Campspot Analytics Helps Campgrounds Find the Sweet Spot for Occupancy and Rates
|
Grand Rapids, MI – October 2023 / NewsmakerAlert: Campspot, the leading campground software reservation provider, knows how important data and analytics are for business owners. And with a softening across the camping industry, it’s more important than ever to be armed with the data that can help you make important business decisions for your campground.

That’s why Campspot built the industry’s most robust reporting and analytics tool for campground operators—Campspot Analytics. Easy access to visual dashboards helps Campspot users make data-informed decisions on a regular basis. Initial use among adopters is paying off: Parks that accessed Campspot Analytics in its first six months had 5% higher occupancy than those that did not.

Campspot Analytics Helps Campgrounds Find the Sweet Spot for Occupancy and Rates
|
One of the unique benefits of Campspot Analytics is Signals—a suite of dashboards that anonymously pools information into a competitive set from a group of parks with similar profiles so campgrounds can see how their rates and occupancy levels compare to other parks. Unlike other competitive benchmarking tools in the market, Signals is the only product with access to anonymized data for the outdoor hospitality industry at such a large scale.

Data shows, for example, that in 2023 campgrounds and RV resorts averaged $3,985 in revenue per RV site open between May and October. With Signals, Campgrounds can get comp data like this that is specific to their parks and help ensure ideal rates.

Additional dashboards available in Campspot Analytics include:

  • Park Overview
  • Operations Summary
  • Occupancy Pace
  • Portfolio Overview
  • YoY Metric Comparison
  • Daily Manager Report
  • Driving Distance
Data and insights from these dashboards help campground operators easily watch park and portfolio trends, identify areas of growth opportunity, and plan messaging, marketing, amenities and more around what they see. 

We’ve seen, for example, that among highly amenitized resorts and traditional campgrounds 51% of occupied sites were stays of less than 28 nights. While 69% of all occupied sites were stays of 28 nights or more across all park types. Additionally, in 2023, Campers booked their RV sites an average of 49 days prior to their arrival while lodging sites were booked much closer at 22 days. Insights like these can help campgrounds hone marketing messaging and strategy.

The Campspot Value dashboard gives parks a look at how much they make off of Campspot’s various revenue-driving features like Lock Site, Add-ons, and Grid Optimization to see where their biggest revenue drivers are, and what additional opportunities are out there.

Here’s a peek at what those numbers are across all campgrounds for the 2023 summer camping season:

  • $11M Lock Site revenue
  • $30M Add-on revenue
  • $6M Grid Optimization revenue
The data above is for 2023 summer seasons (May 15 - September 15) and is cumulative data. Individual park data is available to Campspot users in the Campspot Analytics reporting tool.

“We want to make it as straightforward as possible for parks to measure and monitor the health of their businesses,” says Josh Traxler, Campspot’s Chief Operations Officer. “With Campspot Analytics, it’s easy to see which parts of the business are booming and where there might be room for growth.”
