Why Outdore
Upgrade to the new all-in-one solution designed exclusively for camp & glamp sites that brings more bookings with fewer chores.
Quick to setup, fully featured yet simple to use whatever size of site you run. We charge no set-up or support fees and can be used at no cost to take direct bookings.
Our onboarding process typically needs just 20 to 40 minutes of your time. We also have an import tool to bulk load existing bookings, so switching to Outdore can be done safely at any point in the season, within a single day.
Why do small sites like using Outdore?
Outdore radically reduces time spent managing bookings, at no cost to site owners.
Often small sites dismiss booking software as being too tricky to set-up, or too expensive. Outdore has removed these barriers. Many sites take under an hour from registering to asking to be set live. Most sites elect to use Outdore entirely for free for their direct bookings by opting to charge the guest a small booking convenience fee.
Once live, sites are freed from juggling phone calls or booking forms, and from the chore of manually updating a paper diary. Your Outdore digital diary is always bang up to date, accessible anywhere with a single tap and easy to share with any assistants.
Outdore gets their site noticed on Google and connected to AirBnB, Pitchup etc without fear of double bookings.
Google should be your priority for attracting direct bookings, and your Outdore booking link is perfect for converting Google Search and Google Maps traffic to bookings.
If you don’t have a website, it’s just one extra click whilst onboarding with Outdore to get one for free. Then be sure to claim your business on Google, and add your new website address so you start receiving Google search sourced direct bookings.
Lots of small sites have a button to their Pitchup listing on their website. With an Outdore listing you save yourself the 15% commission by taking these bookings directly rather than sending them over to Pitchup!
Pitchup is still the top choice for campsites, and AirBnB for glampsites. Outdore provides free 2-way synchronisation of bookings with your choice of up to 4 sales channels per pitch or unit. You never need to manually key in bookings to avoid double bookings.
Save even more Pitchup commission by reducing your allocation with them over peak dates, ensuring more bookings for these dates are direct at 0% commission.
Stop missing out on bookings when you can’t answer the phone, or by not offering instant booking.
Why do larger sites switch to Outdore?
A superior booking journey that is truly bespoke for camping and glamping sites
Sites using older booking systems like Bedful, Freetobook, Anytime and Gema Park are switching to Outdore for our map based approach that makes it far easier for guests to orientate and pick exactly the pitch or unit they want.
Modern design and the latest cloud based technology quickly displays cross-site pricing and availability with minimal clicks.
As a camping/glamping specialist we filter searches and capture essential booking information more efficiently.
We provide free expert support and tailored features so your site set-up is just as you like
As a family owned business we make decisions and can implement new features quickly when a site has special requirements.
We love a challenge and can adapt or enhance the Outdore platform to cater to the way you like to run your site. We get the best ideas from our customers, so please keep them coming!
Here’s a few of the features added in 2024 following customer requests: length of stay discounts, discount codes, more flexible customisation of guest text and email messaging, choice of map style, support for rally fields or event sites, changeover report downloads, maximum booking window extended from 1 to 2 years, support for complex seasonal rates.
We’re straightforward to deal with and easy to get hold of if you need any support.
Outdore recently onboarded a 50+ pitch site in under 24 hours after they got tired of the lengthy wait (and high set-up fee!) with one of the longest established, largest booking system providers.
We offer a free white glove switching service for a quick and painless migration
We’ll help you make sure your listing shines and that your pitches and units have been configured to respect your booking rules and rates.
Then we’ll import your existing bookings – you’ll need to get us a download of these from your old system.
Next we’ll add iCal import links to sync in bookings from any OTAs you use, such as Airbnb.
After receiving your final approval, we’ll then set your site live.
That’s it! You should then close your old booking system for new bookings, and only use it to collect any outstanding balances.
You’ll be able to see ALL bookings in your Outdore calendar, and we’ll have colour-coded the ones we imported from your old system for easy recognition.
Test us out – you’ll save a bundle in set-up fees and monthly fees, and we’ll have you live as quickly as you like.
