What is the camper expecting in 2026?

The camping sector has evolved significantly in terms of facilities, design and services.

However, the digital experience remains the great untapped differentiator for many establishments.

Today’s guest compares not only pools or bungalows, but also ease, autonomy and a sense of control during their stay.

Three elements are making the difference in campsites leading this evolution:

🗺️ Interactive map,

🛍️ Integrated digital sales,

📲 Personalised communication.

🗺️ The interactive map: when orientation becomes part of the experience

The map is no longer just a way to find a pitch.

In the most advanced campsites, it has become a true navigation hub: connecting services, enabling bookings and conveying a clear sense of organisation and professionalism.

Guests can:

• See their location within the site

• Discover points of interest

• Check opening times in real time

• Book a court or activity directly

The feeling it creates is clear:

“Everything here is well thought out and connected.”

That perception directly influences the overall evaluation of the establishment.

🛍️ Integrated product sales: frictionless convenience

Today’s guest is used to buying with a single click.

Hiring bikes, booking activities, adding a late check-out or purchasing an extra package should be as simple as any other digital purchase in their daily life.

It’s not just about selling more. It’s about removing friction.

When the process is simple, clear and immediate, the campsite projects modernity, organisation and attention to detail. That consistency between service and digital experience strengthens the perception of quality.

📲 Personalised communication: speaking only when it matters

One of the biggest challenges during peak season is information overload.

Digital tools allow intelligent and segmented communication:

• Activities only for families

• Sporting events only for interested guests

• Important notices only for specific areas

Guests receive less noise and more relevance.

The difference is subtle but powerful: the guest feels the campsite is speaking directly to them.

🌿 The real value: positioning and differentiation

In an increasingly competitive market, the question is no longer whether to digitalise, but how to do so without losing the essence of the campsite.

Establishments that integrate these tools do not lose warmth. They enhance it.

They free teams from repetitive tasks and allow them to focus on what truly creates value: personalised attention and the human experience.

Well-implemented digitalisation does not replace hospitality. It amplifies it.
