CampSuite is campsite software written by a motorhomer who kept meeting park owners buried in booking admin. This page is the straight version. Who we are, how the company is set up, and what that means for a park in Kerry, Wicklow or anywhere else on the island.
CampSuite Ireland is not a separate company. CampSuite is a trading name of WorkBee Limited, company number 13120552, registered in England. Ireland is a market we serve in euro, not a subsidiary with a brass plate in Dublin.
That goes near the top of the page on purpose. You are deciding whether to trust a stranger with your season, and anybody who finds this out later feels sold to. Told at the start, you can weigh it up, which is exactly what you should be doing with any supplier who wants your bookings.
What matters more than where a company is registered is what lands in your bank account, what your guests are charged, and who picks up the phone in August when something looks wrong. If any of that decides it for you, ask us before you sign up rather than after.
Three things an Irish operator actually cares about, answered plainly.
Your plan is priced and billed in euro. Nothing on your invoice is a sterling figure quietly converted at whatever the rate was that morning. Free for up to 100 pitches means €0 a month, and the paid plan is quoted in euro before you hand over a card.
Card payments run through your own Stripe account, set up as an Irish business. It takes euro from your guests and pays out by SEPA to your Irish IBAN. The money goes from your guest to your bank. It never sits in ours on the way.
There is no Irish office and we are not going to invent one. There is a number that dials straight from Ireland, +44 1228 581035, there is hello@campsuite.net, and there is somebody who knows the software on the end of both.
I'm Rob. Most of what I know about running a park I learned standing in a reception at half seven in the evening while the owner apologised for the state of the desk. The pattern never changed. Warm, capable people, brilliant with guests, drowning in booking admin. A notebook full of pencil crossings out. A whiteboard that was accurate this morning. So I wrote CampSuite from the passenger seat, parked up on the very fields it was meant for, and kept putting it in front of owners until they ran out of things to pick holes in. My partner and I are still looking for the right spot for a site of our own, which is the other reason it gets built properly.
See what it actually does →Ireland came up long before we did anything about it. Motorhomes and caravans come off the ferries from Britain and France all summer, the Wild Atlantic Way pulls people the length of the country, and a park in Donegal or Clare is doing the same sums about the shoulder season, and the same scramble on a bank holiday weekend, as anyone else. What an Irish park should not have to think about is sterling. Plenty of booking software still makes it.
So that is the part we built properly. You set your nightly rates in euro. Your guests are charged the euro figure you typed, whether that is a touring pitch, a hardstanding, a seasonal, a glamping pod or a night on the motorhome service point. Stripe pays out in euro to your own account. Nothing is converted anywhere along the way, so no guest ever sees an odd rounded number and rings reception about it. If that is the part you are chewing over, the payments page goes through it properly.
Your VAT position is your own, and it is not changed by the software you keep your diary in. We do not collect it, we do not restate it, and we would not presume to tell you how yours works. Same with your listings. If you are listed with Fáilte Ireland or selling through booking channels, that carries on exactly as it does now. And if you are already on another system, moving is the bit everyone dreads, so we do the move with you instead of handing you a CSV file and wishing you luck.
It usually comes near the end of a call, half apologised for. It is the right question. Software firms come and go, and moving a season's bookings twice is nobody's idea of a good year. Nobody can show you a crystal ball, so here is the track record instead.
CampSuite is not a first attempt. I have spent a career designing and building business systems, mostly in .NET, mostly the kind a company cannot trade without. At Park Holidays I designed the synchronisation that kept holiday bookings and customer records in step between the CRM and the accounts system, so reception and accounts were never arguing over different numbers. At M.J Quinn I architected and led the build of the Openreach integration that gives 2,000 telecoms engineers their day's work, in the region of 9,000 installation jobs a day. I co-founded RealCube in 2010 as CTO, wrote the estate agency platform behind it, watched it grow to 204 offices and sold my stake in 2013.
Alongside CampSuite I still work as a solution architect on enterprise systems for water companies, government departments and national service businesses. It is the same discipline a park needs at a different scale. Get the data right, keep the integrations honest, never lose anybody's booking.
The business model matters as much as the CV. CampSuite is not running on investor money with a clock ticking on it. Free up to 100 pitches, a small fee on online bookings, and a monthly plan for parks who would rather cover that fee themselves. It is all on the pricing page with nothing held back, and none of it depends on us being bought by somebody bigger.
It started as a better booking diary. It grew into the thing that runs the site. Bookings from every source in one place, card payments, automatic guest emails, arrivals and departures, job sheets for the morning round, and reports for when the accountant asks. All of it on your phone, which is where you are when you are down the far end of the field in the rain.
Today at a glance. Who is arriving, who is on site, who is leaving and what the week looks like.
Promises are cheap, so here are ones you can check against the pricing page and the contract.
There is no sales floor here working a target, and nobody is going to ring you every Tuesday until you give in. If CampSuite is the wrong fit for your park we will say so, and we will tell you what we think would suit you better. Losing a sale is cheaper than watching somebody fight the wrong software all season.
No, and we will not dress it up. CampSuite is a trading name of WorkBee Limited, company number 13120552, registered in England, serving Ireland as a market in euro. Your billing, your guests' payments and your payouts are all in euro, and your Stripe account is set up as an Irish business paying out to an Irish IBAN.
No. Support is by phone and email, on +44 1228 581035 and hello@campsuite.net. The number is written in international format so it dials straight from an Irish mobile or landline. If you would rather see the software than read about it, book a demo and we will walk you through it on a call.
No. Irish plans are quoted and billed in euro, never in sterling and never converted. Your own rates are set in euro too, so what a guest sees at checkout is the number you typed rather than a conversion of it.
Ireland is a new market for CampSuite and we are not going to invent a list of parks to make it look otherwise. The software itself is not new. It has been running parks day to day in other markets, and the Irish version is the same product, priced in euro, paying out to Irish accounts. Judge it on the free plan rather than on a wall of logos.
You do. Guest records, booking history, notes and reports belong to your park. You can export them whenever you want, and if you ever leave you take them with you. We do not sell anything about your guests to anybody.
There isn't one hiding in the terms. Up to 100 pitches you pay nothing at all, and when a guest books online they pay a flat €1.75 fee on that booking, however many nights, pitches or people it covers. If you would rather your guests never saw a fee, there is a monthly plan where you cover it instead.
Ring +44 1228 581035, email hello@campsuite.net, or start free for up to 100 pitches and judge the software rather than the sales pitch.
