The short version
CampManager is a park-management system built around the reception desk of a larger park, sold on commercial pricing for its full feature set. It does a lot, and you pay for all of it whether your site uses it or not.
CampSuite is the campsite operating system that just works. Bookings, payments, the listing sites, arrivals, the team and the guest journey run in one system, on your phone, in seven languages, and it bends to the way you run your site: touring, seasonals, statics, glamping, one park or several. It was built by a motorhomer with the site operators who run on it, and 55 parks across the UK and Europe use it today.
For a CL, a touring park or a holiday park with seasonals and statics, CampSuite is the better system: it covers what you use, it is quicker to set up, it costs less, and it works where you work.

Everything the site needs, in one system
- The diary. Every pitch, pod, lodge and static on one screen, on your phone first. A pitch sold once is closed everywhere.
- Online booking. Live availability and card payment on your own website or WordPress site, with no commission on the booking.
- Payments. Deposits and balances by card through Stripe Connect, straight into your own bank, with cash and transfers recorded against the booking.
- Pricing that fits your site. Seasons, weekend rates, electric supplements, per-person pricing, minimum stays and changeover days, set the way you run things.
- Channel manager. Pitchup, Campsites.co.uk, Hipcamp and others read the same diary, from Grow.
- Guest messages. Confirmations, arrival details and the gate code, written once and sent with every booking, in the guest's own language.
- Arrivals and the team. Today's arrivals and departures, job sheets with photo proof, and a login for everyone with the right permissions.
- Reports and Xero. Revenue, occupancy and average booking value for any dates, exported for your accountant or synced to Xero.
- One park or several. Group runs several parks from one login, with figures per park or combined.
Pricing
- CampSuite. Free for up to 10 units, with no card and no end date. Guests pay a £1.50 fee on online bookings, and every paid plan takes it away. Grow is £29 + VAT a month with 20 units included and the channel manager, Park is £149 + VAT with 100, and several parks is a Group plan. Month to month, no contract. Every price is on the pricing page.
- CampManager. Commercial pricing built around the full park-management feature set. Check CampManager's own site for its current tiers.
CampSuite publishes every price. A small site pays nothing, a busy park pays one monthly figure it can see before it signs up, and nobody is tied into a contract.
Live in an afternoon, moved across for you
The set-up wizard asks for your pitches, prices and policies, and most owners take their first booking within about 15 minutes. If you are moving from CampManager, we do the work: send us an export, a spreadsheet or a photo of the diary and we bring your pitches, rates, guests and forward bookings across, with deposits and balances intact. For CL sites, CS sites and most touring parks up to around 60 pitches the move is free. Run both side by side until you are ready, then switch CampManager off.
Built for the phone in your hand
Owners do not run a site from behind a desk. They run it from the top field, the shower block and the gate. CampSuite was drawn for the phone first and scaled up for the office computer, so taking a booking, checking a balance or ticking off a job takes seconds wherever you are standing.
Built with the people who use it
CampSuite was started by a motorhomer and has been shaped since by the site operators who run on it. Support comes from the same UK team who build it, by phone and by email, and many of the features released each month started as a request from a park.
The bottom line
CampSuite is the campsite operating system that just works, and works the way you do. Start free today and have your own site in it tonight, or book a demo and we will show you your park running on it.
