CampSite 360 launched its Tour Connect platform, designed to integrate virtual tours with leading reservation systems, enhancing the booking experience for campground and RV park guests while improving operational efficiency for owners.
The first integration was completed with the Newbook Reservation system, allowing guests to explore campgrounds virtually and make real-time reservations directly through the tour interface.
This integration gives guests a detailed view of campgrounds and the ability to check availability and book sites, increasing booking conversions and guest satisfaction.
The platform’s interactive maps further enhance the experience, allowing users to navigate campgrounds and view available sites in a visually engaging way. The built-in GPS features also assist guests in navigating on-site amenities.
Initial data from CampSite 360’s deployment shows strong results. Nearly two-thirds of visitors who begin the reservation process through the virtual tour platform complete their bookings.
Visitors also engage with the virtual tours for an average of seven minutes, interacting with over 45 features per session. The platform has already demonstrated its revenue-generating potential, with one campground earning approximately $10,900 in booking revenue within the first month of implementation.
Additionally, about 25% of bookings appear to be coordinated group reservations, suggesting that Tour Connect is effective in facilitating group and family trip planning. Campgrounds can experience the platform firsthand by exploring the CERA Campground Virtual Tour.
TJ Ammond, owner of CampSite 360, expressed his excitement for the launch, stating, “We’re thrilled to launch Tour Connect, a milestone we’ve been working toward since founding CampSite 360 in 2020. As full-time RVers, we’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of researching and booking campsites,” Ammond said.
Our integration with Newbook streamlines the reservation process, allowing guests to explore campsites virtually, check real-time availability, and book seamlessly—all within one platform. The analytics confirm what we’ve believed all along—immersive experiences drive confident booking decisions and increase revenue for campground operators,” Ammond added.
CampSite 360, established in 2020, specializes in creating virtual tours for campgrounds and RV parks. Their services aim to provide guests with an immersive online experience that mirrors an in-person visit, helping to build confidence in booking decisions.
