5 reasons why camping guests prefer booking direct over calling

Many guests no longer pick up the phone to call a campsite. They want to look and book themselves, whenever it suits them. But why?

Here are five reasons why camping guests prefer booking online over calling:

1. It works at any time — Deciding at 11 p.m. whether to go camping next weekend? Online you can check availability yourself, also outside opening hours.

2. No waiting on the phone — Nobody likes waiting on hold. Online you see availability and the price yourself, without 'we'll be with you as soon as possible'.

3. Clarity straight away — Is there still space? What does it cost? Online, availability and price are visible upfront. When you call, you often have to wait for the campsite owner to call back.

4. No social pressure — For some people, calling feels like an obligation. Booking online is low-threshold.

5. Everything in one place — Dates, prices and conditions are online upfront. You add extras after booking through your own reservation page.

Online booking makes things easier for your guests and gives you a clearer overview. A booking that is fully paid online is confirmed immediately; otherwise you review and approve it with one click.
