Campground Views has officially launched ACRE, the Automated Campground Reservation Engine - a new reservation and park management platform built specifically for outdoor hospitality.
After more than a decade of working alongside campground owners, we repeatedly heard the same frustrations: software that was difficult to learn, rigid systems that forced operators to change the way they worked and fees that grew alongside their success.
We believed there was a better way. So we built ACRE.
Built Around the Way Outdoor Hospitality Operators Work
ACRE was designed from the ground up to make running a park simpler. Its intuitive workflows manage complex processes behind the scenes, giving operators the tools they need without creating another technical burden.
The platform brings reservations, day-to-day operations, guest communication, payments, reporting and marketing together in one connected system. Operators can manage their businesses with greater confidence while maintaining control of their guest relationships and data.
ACRE also replaces percentage-based booking commissions with one predictable flat rate. As a park grows, its software costs do not have to consume a larger share of every booking.
Simple to use. Predictable flat-rate pricing. Zero booking commissions.
Connecting Discovery Directly to Booking
What makes ACRE truly different is its direct connection to the Campground Views ecosystem.
For years, Campground Views has helped campers explore outdoor destinations through one of North America’s largest libraries of 360° campground virtual tours. In July alone, the Campground Views consumer platform generated more than one million tour views.
ACRE connects that visual discovery experience directly to booking. Campers can explore a park, understand the individual sites and move naturally into the reservation process - all while booking directly with the park.
For operators, that means their website and virtual tour can work together as a 24/7 booking resource without adding more operational steps for their team.
Powerful Technology Without the Technical Headache
“Campground owners did not get into this business to spend hours staring at complicated screens,” said Mark Koep, founder and CEO of Campground Views.
That belief shaped every part of ACRE. The platform is built to feel natural from day one, handling the heavy lifting in the background so operators can focus on their guests, their teams and the growth of their businesses.
Parks can launch quickly with a guest-facing booking engine built for ease of use, full data ownership and greater operational control.
Founding Access Is Now Open
ACRE is opening first to a select founding group of outdoor hospitality operators, with several parks already registered for early access.
This launch marks an important new chapter for Campground Views—and the beginning of a more connected future for outdoor hospitality.
Operators interested in seeing ACRE can request an invitation and register for a demo at acre.camp - Founding access is limited.
More Profit Per ACRE.
