Campground Master Online Reservations Support

The most robust online reservation support is available through our alliance with Leisure Interactive (formerly Friend Communications), using a real-time interface with their Reservation Friend online booking engine.

This real-time 2-way integration is an industry first and is only available here.

You can seamlessly integrate their online engine with your own web site to have sophisticated online booking capabilities, and Campground Master can import those reservations made through ReservationFriend.com completely automatically. Availability is automatically updated online as well, so you don't have to maintain both systems. All of your data is stored locally in Campground Master, and also synchronized with the online booking system continuously and fully automatically.

If for some reason ReservationFriend doesn't suit your needs, the program also provides some other options (below) for manually integrating Campground Master with your web site.

You may have read the recent press release announcing a strategic alliance with Leisure Interactive. We are very excited about this alliance and what it means for Campground Master customers.

This strategic alliance with Leisure Interactive enables Campground Master to provide online reservations support with a 2-way "real time" interface, rather than the one-way semi-automatic interface previously employed.

This means that you can make your complete site inventory available online all of the time -- rather than just part of it, part of the time. The availability shown to customers booking through your web site (via the ReservationFriend gateway) will always match the availability in Campground Master, eliminating the possibility of double-booking.

Likewise, reservations made through ReservationFriend will immediately and automatically be reflected in Campground Master (optionally tagged as "pending approval" until you review them), abolishing the need to manually retrieve them periodically. You will still have the ability to change or reject online-submitted reservations if necessary, so you don't give up any control of your inventory.

This new online integration functionality is available now, with version Campground Master 5.0.

Contact us for more information, or contact Leisure Interactive to get started with your online setup. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.

We believe in maximum flexibility, so we give you some other choices if you prefer a do-it-yourself solution. You can use one part of the functionality or any combination of parts which will interact with your own web site:

• Retrieve and extract data submitted on your own web site's reservation forms.
  
  
• Create "vacancy grid" web pages with availability data and upload them to your own web site.
