A focused website for one campground or RV park commonly requires 70-150 hours, roughly $3,500-$7,500 at Vertinus's $49.99 hourly rate. A larger property or multi-location site with accommodation types, interactive maps, activities, policies, and supported reservation handoffs may take 150-350 hours, about $7,500-$17,500. A deeply connected booking experience with live inventory, rate plans, minimum stays, add-ons, deposits, and guest accounts may require 300-900 hours or more, about $15,000-$45,000.

The website's job is to help the right guest understand the property, choose a suitable site or accommodation, trust the operator, and reserve without surprises. The campground-management platform should normally remain authoritative for availability, rates, restrictions, reservations, guest records, deposits, payments, changes, and cancellations.

Planning range: $3,500-$7,500 for a focused property website; $7,500-$17,500 for a larger or multi-property site; $15,000-$45,000+ for a connected booking experience. Copywriting, photography, video, drone work, maps, reservation-platform fees, payments, messaging, hosting, and ongoing care are separate.

Focused campground website: 70-150 hours

A responsible first release may include:

  • A home page built around location, setting, accommodations, amenities, and booking.
  • Pages for RV sites, tent sites, cabins, rentals, or other offered accommodation types.
  • A readable property map or linked reservation map with an accessible alternative.
  • Amenities, activities, nearby attractions, seasonal context, and supplied photographs.
  • Directions, arrival information, office hours, contact details, and emergency boundaries.
  • A reservation handoff to an established campground-management platform.
  • Approved occupancy, vehicle, pet, cancellation, deposit, quiet-hour, and property policies.
  • Accessible forms, spam controls, analytics, and consent context.
  • Local-search foundations, performance, mobile, security, and launch testing.
  • Domain, analytics, code, content, and account handoff.

Larger or multi-property website: 150-350 hours

Cost grows with several properties, many accommodation types, unique property pages, site filters, seasonal offerings, events, activity schedules, long-stay or group inquiries, galleries, multilingual content, gift cards, owner-controlled updates, local attractions, and migration from a larger existing site.

Property maps deserve their own scope. A supplied static map is narrower than searchable sites, dimensions, hookups, accessibility, shade, distance, photos, availability, overlays, mobile gestures, and synchronization with the reservation inventory.

Connected reservation experience: 300-900 hours or more

A connected experience may add date and party search, site-type availability, effective rates, minimum stays, occupancy rules, pets, vehicles, add-ons, promotion codes, deposits, provider-hosted payment, guest accounts, changes, cancellation, pre-arrival forms, and check-in instructions.

Use provider-hosted payment, reservation records, guest accounts, and cancellation functions unless the business has a specific reason to own those risks. Confirm API coverage, rate limits, test environments, webhooks, support responsibility, data export, and failure behavior before promising a custom booking interface.

What changes the estimate

Accommodation types and property facts

One uniform RV-site type is simpler than back-in and pull-through sites, hookups, lengths, surfaces, tents, cabins, rentals, accessible options, pet restrictions, vehicles, occupancy, amenities, seasonal closures, and individual site details.

Availability, rates, and restrictions

A provider booking link is narrower than live inventory, nightly and weekly rates, seasons, weekends, holidays, minimum stays, closed arrivals, length of stay, occupancy, promotions, fees, taxes, deposits, holds, and synchronized changes.

Maps, content, and media

A supplied map and twenty labeled photographs are simpler than custom cartography, interactive filtering, site-specific galleries, drone media, videos, accessibility alternatives, image rights, seasonal replacements, and a large attraction library.

Policy and guest safety

Occupancy, accessibility, pets, service animals, vehicles, fires, water, weather, wildlife, swimming, alcohol, minors, long stays, deposits, cancellation, taxes, privacy, messaging, and emergency statements require accurate business approval and qualified review where appropriate.

Example: one RV park with cabins

An RV park needs a home page, RV-site and cabin pages, supplied property map and photography, amenities, nearby attractions, policies, reservation-platform handoff, contact forms, analytics, local-search foundations, accessibility, and migration from a small existing site.

  • Discovery, guests, accommodation types, content inventory, and sitemap: 20-36 hours.
  • Visual direction, responsive components, accommodation and content templates: 28-52 hours.
  • Property, accommodations, map, amenities, attractions, policies, and content: 38-72 hours.
  • Reservation handoff, forms, analytics, privacy, consent, and failure behavior: 18-35 hours.
  • Local search, redirects, structured data, performance, and accessibility: 22-42 hours.
  • Business review, device testing, corrections, documentation, and launch: 16-30 hours.

Total planning range: 142-267 hours, about $7,100-$13,350 at $49.99 per hour, plus reservation-platform, photography, mapping, payment, hosting, and other provider charges.

How to reduce campground website cost

  • Choose the reservation platform before designing search and booking behavior.
  • Supply one verified inventory of accommodations, hookups, dimensions, amenities, and policies.
  • Use provider-hosted availability, checkout, payment, changes, and cancellation first.
  • Start with a clear static property map before funding an interactive one.
  • Organize original photographs by property, accommodation type, season, and permission.
  • Choose one owner for rates, closures, policies, availability, and urgent notices.
  • Test sold-out dates, minimum stays, weak connectivity, failed handoffs, and accessibility.

How Vertinus estimates campground websites

Vertinus charges $49.99 per hour for time actually worked up to the approved estimate. The written scope identifies properties, accommodations, audiences, content and photography responsibilities, reservation-platform boundaries, maps, guest paths, integrations, search work, testing, acceptance, estimated hours, exclusions, and recurring providers.

After final payment, the client owns the completed code, interface, project-specific deliverables, and domain. Third-party reservation platforms, maps, payment services, data, and licensed assets retain their own terms. Optional Managed Website Care is $50 per month.

Send Vertinus your property, accommodation types, map, amenities, policies, current website, reservation path, and management platform. We will turn them into a written website scope that separates public content, provider configuration, and integration.
