The reservation book for independent stays
When you're not at the desk, your site still takes the booking
They found the campground on Hipcamp, then wrote after dinner. If nobody answers, they go back and book there. The chat answers when you can't. The booking box takes the dates, the site and the card. Your name is on the door.
The widget on your site is free. 5% only when we take the booking. No joining fee.
Or try the chat — ask about next weekend →Same chat that would sit on your site. Ask it about dates.

What this is
The reservation book for independent stays
A restaurant doesn't send you to a marketplace to book the table. Your campground shouldn't either.
We are not another Hipcamp. Keep Hipcamp and Booking.com for people who don't know you yet. The booking happens on your site.
Your website is the book
The chat answers when you can't. The booking box takes the dates, the room and the card. Your name is on the door.
Your site is the door
The chat and the booking box sit on the website with your name on it. We do not promise US guests from the HolidayFox marketplace.
Written for people who run the place
If one of these is your evening, this is for you
We are not another Hipcamp. Keep Hipcamp and Booking.com for people who don't know you yet. The booking happens on your site. The guest who wants your place books with you, on your website.
Campgrounds
They found you on Hipcamp, then wrote after dinner. If your own website can't take the reservation, they finish the booking there.
Glamping
The cabin is booked by email. Guests who can't pay on your website go back to the listing they came from.
Private RV parks
A Facebook page or a phone number is the whole web presence. Evening calls still don't take the card.
Small lodges
Repeat guests still land on Booking.com because the website won't take the card when the desk is closed.
They book with you
They write their name in your book
This is the real booking box, the way it sits on a partner's own site. Guests pick dates, see what's actually free, and pay here. They never leave for someone else's checkout.
- What's free comes from your own diary
- They pay on your site — you keep the guest
- We drop it onto the site you have, or WordPress
Three steps
The book, the door, the booking
Step 1
The book sits on your website
Chat and booking box on the site you have — or we host the whole thing. Your name on the door.
Step 2
They book on your website
People already looking for your campground land on your site and book there. They don't check out on someone else's page.
Step 3
They book you. You keep the guest.
5% on bookings taken through HolidayFox, only when the guest books with you.
What changes for you
The evening enquiry stops leaking
Someone answers when you can't
The 8pm email, the guest writing in another currency, the question about the dog. The chat checks what's free and helps them book — try it at the top of this page.
They pay on your website
Dates, the room or the pitch, the card — on your site. In the widget or in the chat. Not a page with someone else's name on it.
The booking stays on your site
HolidayFox is the website, the diary and the chat. We do not promise a stream of US guests from the HolidayFox marketplace.
The diary stays in one place
Calendar and iCal sync with Airbnb and Booking.com, guest messages, self check-in, payments and tomorrow's arrivals.
The booking stays with you
Your website takes the evening enquiry
Your own site answers when you can't and takes the card. That is the product. We are not promising extra US demand from a marketplace.
Your own website
The booking box and the chat turn people already on your site into a booking with you.
After-hours chat
The 8pm email gets an answer, checks what's free, and helps them book before they go back to Hipcamp.
What you pay
5% when they book on your site
Hipcamp and Booking.com fees depend on the plan, so this page does not quote a percentage for them. The widget has no monthly fee. A hosted website, if you need one, is £12.99 a month, billed in pounds.

Owners usually ask
Will this replace Hipcamp? Do I need to be technical?
Are you another Hipcamp?
No. Hipcamp is a marketplace. HolidayFox is the reservation book on your own website. Keep the listings you already have. The guest who wants your campground books with you.
How much does it cost?
The widget on your site is free, plus 5% commission on bookings taken through HolidayFox. A hosted website, if you need one, is £12.99 a month, billed in pounds. No joining fee. Cancel anytime.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Adding the widget is a single snippet, or we build the whole site for you. Day-to-day booking management is a straightforward dashboard.
Will this work next to Hipcamp or Booking.com?
Yes. Keep those listings. HolidayFox is the direct booking channel on your own site, with iCal so a booking in one place can block the others.
Do you already send US campers from the marketplace?
No. We will not tell you a listing elsewhere is already filling US sites. The reason to use this is the booking on your own website.
