Most UK parks already have a WordPress website. The problem isn't the design. It's that guests still can't book on it at 9pm, so they go to Pitchup.
I run HolidayFox, so this isn't a neutral page. Our WordPress plugin is how HolidayFox sits on your site. It isn't an add-on to someone else's booking system.
What you are actually buying
HolidayFox runs your calendar, bookings, payments, guest messages, self check-in and a list of tomorrow's arrivals.
On WordPress, the plugin adds a Book now button where guests see free dates and pay by card on your website. The chat answers after hours. Bookings from Pitchup, Airbnb and Booking.com land in the same calendar.
Today guests pay through the Book now button; paying inside the chat is rolling out. You don't need CampManager, GemaPark or SuperControl to run the calendar.
Put HolidayFox on WordPress

Add the plugin
It puts the Book now button on any page, as a block or with the shortcode [holidayfox_widget]. We do it for you, or your web person can in minutes.

Add the chat
We add it to your site. It answers from your listing and knows which dates are free.
- 3
Connect Pitchup
Pitchup, Airbnb and Booking.com bookings land in your calendar, and your free dates go back to them. Usually about 30 minutes.
- 4
Or we build the site
No WordPress yet? We build you a website with the Book now button built in (Website in a Box).

Vendor figures from each vendor's public site, checked 2026-09-13 for Technophobia (technophobia.uk/tp-pitch-booking-demo) and 2026-09-11 for CBS / Holray / Q-Book. HolidayFox is not a WooCommerce plugin. CBS is, if that's what you want. Technophobia's demo page disagrees with itself on price, so we won't pick a number for them.
Who this is for
- You have WordPress (or will keep it) and guests still email, phone or go to Pitchup after hours.
- You want guests to book on your own website, not on a separate booking page.
- You don't need pitch maps or an owner portal. Those are CampManager / GemaPark extras, not a plugin.

Questions owners ask
Is HolidayFox a WordPress booking plugin?
HolidayFox is a booking system with a WordPress plugin. The plugin puts the Book now button on the site you already have, and we add the chat.
Can I keep CampManager and add a WordPress plugin?
You can, but you don't need to. HolidayFox runs your calendar. Keeping CampManager alongside is up to you.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
No. Guests pay by card through the HolidayFox Book now button (handled by Stripe), not WooCommerce. If you want WooCommerce, Campsite Booking System publishes £25/month for 10 pitches, no commission.
Is this the same as Technophobia TP Pitch Booking?
No. HolidayFox is a booking system with a WordPress plugin and an after-hours chat. Technophobia Ltd (technophobia.uk) sell a WordPress pitch plugin they also brand as Campsite Booking System. Their demo page, checked 2026-09-13, lists from £499 self-install or £999 done-for-you, and a separate card at £1,500 + £49/month. campsitebookingsystem.uk publishes £25/month for 10 pitches. Ask them which one you're buying.
What does HolidayFox cost?
It's free for the Book now button, or from £12.99/month for a website we build for you, plus 5% commission on bookings taken through HolidayFox. No joining fee. Card fees are separate: Stripe, the card-payment company, takes its standard fee (1.5% + 20p for UK cards).
