The ResNexus Edition shown is Professional Plus based on a 12-month season.
ResNexus—No Per-Reservation Fees on Your Booking Engine
ResNexus doesn’t charge reservation fees for bookings from our online booking engine or for over-the-phone reservations taken by your staff. Commission-free bookings save your business money.
Campspot Charges Per-Reservation Fees on Every Booking
Campspot charges $3 for each online reservation and for every reservation taken over the phone by your staff and entered into the administrative portal. In addition, Campspot charges a 10% commission on booked reservations through their online marketplace, plus a standard 2.5% credit card processing fee which the business is responsible for paying.
ResNexus Lifetime Pricing Guarantee
ResNexus charges a simple flat rate based off of your units and season. In addition, we provide peace of mind with our Lifetime Pricing Guarantee. Rest easy knowing that as long as you own your business, the price of your campground management software won’t increase unless you add more units. We only grow when you grow. That’s just one more form of stability that ResNexus provides.
Campspot Prices Vary Based on Booking Volume
Campspot's pricing model is similar to other OTAs, meaning that they charge your campground for every booking. This means that the more online and phone bookings your campground gets, the more commissions you have to pay. In addition, Campspot charges a 10% commission on booked reservations through their online marketplace, plus a standard 2.5% credit card processing fee which the business is responsible for paying.
ResNexus Offers Affordable and Seamless Websites
ResNexus websites are affordably priced and include hosting, security, SEO optimization, ADA friendly setup, and initial design! ResNexus also provides additional content writing on your homepage to help increase your Search Engine Optimization. In addition, ResNexus has our price match guarantee, which means you are always getting the website or software for the best price! In addition, ResNexus offers digital relationship marketing services.
Campspot Recommends Trusted Partners for Website Services
Campspot doesn’t have direct website services but they do recommend trusted partners that can provide website creation services. In addition, Campspot adds your property as a page on their online directory alongside other properties.
ResNexus Has a Variety of OTA Options
ResNexus helps your campground get found and get booked by integrating directly with OTAs such as Booking.com, Airbnb, TripAdvisor and Expedia, as well as Spot2Nite, The Dyrt, Glamping Hub, HipCamp, and BookOutdoors, which are campground-specific marketing channels that accept tent and RV sites. In addition, ResNexus has a unique direct connection to VRBO that does not use ical. This helps prevent double bookings from having to manually enter in reservations from VRBO. ResNexus has commission-free pricing options to connect to the OTA's. This means that your business has zero additional commission fees charged by your PMS software.
Campspot's OTA Integrations Are Made via 3rd Parties
Campspot integrates with Booking.com through DerbySoft, and with Airbnb and Vrbo through BnBerry, which are 3rd party integration companies. This means you may have to work with different support teams from different companies to resolve any issues that might arise. In addition, each company charges its own fees for their services. Campspot charges a $3 per booking fee for reservations that come through the OTAs.
ResNexus Is a Preferred Partner with Expedia and Airbnb
ResNexus achieved Preferred Partner status with both Expedia and Airbnb for building and maintaining a quality integration with these world-class marketing channels. This means ResNexus offers powerful features and capabilities built into the pms system from these providers.
Campspot is Not a Preferred Partner with Expedia and Airbnb
Campspot integrates with Airbnb but not with Expedia. Campspot has not achieved Preferred Parter status with either.

A Great Online Reservation Experience

Which one would you rather your guests see?

02.

