Groups — extended families, sports associations, parishes, and camper clubs — often represent 15–25% of a campsite’s summer revenue. But they require different management from individual bookings: advance pitch blocking, payment flexibility, and collective check-in.
How to create a group booking in Ovvo Camping
- 1Create a 'group' with a name, group leader, and total number of people.
- 2Assign pitches to the group: you can select adjacent pitches on the map.
- 3Set the group deposit (e.g., 30% of the total, paid by the group leader).
- 4Generate an individual booking link for each family in the group: everyone enters their own details, but the pitches are already reserved.
- 5At check-in, you can perform collective check-in in a single operation or check in each party individually.
- 6Invoicing can be issued as a single invoice to the group leader or separately for each family unit.
Group discounts: how to structure them
| Group size | Recommended discount | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| 5–10 pitches | 5% | Booking made within 60 days |
| 11–20 pitches | 10% | 30% deposit within 30 days |
| 21+ pitches | 15% | Written contract, 50% deposit |
Always require a written contract for groups of more than 10 pitches, including a graduated cancellation clause. A group that cancels 2 weeks before arrival without a penalty can wipe out a week’s revenue.
