservations and revenue.
