Nobody buys a ninety-horse tractor to mow the strip along the entrance road. You buy the machine sized to the ground you actually have, you pay for it once, and you get back to work before the black flies show up. Every owner who has ever priced equipment understands that without needing a meeting about it.

A website is the same purchase. This is a small, plain, working website for a campground or an RV park, sized to the park you actually run, at a price I give you in writing before I start.

Campground and RV park sites here start at $2,800 — Starter $2,800, Grow $4,500, Complete $7,500, same numbers on the pricing page. If you're looking for a campground website designer, developer or builder, or a campsite website that takes inquiries, this is that work.

This site is the website build: pages, rates, photos, inquiry forms, ownership. Getting found on Google Maps and in camping directories is a separate practice at CampgroundSEO.com.

What you get

Everything a guest needs before they book, written and built for your park.

Written for you
Plain-language copy in the words a camper actually searches.
Built for phones
Most inquiries start on a phone with one bar of signal.
Yours to keep
Domain, hosting and every file registered in your name.
Photo coaching
A phone walkthrough, then I finish the photos for you.

Three sizes, not one

You don't build the big site when a small one will do, and you don't overbuild for the park you might have in ten years either. Pick the size that fits the season you're heading into. Most independent parks only need Starter. You can move up later, and nothing you paid the first time gets thrown away.

Starter

$2,800

For a park that needs one clear, current place online.

A home page, a page about the park, a sites-and-rates page, a photo gallery, and a contact page
Every page written for you: plain-language copy, optimized for search engines, in the language a camper actually searches
Built mobile-first, because most of your inquiries start on a phone with one bar of signal
An inquiry form that arrives in your inbox with the dates, the rig length, and the site type already filled in
A content management system so you can change rates, open dates, and closures yourself
Your domain, your hosting account, and every file registered in your business name

Grow

$4,500

For a park with several site types, cabins or units to sell, and a season worth explaining properly.

Everything in Starter
Up to ten pages, including a dedicated one for each site type or unit you rent
A photo gallery organized by loop or section, so a guest can see the actual area they're booking into
A news or events page you can update yourself when the schedule changes
Amenity, rules, and directions pages written to cut your phone-call volume

Complete

$7,500

For a park running memberships, seasonal contracts, or a long inquiry funnel.

Everything in Grow
An application or waitlist flow built for seasonal and member sites, not for nightly stays
A member-facing area for rules, renewals, notices, and the documents people lose every spring
Structure deep enough to add site types, a second property, or a whole new season later without a rebuild

Every size is yours, full stop. The domain, the hosting account, and every file are registered to your business from day one, not to me. If you ever decide to move the site to somebody else, you can, and I'll help you pack it up.

Every size above is a one-time fee, not a monthly bill. Financing is available too: 0% interest over 24 months for qualified clients. Just ask when we talk.

You own the park. You should own the website too.

Pricing shown in USD. See Canadian-dollar pricing → Each size, with everything it includes, is also on the pricing page.

Photos that make people trust you

A guest deciding between your park and three others on a map reads your photos before they read a word of your copy. Real photos of the actual sites, the actual bathhouse, the actual view beat a stock shot of a generic campfire every time, and template vendors know it, which is part of why their photo work tends to be decent.

You don't need their platform to get there. What you need is somebody telling you what to shoot before you pick up your phone: the angle that makes a site look like somewhere you'd actually want to park a trailer, why the hour before sunset beats noon, when to shoot low instead of standing height. I'll walk you through that by phone, you take the photos on your own phone, and I finish them here, correcting color and exposure so a shot taken on an overcast morning looks as good as one taken in perfect light. Every size above includes it. See the full walkthrough: how to photograph your campground for the website.

Talking about design is cheap. Here is a full fictional campground site — photo-led, booking-clear, labelled as a demo so you can judge the craft before you buy.

