How to Accept ACH Payments at Your Campground

How to Pay with ACH (Bank Transfer)

What is ACH?

ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments enable campers to make direct payments from their bank account rather than using a credit card. This is similar to paying rent or utilities through an online banking portal, which can be more cost-effective due to lower processing fees.

Is ACH available for my reservation?

ACH is available when all of the following are true:
  1. The campground is located in the United States and bills in USD
  2. Your reservation is 29 nights or more, or is a **flexible** reservation
  3. The campground has ACH payments turned on
Campgrounds can choose to turn ACH off. If you don't see a **Bank Accounts** option at checkout, the campground isn't accepting ACH.

Fees and processing time

  1. Processing fee: 1% of the payment, capped at **$5.00** per transaction
  2. Processing time: 3–5 business days (allow 4–7 days for funds to fully clear)
  3. Refund time: Up to 4 business days. Only one refund per per camper can be processed at a time, meaning campgrounds need to wait for the first refund to complete before issuing another.

When you switch a payment to ACH, the invoice automatically recalculates the processing fee for you before you confirm.
