Phase 2. Set Up

We charge a day rate of £350 for the following tasks:

4. General Support for planning - We are not planners but have worked with several and can recommend those best able to support your project, as well as check they are providing the best possible service.
5. Local Planning Authority 60-Day Written Notice - The legal requirement to inform your local Council of your intention to open a temporary campsite for up to 60 days. To include site plan, water and drainage solutions.
6. Advice on the best solutions for power, water and drainage - Depending what size and style of site you decide on, there are a number of different options for providing WCs, showers and power to other facilities.
7. Site plans to maximise the potential of the location - How best to arrange the site to make it easy to manage while maximising your guest’s enjoyment.
8. Website Design & Build - Although it is possible to operate using only third-party affiliate sites (e.g. Pitchup, Hipcamp) most customers also expect to be able to find your own website.  We can provide support in designing and constructing a low cost option that will help you get noticed, earn trust and take more bookings.
9. Third party affiliate selection and set up - There is a huge choice of websites that will offer to market your campsite pitches, all with different pricing structures, markets and levels of success. We have used most of them and will guide you through choosing and setting up the right ones for your site.
10. Marketing - In an increasingly busy market, we will provide you with marketing advice and support to make you stand out from your local competitors and build up a loyal base of customers.
11. Recommended booking and payment systems - How to take and manage bookings and payments to make it easy to control and reconcile.
12. On-site selling and activities - Although you could just offer pitches or glamping units the more ‘added extras’ you can provide the higher your occupancy.  We have refined our offerings and can share our learnings with you.
13. Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) Selection and Set Up - With a simple but effective EPOS system you will be able to provide those added extras for customers and staff.  We can help you choose and set up the most suitable system for your site.
14. Construction Costs and Schedule of Works - Whether you apply for full planning or try the 60 Day exemption, there will be differing levels of facilities and construction required.  We provide realistic cost estimates and a detailed Schedule of Works.  We can also provide onsite project management to help bring your site in on time and budget.