A Great Online Reservation Experience

Which one would you rather your guests see?
ResNexus Policies Stand Out
During the booking process you can offer retail items, specials or packages in an intuitive and eye-catching way. In addition, your policies stand out because ResNexus uses a simple step-by-step progression throughout the reservation process. ResNexus allows you to call out or highlight the most important policies for your campers to know.
Campspot Provides a Policy Link
With Campspot, your guest has to click to view your policies, terms and conditions. By hiding your policies at the end of the booking process, potential guests might overlook or ignore your terms and conditions completely. Down the road this could lead to campers leaving your business a bad review if policy misunderstandings occur. Campspot requires your guest to click and agree to your policies whether they have read them or not.
Your ResNexus Online Booking Engine Matches Your Website
The ResNexus booking engine is easy to use and customizable. In addition, the ResNexus Team makes sure that your online booking engine matches your current website, whether it is provided by ResNexus or not. That means when potential guests go to reserve a site, they don’t feel like they are being sent to a different-looking website. In addition, all reservations that come through the ResNexus online booking engine are commission-free.
Campspot Brands Their Marketing Channel & Directory
Campspot allows limited customization of their booking engine to look like your website. You can change colors and add your property’s logo. However, if you choose to be listed on Campspot's marketing channel, that is what is branded instead of your property. The Campspot directory shows your competitors and collects the guest information so that the Campspot OTA directory can market to your guest in the future. Often, this means they are advertising new locations for the guest to stay at.
ResNexus Protects Your Business From Last-Minute Cancellations Due to Illness, Adverse Weather Involving Rain, and other Travel Delays
With ResNexus Travel Protection, you can protect your business from revenue losses from last-minute cancellations due to illness, adverse weather involving rain/snow and other travel delays including cancelled flights or vehicle breakdown. In addition, ResNexus offers Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) 75% refund protection. Your guests can simply select the Travel Protection option during the booking process, and if they cancel for one of the protected reasons, both you and your guest will be reimbursed 100% of the booking cost minus the travel protection fee. ResNexus does not offer extreme heat protection at this time.
Campspot Integrates With Sensible Weather Guarantee
The Sensible Weather Guarantee covers rain and high temperature. It does not cover hail, snow, or any other weather events. It is specifically based on the amount of rain precipitation that falls during a given time period. If a guest has to cancel last-minute due to illness or other travel delay, your property must fall back on your own cancellation policies, which could result in a loss of revenue depending on the strictness of your terms and conditions.
With ResNexus Side Bars Your Retail Items Stand Out Throughout the Shopping Experience
With ResNexus, potential guests can see your top retail offers and specials right from the start. All your retail items are shown once the guest selects a site—something many of our competitors copied from us. In addition, your guest can choose to shop by special first and the ResNexus Online Booking Engine will guide the guest to select the qualifying dates and units.
Campspot Shows Add-ons After the Unit Selection
Campspot also shows add-ons or retail items after the unit is selected. Unlike ResNexus, Campspot does not allow the guest to shop by special or package first and then select the unit.
ResNexus Has a Browser-Based Guest Portal
The ResNexus Guest Portal allows guests to check in, check out, message your staff, view reservation details, and more! The best part is there’s no app required. All the guest has to do is click the link or scan the QR code, then input their reservation and phone number!
Campspot Has a Guest Mobile App
Campspot has a guest mobile app called Campspot | RV Camping which has some impressive functions, but it does require the guest to download the app in order to use them. In addition, the guest information is uploaded into the Campspot OTA Marketplace.

Monthly Industry Knowledge, Webinars and More
ResNexus is here to help your business grow. That’s why each month we offer educational webinars that discuss everything from developing trends in the hospitality and campground industries to new ResNexus features to help your business operate more easily.

Campspot Also Provides Industry Knowledge
Campspot posts educational material on Facebook, as well as via webinars, emails, social and blog posts, and the Campspot Knowledge Base.
ResNexus Brings Your Campground Innovation and Experience from Multiple Industries
ResNexus is one of the fastest growing campground reservation softwares in the industry! ResNexus was created in "the cloud" before most people knew to even call it the cloud—over 20 years ago. We were one of the first cloud-based online booking engines and property management software systems. We bring innovations, integrations, and solutions from multiple hospitality industries to your campground. At ResNexus, elevating your business and helping it grow is our passion, and has been since 2004.
Campspot Continues to Grow as an OTA
Campspot was launched in 2015 and has grown to be one of the larger OTA providers in the campground industry. However, because they also operate as an OTA, you'll be competing against other properties on their platform.

