A campsite website, from the barrier to the last light
People choosing a campsite compare what booking sites rarely make clear: the size of a pitch, whether it has shade and a hook-up, whether dogs are welcome, how far the beach is and what there is for children. When they search for your site by name, they expect your own website to answer.
Forest tells a day at your campsite in six of your photos: the entrance in the morning, four moments — the pitches, the lodges, the pool in the afternoon, the bar terrace as the sun goes down — and the site lit up at night. Each photo turns into a 3D image with its own depth, and the words you write for each hour take those questions one at a time.
A card closes the page, with your price from, reception hours, the minimum stay and how many each pitch takes, and a button to your booking system. The site shows the campsite; free pitches and payments stay in the software you already use.
What your site shows
The entrance, first thing
The site opens on the entrance or reception in the morning light, or a view of the pitches through the trees. Over it go the name, your headline and a line with the basics — where you are, what you offer (touring pitches, lodges, mobile homes) and which months you’re open.
The pitches
The first moment shows a row of pitches: the shade, the hook-up post, the space between one and the next. The text gives the figures a caravan or motorhome owner decides on: pitch size, amps, water and waste nearby, grass or hardstanding.
The lodges
Second photo: a lodge or mobile home, inside or from its deck. Say how many it sleeps, whether it has its own shower and air conditioning, what the kitchen has, and whether bedding and towels are included or guests bring their own.
The pool in the afternoon
The third photo is the pool, the beach or the river mid-afternoon. In the text, the pool’s opening hours, what there is for children and what people can do without moving the car.
The bar terrace
The fourth moment is the bar or restaurant with the sun low; with an evening hour on it, the photo’s light turns to match. Tell what the site is like as night falls: the entertainment, dinner, the hour quiet time starts on the pitches.
Booking a pitch
The card sits over the last photo, the campsite lit up at night: price from, per pitch per night; reception hours; the minimum stay in high season; and how many it takes. The button opens your booking system, where people choose a pitch or lodge and see which dates are free.
Have this ready
- Six photos, all required: the entrance or a wide view in the morning, a row of pitches, a lodge, the pool in the afternoon, the bar at sunset and the campsite lit at night. Nothing under 1,600 px on the long side.
- The campsite’s name and a short tagline: both go at the very top and in the title Google shows.
- One or two sentences: your location, the kinds of stay you offer and your season.
- Your pitch details: size, amps, shade, and whether large caravans and motorhomes fit.
- What each lodge has: beds, bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning, bedding.
- Four moments from a day on site: when each happens, what it’s called and what you want to say about it.
- For the card: price from per pitch per night, reception hours, minimum stay and how many each pitch takes; and your booking system’s link.
- Your dog policy, a few lines on who runs the site for the footer, and the owner’s details (name, tax number, address, email) for the legal notice.
Worth knowing
Pitches in metres and amps
People towing a caravan or driving a motorhome choose by numbers: the pitch size, the amps on the hook-up, whether a long vehicle fits, whether there’s a waste disposal point. Give them in the pitches’ moment exactly as they are, not rounded up.
Dogs: yes or no, and where
Say plainly whether dogs are welcome, on which pitches or in which lodges, whether there’s a charge and where they can be walked. It’s one of the first things people filter by, and better read on your site than found out at the barrier.
Arriving late
If reception closes at a set time, explain what happens to anyone arriving after it: an overnight bay by the entrance, a code for the barrier, a number to ring. It fits in the sentence under the card’s title.
From the drone, at an angle
An aerial photo taken straight down comes out nearly flat in 3D: everything is the same distance away. If you use a drone for the opening, tilt the camera until the horizon shows, with the nearest pitches close and the sea or the hills behind.
Questions
- We have pitches, lodges and mobile homes at different prices. What goes on the card?
- Put the price of your cheapest pitch on the card, with what it covers in the “per” field — pitch and night, or person and night. Lodges and mobile homes carry their prices in their moment’s text, and the button opens the page where people choose.
- Can people book a particular pitch on the site?
- Not on the site, which has no map and no calendar. The button opens your booking system, which is where free pitches show and, if your software allows it, one can be picked on the map.
- We close from November to March. What happens to the site in winter?
- Leave it up, and say on it when you open. The dates fit in the sentence under the card’s title; when they change, update them in the wizard and download the site again, at no extra cost.
- Most of our campers come from abroad. Can the site be in several languages?
- No: a site speaks one language, English or Spanish, and you pick it at the very start of the wizard. If your guests come from several countries, go with the one most of them read, and say in the reception moment which languages are spoken there.
- Are my photos uploaded anywhere while I make the site?
- No. Your browser trims each one to 2,048 px at most, saves it again without the location your phone left in it, and calculates its depth without sending it to any server. All that comes down from promti.app, with the first photo, is the model that does the calculation: about 46 MB, once. On a computer with WebGPU the six are ready in seconds; without it, allow 4 or 5 seconds a photo.
