Learn how Campspot's POS system enables campgrounds to operate efficiently and generate as much revenue as possible.
To increase their revenue-generating potential, campgrounds need a powerful point-of-sale (POS) system that streamlines operations, enhances the guest experience, and boosts overall spending. Reservation software like Campspot makes that possible with its POS system and robust integrations, with 120 million POS items sold in 2023 alone—a 12% year-over-year increase that only continues to trend up and to the right.
Discover how you can both wow guests and run your retail operations successfully with Campspot’s POS system.
With Campspot’s POS system, you can manage your camp store, snack shack, tackle-and-bait shop, and more, all in one platform. The cloud-based system allows each location to report real-time statistics with portable capabilities.
Organizing and managing inventory has also never been easier. Showcase all of your inventory without being limited by maximum-product restrictions. For easy and accurate reporting, you can keep your camp store inventory separate from the snack shack while still housing it all under one account.
Offering an easy, seamless purchase process directly impacts how much revenue you generate. Campspot’s POS system offers several features to help you manage and optimize your campground store sales, while improving the overall guest experience.
With Campspot, guests can make purchases before even arriving at your campground. Easily configure new or existing inventory items for purchase during online reservations. Manage inventory items with ease, boost reservations, and improve the guest experience.
Once guests arrive, this feature allows them to make purchases even if they don’t have their credit card on them. Offer your campers this ultimate convenience, which encourages on-site spending and drives more revenue.
This feature allows you to charge a guest’s card on file (rather than needing the physical card), similarly keeping things hassle-free for your guests.
Speed up transactions during busy times by adding popular items to your Starred List, making it quick and easy for you to access items and check out a guest.
Campspot Analytics provides you with insights you need with the intuitive POS Sales Insights dashboard.
Dig into your POS items sold over a specific period of time, accessing key metrics like total profit; top items by profit margin; sales by time, category, or location; profit by category; profit year-over-year; and more.
Drill down to uncover trends and shopping behavior that can inform your business strategy.
Every campground has a unique set of needs, which is why Campspot provides powerful integrations to unlock more POS options that solve for the diverse requirements of our customers.
Campspot integrates with Lightspeed Restaurant POS, a comprehensive platform designed to streamline all restaurant operations and empower campgrounds to more seamlessly manage the dining and cash-out experience.
Among this integration’s key features is the ability to look up current guests in Lightspeed by name or campsite, and connect their dining transactions to their Campspot invoice. With the integrated payment solution, guests are able to charge their restaurant bill to their campsite or their card on file.
Connect your campground and restaurant operations for a smoother workflow, allow guests to easily charge meals to their saved payment method in Campspot, and simplify the cash-out process for ultimate ease and transaction accuracy.
That’s not all—keep an eye out for upcoming integrations with Lightspeed Retail R-Series (in pilot) and Lightspeed Retail X-Series (coming soon!).
Campspot’s integration with Cinchio Solutions enables charge-to-site payments via wristbands with MyVenue, while also unlocking mobile and kiosk ordering capabilities. Guests can use wristbands linked to their reservation to make purchases throughout their stay, including dining on-site, shopping at your camp store, participating in on-site activities, and paying for equipment rentals.
When you offer these convenient payment and ordering options, you increase your revenue-generating potential while streamlining your retail and food-and-beverage operations.
In addition to Lightspeed Retail R-Series and X-Series, a highly-anticipated integration with Toast is on the way. Soon campgrounds on Campspot will have the option to connect with another industry-leading point-of-sale system to simplify their dining operations.
Here at Campspot, we continuously build upon and improve our platform—including our POS system and integration partnerships—to empower campgrounds to be as successful as possible.
