CampStead.com is an online booking website to help holiday makers easily find and book camping, glamping, caravanning and self-rental accommodation online. The site was launched earlier this year, and focusing specifically on the UK & Ireland market, and has seen a 284% rise in the number of visitors to the site since April 2017.
Andrew Norris comments, “We wanted to create a quality website that is simple and easy to use and delivers great results. Taking bookings via 3rd party websites can be expensive, with some sites charging a 10-25% commission for each booking. We wanted to offer a business model that was low cost, high volume and great quality. Creating a profile on CampStead.com is free; there are no sign-up fees, no contracts, no subscription costs and no annual fees. We have one of the lowest commission rates in the industry at 10% per confirmed booking.”
Andrew continues, “Within recent years, we have observed a growth in online bookings made via one stop shop 3rd party booking websites. The need for these types of website are largely driven by holiday makers, who want the convenience and ability to search across multiple locations, filtering and sorting by area, price, customer reviews and features to suit their individual preferences. As already experienced by the Hotel industry, we believe that over the coming years, there will be a rise in consumer demand for these comparison based websites specific to the camping industry.”