ResNexus Helps Prevent Direct Online Bookings from Banned Guests
ResNexus helps prevent a bad experience from happening again by allowing you to ban a guest from making reservations through your online booking engine. Whether they book online or call in to your business, ResNexus reminds you that the guest is on your naughty list.
Campspot Lets the Banned Guest Make Online Bookings
Unlike ResNexus, the Campspot Booking Engine and OTA does not allow you to ban a guest from making a direct online reservation. In Campspot, when you disallow or ban a guest you are notified in the Campspot back office if a guest makes a direct online booking. Then you or your staff will need to manually cancel that banned guest booking.
ResNexus Travel Protection Can Save You Time When Managing Last-Minute Cancellations
In the event the guest cannot make their reservation due to a wide variety of reasons including illness, adverse weather, and other travel delays, they can apply for a 100% booking reimbursement any time up to 14 days before the departure date or up to 30 days after. The automated Travel Protection refund portal looks like your online booking engine and helps reduce the headache of managing the administration of refund processing. In addition, much of the refund or reimbursement process is automatically handled by ResNexus on your behalf. This reduces back-and-forth phone calls or emails with the guest during the cancellation process. The automated Travel Protection portal also lets the guest reschedule and change dates if necessary.
Campspot Offers Sensible Weather Guarantee Service
Campspot does integrate with Sensible Weather Guarantee service to protect your guest from rainy days based on the amount of rain precipitation that falls during a given time period. The Weather Guarantee is separate from the Campspot reservation and is owned by Sensible Weather. The guest will need to contact Sensible Weather directly to make changes to their coverage dates if they change the dates of their Campspot reservation. If a guest cancels their reservation in advance they will also need to contact Sensible Weather directly to request a refund for the purchased Weather Guarantee. Sensible Weather notifies guests of a Weather Guarantee payout automatically through text and email each morning of their trip with instructions on how to get reimbursed.
Automatic Marketing Emails + Great Service
Not only does ResNexus have the best-looking Welcome and Thank You emails, we take your business further with Birthday, Anniversary, and Holiday emails and Newsletters. ResNexus email marketing automatically targets your previous guests and increases your return guest rate. Marketing emails are included at no additional cost for the Professional and Premier editions of ResNexus.
Campspot Owns the Guest Information
Campspot is a PMS system, but it is also an OTA. While they do offer welcome and thank you emails, your property should keep in mind that guests who book through Campspot.com will be added to their email funnel and encouraged to book another reservation through Campspot–which shows your park next to your competitors. Campspot does integrate with Mailchimp for an additional cost.
ResNexus Also Has Unit Optimization
ResNexus also provides unit optimization. That means you can enable your software to automatically shuffle your bookings to make room for more campers.
Campspot was the First to Introduce Unit Optimization to the Campground Industry
Campspot does have a history of innovating in the campground industry. For example, they introduced grid optimization on their software, which helps organize bookings automatically to make room for more campers and maximize occupancy.
ResNexus Property Management Mobile App
ResNexus launched a mobile app (both iOS and Android) for property managers to help you manage your business on the go. This allows you to perform many of the most important operations you need in the palm of your hand.
Campspot Does Not Have a Property Management App
Campspot does not have a property management app. They do have a mobile app for their OTA marketplace for campers to make bookings. Bookings made through the Campspot marketplace have a 12.5% commission fee.
ResNexus Provides Innovative Night Audit Reports
In addition to over one hundred powerful reports, ResNexus innovated the bed and breakfast industry with Night Audit functionality. This end-of-day sequence allows you to easily monitor and verify actions taken at your property for each day and generate specific reports to give you an accurate view of your business' performance and balance all transactions. What makes the ResNexus Night Audit so unique is it's ability provide a pdf report with hyperlinks to any transaction in the system. This makes coordination and auditing with your accounting staff or service easy and fast.
Campspot Does Not Have a Night Audit Report
Campspot provides useful reports to monitor your business. However, Campspot does not have a Night Audit report.
