What does a campsite website cost?

The four ways to get a campsite website

Every campsite ends up choosing between the same four options. The right one depends on your budget, how often your content changes, and how much you want to do yourself.

• Web agency: custom design, typically a few thousand euros upfront plus a maintenance contract. Every text change goes through the agency.
• Freelancer: cheaper than an agency, but quality varies, and you depend on one person for every update.
• Generic website builder (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress): low monthly cost, but you build everything yourself - and booking, multilingual content, and guest info need plugins you have to assemble and maintain.
• Camping platform like CampingHosting: fixed monthly price, camping-specific pages, booking and translations included, and you update content yourself.

The costs nobody puts on the quote

The upfront price is only half the story. A custom website needs hosting, SSL, plugin updates, security patches, and a developer every time you want a new section. Translations cost extra per language. A booking module is usually a separate system with its own subscription - or commission. Over three years, a 'cheap' custom site often costs more than a platform subscription.

What CampingHosting costs

One subscription covers the website, hosting, SSL, the booking system, the guest info portal, and automatic translation into up to ten languages. No setup fee, no commission on bookings, no maintenance contract. See the pricing page for current plans.

When a custom website is worth it

If your camping is part of a chain with strict brand guidelines, or you need integrations no platform offers, a custom build can be justified. For most independent campsites and holiday parks, a specialized platform delivers more - booking, translations, guest communication - for a fraction of the total cost.
