WiFi as a profit center!
This can become a profit center for you in several ways:
- Your location gets posted on the national registries of WiFi locations ( brings business!)
- Your visitors have FREE access to the Internet from their laptop, making your resort more attractive!! Starbucks gets $3.95/4 hour visit. Hotels charge $9.95 per day. There is no cost to you for them using the service! There is no monthly fee to providing this service, other than your existing broadband connection. You can also sell advertising on your own log in page! Maybe the amusement park, golf course, theatre or winery.
- Making WiFi available only in your entertainment room adds revenue from increased food and beverage sales.
- You receive a complimentary "landing page" for when they log in. This gives you a chance to remind them of all the great offerings you have!
- We can also provide a monthly newsletter and thank-you card service to let you stay in touch with everyone who has visited your campground! Invite them back before they plan their next weekend or vacation!
Call for details. This can be setup within a few days.

Online Reservations
Click the RESERVATIONS icon at the top right of our front page and take a look. Please enter a pretend reservation and we'll send you a copy of what the spreadsheet looks like. This will work with OR without a spreadsheet program in your computer!!!
Pick elements or entire service
There are dozens of services that campsites can take advantage of,,, but they don't aply to everyone. Maybe your franchise offers the reservations system. Your internet provider may already offer secure, profitable WiFi (wireless internet for your campers).
Pick and choose and we'll either build it for you or provide through your existing web service.
Happy Friday, and enjoy the day!

Website elements you'll probably want:
- Why is your place desireable?
- Activities, services, features/benefits
- Photo Albums
- Location - maps - directions
- Accomodations: RV hookups, tent sites, cabins, rentals
- Internet access, game room, laundry...
- Events: Weekly, special events, events nearby
- Rates
OK, so it's going to be pretty much the same for every campground... give or take having gambling and slots... ( go figure)
As far as I can tell, this can all be covered in a simple one page website, but there's something to be said for your webistes with LOTS of copy and interesting things to look at. Readers Digest Clearing House has proven that "long copy sells". You don't want shortcuts to create the image that you cut corners everywhere.
Make a list of things you want to tell folks that will make a difference... do some searches on the internet to see what websites you enjoy and would be good examples of how you would be comfortable appearing. Maybe even tear out pages from camping magazines that have images you like. Then we'll start cutting and pasting to create a site for you!~
More as time permits,

Websites made easy for campsite owners
Most of the techniques we will present can be done by anyone with access to the internet, with the simplest tools we can find for you.
Yes, we'll do a website for you, or give you a hand with the sections you have dificulty with. We'd like to make a living, just like everyone else. However, our premise is: If you can do it yourself there's no reason to charge you for that! ( you may also enjoy our other website www.sowhoneedsawebguyanyway.com )
Don't hesitate to call with questions, or shoot us an email if we can give you a hand.
and,
Enjoy the day!
