Category Pricing Basics

Each campsite area uses a three-tier pricing model that lets you set different rates for peak, standard, and off-peak periods.

Accessing Pricing

Navigate to your campsite area and click Edit Pricing & Rates in the sidebar.

Free or Paid

Use the Pricing toggle at the top of the form to switch between Free and Paid. When set to Free, no pricing fields are shown and customers are not charged.

Setting a Maximum Stay for Free Areas

Free areas can cap how long a guest is allowed to book, which is useful for keeping high-demand free sites available. When the Pricing toggle is set to Free, a Maximum Nights field appears.

  1. Set the Pricing toggle to Free.

  2. Enter the longest stay you want to allow in the Maximum Nights field. Leave it blank to allow any length of stay.

  3. Click Update Area to save.

When a guest selects more nights than the limit, the booking page shows a maximum stay warning and disables the booking button until they shorten their dates. The limit applies to the campsite area listing, the individual area page, and the checkout.

Pricing Model

Choose between Per Site (a flat rate per night) or Per Person (a rate per person per night).

When using Per Site pricing, you can also enable an Additional Charge Per Person to charge extra for each guest above the area's minimum guest count.

That charge is a one-off added to the booking total, applied once per extra guest. It is the same amount for a one-night stay and a one-month stay. For example, with a minimum of 2 guests and a $10 additional person charge, a booking for 3 guests adds $10 and a booking for 4 guests adds $20, whatever the length of the stay. If you want a rate that accrues for every night, use the Per Person pricing model instead, which charges its rate per guest per night.

The Three Price Tiers

Regular Price

Your default nightly rate, entered in the Standard Price ($) field. This applies to any dates that don't fall within your higher or lower date ranges.

Higher Price

A premium rate for peak periods. Set this higher than your standard price.

Lower Price

A discounted rate for off-peak periods. Set this lower than your standard price.

Setting Date Ranges

When dynamic pricing is disabled, you can manually select specific dates for higher and lower pricing using the date pickers.

Higher Pricing Dates

Use the date picker to select the dates when the higher price applies (e.g. school holidays, Christmas, Easter).

Lower Pricing Dates

Use the date picker to select the dates when the lower price applies (e.g. mid-week in winter, shoulder season).

Any dates not covered by higher or lower selections will use the standard price.

Saving Changes

Click Update Area to apply your pricing. All sites in this area will use these prices unless they have individual pricing overrides.
