    What Makes PayCamp Different: Built for Britain

    PayCamp isn't another American software translated for the UK. It's built from the ground up for British marinas, campsites, and caravan parks.

    PayCamp: Your UK Outdoor Hospitality Software

    Tailored site management solutions for marinas, campsites, and caravan parks, built with British operators in mind.

    3

    The Problem With "International" Software

    Most site management software available in the UK was originally built for the American market. It talks about "RV parks" instead of caravan sites, "slips" instead of berths, and "lot rent" instead of pitch fees. The currency defaults to dollars. The compliance features track American state regulations, not BSS certificates or gas safety records.

    You can make it work, but you're always fighting the software instead of using it.

    Built for British Operators From Day One

    PayCamp was designed specifically for UK outdoor hospitality operators. Every feature, every label, every workflow reflects how British sites actually operate:

    UK Compliance as Standard

    1

    🚤BSS Certificates

    track Boat Safety Scheme compliance for every vessel with automated expiry alerts

    2

    🔥Gas Safety Records

    monitor gas safety certificates for static caravans and holiday homes

    3

    🌊River Licences

    track Canal & River Trust or Environment Agency licences

    4

    📄Insurance Documents

    customer self-upload via magic links, no chasing paper copies

    💡 Did You Know?

    PayCamp's automated expiry alerts for compliance documents can save countless hours and prevent potential fines, keeping your site running smoothly and legally.

    GBP-Native Invoicing

    Invoicing is in pounds sterling with proper UK VAT handling. No currency conversion, no American date formats, no confusion. Invoice numbers, payment terms, and statement layouts all follow British business conventions.

    British Terminology Throughout

    Berths, not slips. Pitches, not sites. Plots, not lots. Moorings, not docks. PayCamp speaks the same language as your customers and your team.

    5

    Cloud-Based: Access From Anywhere in the UK

    PayCamp is fully cloud-based — no software to install, no servers to maintain, no IT consultants to hire. Log in from your office, your phone on the pontoon, or your laptop at home. Your data is always backed up, always current, always accessible.

    ⚙️ Pro Tip:

    With PayCamp's cloud-based accessibility, you can manage check-ins or view occupancy reports directly from your mobile device while out on site, improving efficiency and customer service.

    6

    Every Feature on Every Plan

    Unlike competitors who hide features behind expensive tiers, PayCamp includes every feature on every plan. You choose your plan based on site size, not feature wishlists. As your site grows, your plan scales with you.

    7

    One Platform for Marinas, Campsites, and Caravan Parks

    Whether you run a marina, a campsite, or a caravan park — or a combination — PayCamp handles it all from one dashboard. Mixed sites don't need multiple software subscriptions.

    PayCamp Payments: The Biggest Differentiator

    Here's what truly sets PayCamp apart from every other UK site management platform: integrated payment processing that just works. No separate merchant account applications. No Stripe dashboard to learn. No waiting weeks for approval.

    💳

    PayCamp Payments: Two Ways to Get Paid

    Every site needs to collect money. PayCamp gives you two options — pick the one that fits:

    PayCamp Payments

    Turn it on, start collecting. 5% + 50p per transaction. No merchant account needed, no Stripe dashboard to learn. Money lands in your bank account automatically.

    Bring Your Own Stripe

    Already have a Stripe account? Connect it directly. Standard 2.8% + 25p rates, full control over your payment processing.

    Every invoice you send, every booking deposit you collect, every electricity bill a customer settles — it all flows through one system. The money lands in your bank account automatically. You never touch a payment terminal or reconcile a spreadsheet again.

    HireHelm: Boat Hire That Actually Works on a Phone

    If your site includes boat hire, HireHelm is built right into PayCamp. Walk-in bookings from the dockside, digital waivers signed before arrival, ID verification on mobile, and deposit collection via automated email — all integrated.

    Milton Keynes Marina replaced a 20-year-old ASP.NET booking system with HireHelm. Price updates that used to take months of developer emails now take 30 seconds. Their hire fleet is managed from a phone on the dock.

    10

    The Lighthouse Partner Programme

    PayCamp isn't built in isolation — it's shaped by real operators through the Lighthouse Partner Programme. Sites like Milton Keynes Marina and Huntingdon Boathaven help test features before they ship, ensuring everything works in the real world before it reaches your dashboard.

    🏗️ Built With Real Operators

    PayCamp is shaped by the Lighthouse Partner Programme — real site operators like Milton Keynes Marina who help build and test features before they ship. MK Marina switched from a 20-year-old booking system and went live with PayCamp in a single day.