Your website and your booking system are two different tools

This is the single most common mix-up owners run into, and it costs real money in both directions. Campspot, RoverPass, ReserveAmerica, and Hipcamp handle availability and payment; I build the pages a guest reads before they ever touch a booking button and come back to for your bathhouse hours or your dog rules at nine on a Friday night. Neither one does the other's job.

If you're not sure which one you're short on, start here: Do I need Campspot or RoverPass if I already have a website? The companion piece walks through the split page by page: what actually belongs on a campground website versus a booking platform.

Who this is for

Three kinds of park, three genuinely different builds.

Independent campgrounds and RV parks. You rent sites by the night or the week, you take a lot of phone calls that a good page would have answered, and you'd like the website fixed before the gate opens. Usually Starter.

Glamping and unique-stay operators. Yurts, cabins, safari tents, domes, treehouses, airstreams. Your guest is buying a picture as much as a place, and every booking that comes through a listing platform costs you a cut you'd rather keep. Usually Grow.

Membership and seasonal campgrounds. You're not filling a site for a Tuesday, you're filling a season. You need an application, a waitlist, and somewhere for members to find the rules without calling the office. Usually Complete.

How the work goes

The call comes first, and it takes about twenty minutes. How many sites, what kinds, what your season looks like, and what you want somebody to do when they land on the page.

The quote comes next, in writing, with one number and a scope you can read in a single sitting. If the number doesn't work, say so. We'll cut the scope until it does, or you can walk away owing me nothing.

The build follows. You'll see it while it's still rough, and we'll fix what wants fixing before it goes anywhere near a guest.

The handover is the part most owners forget to ask about, and it's the part that matters five years from now. The domain and the hosting stay in your name, you get every login, and I'll show you how to change your own rates and dates so you can post a burn-ban notice yourself on a Saturday morning.

Meet Christopher Ross

My name is Christopher Ross, and I've been building things on the web since 1996. My larger, more complicated work runs under my own name at thisismyurl.com, where the clients are universities, media companies, and government teams, priced for that scale. A campground's website matters just as much to the family that owns the campground, so this is its own practice, built specifically for parks, at a price a park can actually sign off on.

I've never run a campground, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. What I do know first-hand is the shape of a seasonal outdoor business: I've sailed for most of my life, so I understand a year where you make your money in a narrow window, where the weather writes half your revenue, and where the worst possible time to be rebuilding a website is the week the gate opens.

Why winter is the real deadline

I do not invent park-owner quotes. What I can show is the seasonal work already written into the guides: the same commissioning list every owner faces between January and opening day.

Three of the twenty checks can take the site down for the season if you skip them — domain expiry, whose name the domain is in, and hosting renewal — and those three belong in December and January, not in May. Rates, season dates, and last summer's burn-ban notice have to match the ground before February planners start calling. The contact form has to work from a phone on mobile data, because that is how a guest at a rest stop fills it in, and a broken form fails silently.

That is why I push builds into winter, and why every size includes a content management system so you can post a closure yourself on a Saturday. The full list is here: a campground website checklist before the season opens. The booking handoff — what belongs on your site versus Campspot or RoverPass — is in website versus booking platform.

Common questions

Do I own the site when it's done?

Yes, at every size. The domain gets registered in your business name, the hosting account is in your name, and the logins are yours. There's nothing to negotiate back if you decide to move on.

Do you build the reservation system too?

No. I build the website around whatever reservation software you use, and I make sure the handoff between the two is clean. If you don't have a booking system yet, I'll tell you honestly whether you need one.

We already have a site from a template company. Is that a problem?

Not automatically. The question worth asking is whose name the domain and hosting are in. Several vendors in this industry sell a template site tied to their platform, and the photo work in particular can be genuinely good. Ask them directly whether the site travels with you if you leave, and get the answer in writing. What I build is yours to take, no need to ask.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. One fee, paid once. Hosting and the domain renew every year and they're small, in the range of a phone bill. If you want more site later, that's a separate decision, not an automatic renewal.

When should we start?

Winter. February and March are when owners find these problems and June is when they regret not fixing them. Here's the list I'd work through: a campground website checklist before the season opens.
