Where RoverPass is genuinely good

• Clear tiers on a public page. You can see what a small, medium and large park pays without calling a salesperson.
• A lot is included. RoverPass lists a booking calendar, payments, automated email, dynamic pricing, an interactive site map, a channel manager, POS, analytics and multi-property support in all tiers.
• Phone support and a dedicated onboarding person. For an owner who wants a voice on the line, that matters.
• Scale. RoverPass says it works with "2,000+ campgrounds and RV parks" on its home page.
• A marketplace and a channel manager, which can put your sites in front of more campers. CampStack does not have a channel manager.
• Medium-park pricing with no monthly fee, which can suit a park with mid-range volume.
• A choice about who pays. The park can decide whether to absorb the fee.

Where CampStack is different

• No per-reservation fee at all. RoverPass's price rises with bookings once you pass about 28 reservations a month on the small plan. CampStack's does not.
• No camper fee. If a RoverPass park passes the fee to the camper, the camper pays it at checkout. CampStack adds nothing.
• A lower floor. $49 a month against a $99 minimum.
• A published import path. You can start from a CSV, a spreadsheet or your directory listing and check a preview before you commit.

We are also newer and smaller. RoverPass has the larger customer base and the channel manager, and we do not offer that.

How the small-park minimum works

For a small park, RoverPass says $99 a month minimum, with $3.50 per reservation credited toward it. Break-even is about 28 reservations in a month: 99 divided by 3.50 is 28.3. Below 28, you pay $99. Above, you pay 3.50 times your reservations.

Bear in mind that a minimum applied monthly means your slow months still cost $99 each. The pricing page does not say whether a seasonal park can pause. Ask.

RoverPass does not state in the text we reviewed where the line between small and medium sits. Ask what counts as small, medium and large before you compare.

What a park pays at 300, 800 and 1,500 bookings a season

Assumptions: one reservation per booking, the park pays the fee, the plan is billed for 12 months, and add-ons and card processing are excluded. We show the small-park plan and the medium-park plan, since your tier is not something we can tell.

The math: 300 x 3.50 = 1,050, which is under 99 x 12 = 1,188, so a small park pays $1,188. 800 x 3.50 = 2,800. 1,500 x 3.50 = 5,250.

The small-park total is at least these amounts. If your bookings bunch into summer, the monthly minimum compounds in slow months. If a camper pays the fee instead, the park's bill is lower and the camper's goes up by the same amount.

The guest fee question

RoverPass lets the park choose who pays. If you choose to pass it to campers, a $3.50 line appears for every booking. For a three-night stay at $45 a night, a $135 booking, $3.50 is about 2.6% on top. Some campers will not mind. Some will call you instead and book direct by phone.

We say about 2.6% as a plain calculation: 3.50 divided by 135 is 0.026. It is not a RoverPass claim.

A note on marketplaces

RoverPass describes a marketplace where you can list your park alongside many other outdoor stays. A marketplace can bring in campers who would not have found you. It can also mean that a booking you would have gotten anyway arrives with a fee attached. The way to find out is to track where each reservation came from for one season. Ask your software vendor for a report of bookings by source, and compare marketplace bookings to your direct ones. Whichever vendor you choose, a booking from your own website, your own phone line and your own repeat guests costs you least. That is why CampStack puts effort into your own booking page and a free directory listing that sends campers to you.

Questions to ask RoverPass

1. Which tier is my park in, and what are the cutoffs?
2. Do I pay the $99 minimum in months when I am closed?
3. If bookings come in through the RoverPass marketplace, are there extra marketplace fees for me or the camper?
4. Is there a contract, and what does cancellation look like?
5. Is there a setup or onboarding fee?
6. How do I export my sites, guests and reservations if I leave?

Switching from RoverPass

RoverPass documents its reports. In the Owner Portal, open Reports from the left sidebar, choose a report, apply filters, open the three-dot menu and pick a version to download. It opens in Google Sheets or Excel, so save a CSV afterward. Reports include reservation details by site, payments and payouts, and daily arrivals and departures.

Two cautions. Filters carry over to exports, so a leftover filter silently drops rows. And bookings that came through the RoverPass marketplace may carry marketplace fees, so decide whether you want amounts paid recorded gross or net. We did not find a dedicated site list or guest list export, so take sites and guests from the reservation details report or ask support. See the switch guide.

Who should choose which

Choose RoverPass if you want a channel manager and marketplace exposure, you value phone support and a named onboarding person, or you are a medium-size park with the monthly fee waived.

Choose CampStack if you want a flat bill, you take enough bookings that per-reservation fees add up, or you do not want campers to see a fee.
