Premium · Interactive 360° Campground Maps

A Google-Street-View-grade tour of your park, embedded in your booking flow.

Most "campground maps" are a 2008 PDF or a Photoshop drawing of trapezoid sites. Ours is a real, navigable, drone-captured 360° tour, with every pad tagged, click-to-book, and indexed by Google. Guests pick the actual site they want.

Live demo · click + drag to look around

This is a real tour of Elm Hill, drone-captured.

Click and drag inside the tour to navigate. Site-tagged hotspots drop into the booking flow with that exact pad preselected. Mobile: pinch + drag works the same.

The case

Why guests pay more when they can see the actual pad

Guests booking RV sites have one fear that no booking page addresses: "Am I going to get stuck next to the dumpster?" A flat map cannot answer that. A photo gallery cannot answer that. A 360° tour with site-tagged hotspots can, and the moment a prospect can see the actual pad, the trees, the view, the neighbor distance, three things change at once. They book longer stays, they leave better reviews, and they complain less because expectations were set accurately.

It is also a permanent SEO asset. A 360° tour gets crawled, indexed, and shows up in Google Image Search and the Local 3-Pack with a "View" badge, the kind of organic real estate that takes serious ad spend to match. Most parks pay for this kind of visibility every quarter; this delivers it once.

Old map vs interactive tour

Why every other "campground map" is a brochure.

Dimension Traditional campground map Campground Management 360° tour
Format Static PDF or Photoshop trapezoid grid. Drone-captured navigable 360° photosphere with site-tagged hotspots.
Site-level info A number on a square. Click any pad: type, length, hookups, pet policy, photos, real-time availability.
Booking integration None, guest emails to ask which site is open. Hotspot click drops guest into booking flow with that exact site preselected.
SEO Zero, PDFs do not rank. Indexed photosphere + ImageObject + Place schema. Often ranks in Google Images.
Mobile experience Pinch-to-zoom on a PDF nobody can read. Touch-pan navigable tour, full-screen mode, no app required.
Update cycle Whenever someone remembers. Annual re-shoot maintains seasonal accuracy; hotspot data updates from your booking system live.

What's included

Every piece of the engagement.

Half-day on-site drone capture

A licensed FAA Part 107 pilot on-property for ~4 hours. We capture the entire grounds, every loop, every amenity, every site, at golden hour for the best light.

Hotspot tagging per site

Every numbered pad gets a clickable hotspot showing site type, length, hookups, pet policy, and a "Book this site" link that drops the guest into the booking flow with that exact site preselected.

Mobile-responsive viewer

Pinch-to-zoom on phones, touch-drag panning, full-screen mode. Works on every device, no plugin or app required.

Embedded in your booking flow

Step 2 of your booking page is no longer a sad list, it is the live tour with availability filtering. Guests pick the actual site they want.

Schema markup + image sitemap

Search-engine-discoverable so the tour shows up in Google search. Includes Place + ImageObject + LodgingBusiness schema.

Re-shoot annually (optional)

Yearly re-capture so seasonal changes (new amenities, landscaping, expansions) stay current. $1,500 each, optional.

If/then

When the tour earns its keep first.

If
You have a wide range of site types or scenic-premium pads.
Then
You are the ideal customer. The tour's upsell economics are dramatically stronger when there is real differentiation between sites.
If
Your park is mostly homogenous gravel back-ins.
Then
Tour still helps with bookings + SEO, but the upsell math is weaker. Consider pairing with site-level photography upgrades.
If
You are mid-rebuild or expanding.
Then
Wait until the work is done. Re-shooting at $1,500 each gets expensive if the property is changing.
If
You are in a destination market with high competition.
Then
The tour is a differentiator your competitors literally cannot match without spending the same money. That gap is real.

Week 3

Common questions

What operators ask before saying yes.

Do you fly the drone yourself? +
Yes, every shoot is flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed commercial drone pilot. We do not subcontract this; the capture quality is too dependent on flight skill and condition awareness to hand off.
What if my park has tree canopy? +
Most properties have a mix; we plan capture points to navigate canopy correctly. For heavily forested parks (50%+ canopy cover), we add a ground-level capture pass with a 360° rig, slightly more time but the tour quality holds.
How is this different from a Google Street View tour? +
Google Street View is shot at one moment in time, has no booking integration, no site-level hotspots, no schema control, and Google can deprecate the imagery whenever they want. Our tour is yours forever, integrates with your booking system, and updates from your real availability.
Can we update individual sites without re-shooting? +
Hotspot data (site type, length, hookups, pet policy, photos) updates from your booking system live, change it once, the tour reflects immediately. The photosphere imagery only updates on re-shoot, which is why annual re-captures matter for parks under active landscaping change.
Will it slow down my site? +
No, the tour lazy-loads on demand and uses the same CDN as the rest of the booking flow. Median LCP impact across our deployments: under 80ms.
What if the weather is bad on shoot day? +
We reschedule. Bad-light captures produce bad-conversion tours, and we will not ship those. Reshoots are at no additional charge if weather is the cause.
