Which All-In-One Solution is Right for Your Business?
Do you want more time-saving tools included per subscription without individual booking fees?
ResNexus Doesn't Charge Additional Per-Booking Fees
ResNexus doesn’t charge reservation fees for bookings from our online booking engine or for over-the-phone reservations taken by your staff. Commission-free direct bookings save your business money. The ResNexus PLUS editions do not charge any additional OTA commission fees on bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, Hipcamp, and more.
Campspot's pricing model is similar to other OTAs, meaning that
they charge your campground for every booking—$3 for each direct online or phone reservation.
This means that the more online and phone bookings your campground gets, the more commissions you have to pay. In addition, Campspot charges a 10% commission on booked reservations through their online marketplace (OTA), plus a standard 2.5% credit card processing fee which the business is responsible for paying.

Keep more control over your guest information
ResNexus is a PMS system, not an OTA marketplace. Campspot is both. Campspot allows customization of their booking engine to look like your website. However, if you choose to be listed on Campspot's OTA, the Campspot standard branding is what is shown on the OTA listing. The Campspot directory shows your competitors and collects the guest information so that the Campspot OTA directory can market to your campers in the future. Often, this means they are advertising new locations for the camper to stay at.
ResNexus showcases your sites beautifully, with thumbnail pictures that are almost twice the size of the default thumbnail pictures found on Campspot.
Campspot's thumbnail pictures are smaller than the thumbnail pictures on ResNexus. Both ResNexus and Campspot let the customer click on an additional link to view larger pictures.

ResNexus booking engine displays your inventory with larger, eye-catching photos and buttons. Plus, ResNexus also supports videos on your online booking engine.

The ResNexus online Booking Engine allows the customer to be put on a waitlist

Campspot does not have a built-in waitlist feature on their online booking engine.
ResNexus allows campers to see top offers immediately. In addition, guests can shop by special, with the system guiding them to qualifying dates and units.
