A complete glamping management system — for the whole guest journey

From the moment a guest discovers you to the moment they post their review — everything they need is handled through your HolidayPitches platform.

All glamping unit types

Shepherd huts, bell tents, glamping pods, yurts, treehouses, safari lodges — create a unit type for every accommodation you offer. Each gets its own photos, description, amenity list, and pricing.

Premium branded guest portal

Your guests get a beautifully branded booking portal at yoursite.holidaypitches.com. They manage their booking, access itineraries, book features, and order food — all from the same experience, tailored to your brand.

Food ordering to the unit

Guests scan a QR code at their unit or use the guest portal to browse your menu and place orders. Orders go to your kitchen screen in real time. Payment taken via Stripe. Works for on-site cafés, hamper deliveries, and breakfast ordering.

Feature & activity booking

Create timed bookable slots for hot tubs, spa treatments, archery, kayaking, pizza oven sessions, or any experience. Guests book through the portal during their stay. Set per-slot capacity and daily limits per guest — staff can override with a warning.

Entertainment listings

Create your entertainment schedule — live music, yoga, storytelling, star-gazing nights — and publish it so guests see only events during their booking dates. Guests discover your programme through the portal with no effort on their part.

Verified guest reviews

Only guests who have completed a stay can leave a review — so every review on your page is genuine. Automatic post-stay email invites them to review. Star rating average displayed on your booking page and in search results.

QR check-in at arrival

Guests show their QR code from the confirmation email. Staff scan it on any mobile device to see the booking, unit, party size, and any special requests. One tap checks them in — no paper processes, no queues.

Group glamping bookings

Hen parties, family retreats, and corporate away days managed under a single group booking. Assign multiple units to the group, track each member, and manage arrivals and any feature bookings for the whole group together.

Revenue reports & insights

Revenue broken down by unit type, experience bookings, and food ordering for any date range. See your most popular units, best-selling experiences, and seasonal booking patterns. Export to CSV for your accounts.

How HolidayPitches works for a glamping business

From unit setup to post-stay reviews — the full guest journey, automated.

  1. 1

    Set up your glamping units and experiences

    Create a unit type for each accommodation you offer — shepherd hut, bell tent, glamping pod, treehouse. Add photos, descriptions, included amenities, max occupancy, and nightly price. Then configure your bookable features (hot tubs, spa, activities) as timed slots with capacity limits.

  2. 2

    Guests discover and book online

    Your glamping site is listed on HolidayPitches and gets its own branded booking page. Guests see photos, unit descriptions, and availability — and book and pay by card in under 3 minutes. They instantly receive a confirmation email with their booking reference and a link to their guest portal.

  3. 3

    Guests use the premium guest portal throughout their stay

    Before and during their stay, guests log in to the guest portal to view their booking, browse the entertainment listing for their dates, reserve hot tub sessions and activity slots, and order food to their unit. All from their phone — no paper brochures.

  4. 4

    Collect verified reviews after checkout

    Two days after checkout, guests receive an automated email inviting them to leave a review. Reviews are verified (only guests who have completed a stay can review), display on your public booking page with a star rating average, and help drive new bookings from search.

Pricing designed for glamping businesses

The base HolidayPitches platform is 1% per booking. The glamping module adds a further 1%, giving a total of 2% per booking. Online bookings are collected via Stripe automatically; manual and walk-in bookings are tracked and invoiced monthly. The platform fee is capped at 4% regardless of how many modules you activate.

Questions from glamping site owners

Can I show photos of each glamping unit type on my booking page?

Yes — each unit type has its own gallery. Upload multiple photos of the interior and exterior of each accommodation type. Guests see the gallery when selecting a unit on your booking page. A high-quality photo gallery is one of the most powerful conversion tools for glamping bookings.

How do guests book a hot tub session?

You configure hot tub slots in the feature booking section — set the number of slots per day (e.g. 3 slots × 1.5 hours), set the maximum number of guests per slot, and configure any per-session fee. Guests with an active booking can reserve slots through their guest portal for any date within their stay. The system prevents double-booking automatically.

Can I take food orders to glamping units in the evening?

Yes — the food ordering system supports delivery to specific units. Guests choose their unit from a dropdown when ordering. Your kitchen screen shows the order, the unit number, and the time placed. You can configure service modes — delivery to unit, counter collection, or both.

How do verified reviews work?

Two days after a guest checks out, HolidayPitches sends them an automated email with a review link. The link is personalised to their completed booking — only guests who have actually stayed can leave a review. Reviews display on your public booking page with a star average and can only be responded to by you. No anonymous reviews.

Can I list entertainment events like outdoor cinema or live music?

Yes — create events on your entertainment calendar with date, time, name, description, and image. Guests see events that fall within their booking period on the guest portal. You can copy recurring events (e.g. a weekly bonfire session) to multiple dates in one action.
