Campground Payment Options You Can Offer Campers

What Payment Options Can You Offer Campers?

As a campground owner, you can offer a variety of payment options for your campers. Here’s a quick overview!

1. Cash or Check

You can choose to accept cash or checks from campers, which will help them avoid any processing fees. Make sure to communicate this option clearly if you decide to offer it.

2. Credit Card
Credit card payments are easy for campers and are often the most popular option. However, keep in mind that processing fees will apply.

You and your campers can also save a Card on File to make future transactions fast and easy!

3. ACH Payments

Say goodbye to guests having to pay large processing fees on monthly payments! ACH payments offer a lower fee option for campers, especially for long-term or Flexible Reservations.

You can enable ACH payments by going to your Reservation Setup > General Settings and toggling on 'Allow ACH Payments?'.

Once activated, campers will be able to pay directly through their bank account.

Partial Payments vs. Full Payments

You also have the option to accept partial payments for reservations. However, we highly recommend collecting the total amount upfront. Doing so helps protect your revenue in case of a camper no-show or a cancellation outside your cancellation window.

Autopay for Recurring Invoices
