RV Park Direct Bookings
Drive more reservations through your own booking engine and keep the commissions you'd otherwise lose to OTAs. Own your guest relationships and grow repeat revenue.
Why Direct Bookings Win
Every direct reservation is higher-margin and builds a guest relationship you control.
Your Own Booking Engine
A branded, real-time reservation site means guests book with you directly — no middleman, no commission.
Keep Every Dollar
OTAs take 10–15% per booking. Direct reservations put that margin straight back into your NOI.
Own the Guest Relationship
Capture guest contact info so you can re-market directly and turn first-timers into repeat regulars.
Direct vs. OTA Bookings
OTAs have their place for discovery — but direct bookings are where the margin lives.
| Factor | Direct | OTA |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 0% | 10–15% per booking |
| Guest contact info | You own it | Often withheld |
| Branding | Your park, front and center | OTA brand dominates |
| Repeat bookings | Easy to re-market | Guest belongs to OTA |
| Pricing control | Full control | Rate parity rules apply |
