    An honest comparison

    Both are capable tools. Here is where each one tends to fit best.

    PayCamp is the better fit for

    UK operators running a mix of campsite, caravan park and marina or mooring sites who want bookings, billing, payments and an included website in one flat-priced system.

    CampManager is the better fit for

    Campsite and holiday-park operators who want a long-established, campsite-specific booking system with OTA distribution and do not need marina or mooring features.

    The key difference

    CampManager is a mature, campsite-focused booking platform with strong distribution. PayCamp is broader — campsites, caravan parks and marinas — includes a branded website, and uses flat monthly pricing rather than booking fees.

    Typical PayCamp operator

    A site moving off spreadsheets that also runs moorings, or that wants its own website included.

    Why Operators Choose PayCamp

    One platform across campsites, caravan parks and marinas — not campsite-only

    Flat monthly pricing with no per-booking fees

    Branded partner website included at no extra cost

    UK VAT, BSS compliance and electricity metering built in

    Connected ecosystem: HireHelm boat hire, Yard Manager, ServicePay
