Many sites still run on a cash box and a first-come queue
In many countries, the campsite is still an open field with parking, shared power, a shower block, and an attendant who collects cash in the evening.
Nothing is metered. Everything is first-come, first-served, and revenue depends on who happens to be at the till. Cash isn't always collected, electricity and water are free to use, and you're left with almost no record of who stayed, in what, and what they actually paid.
Since guests can arrive and leave 24/7, you either need at least four employees on shift, or you lose revenue whenever check-in or payment isn't handled. And even if you're fully staffed at peak season — what about the rest of the year?
Autlo replaces the attendant with an automated payment system. Guests reserve and pay via the app, webshop, or an on-site machine — no cash, no queues, no one collecting money by hand.
Everything is metered and logged automatically: who stayed, in what, for how long, and what they used. When something is free, people don't think twice about using it — metering changes that, so guests use only what they need, and what used to be free water or electricity can turn into significant extra revenue.
Since it all runs automatically, guests can check in and pay any time — day or night — without you needing staff on site.
Built for every kind of site
The same platform fits a tents-only field, a full-service holiday park, or anything in between.
Campsites
Tent pitches billed by night and party size, with shared power and showers turned into paid, metered services.
Camping grounds
Mixed camping with seasonal demand: day visitors, weekenders and long stays, each priced on their own rules.
RV parks
Motorhome and campervan pitches with metered electricity, water and waste, priced by vehicle size and length of stay.
Caravan parks
Touring and static caravan parks with reservations, season passes and add-on services all in one account.
Charge for every stay — and every service you offer
Here are some examples of what our Campsite & RV Park Payment System can invoice for.
Pay for the stay
Guests pay on arrival for exactly what they use — the stay's duration and vehicle type. A tent, a caravan or a large motorhome can be priced differently, whether it's for a night, a weekend or a full season.
Reservations
Let guests book and pay for a pitch in advance to hold their spot. If it's a gated park, the gate camera will recognise them on arrival and open automatically.
Metered electricity
Bill power by actual consumption from a metered post, so heavy users pay their share instead of a flat fee everyone resents.
Electric car charging
Offer managed EV charging on the same account and pricing rules as the pitch, with no separate system to run.
Water on demand
Turn on a water tap for a set time or volume once payment is made — a simple pay-per-use model that cuts waste and adds revenue.
Showers
Enable and disable individual showers on payment, replacing the coin box with app, card or code access.
Add-ons, events and the rules that keep a site running
Laundry
Charge per wash or dry cycle and unlock the machine on payment, with every transaction logged.
Premium facilities
Sell access to the pool, private beach or gym as an add-on or as part of a package, controlled at the door.
Event pricing
Apply special rates for peak weekends, festivals or local events, then return to normal pricing automatically.
Let guests pay the way they prefer
Every channel settles to the same account, with the same pricing rules and reporting behind it.
Webshop
Reserve and pay online before arrival: pitches, passes and add-on services bought in advance.
Mobile App
Pay for the stay and start services from a phone, in the Autlo app or a white-label app carrying your own brand.
On-site payment machine
Card and contactless at the entrance or facilities block, on a white-labelled self-service terminal that replaces the cash box.
A dedicated white-label campground app
Give guests one app under your own name that runs the whole visit: reserve a pitch, pay for the stay, top up metered electricity or water, start a shower, unlock the laundry, book the pool, and open the gate on arrival. It runs on the same platform and account as everything else on this page.
Your brand, our platform
Reservations, payments, metered services and gate access in one branded app, with no separate logins for your guests and no separate systems for you.
The technology that runs it
ANPR-based payments
The number plate is the payment token. Recognise the vehicle on entry, match it to a booking or account, and price the stay automatically.
Connects to any camera
Use the cameras you already have or add ours; the platform is hardware-agnostic across ANPR feeds.
Connects to any gate
Trigger any barrier, boom or bollard at the entrance, plus man-door access to the facilities block, on a valid read or payment.
Open by day, closed by night
Set the entrance to stay open during the day and close overnight, with man-door access still available to paying guests.
Flexible cost calculation
Price by vehicle type, length of stay, time of day or event, combining rules per pitch, zone or season.
Metered usage billing
Bill electricity and water by real consumption, so guests pay for what they use and nothing is given away unrecorded.
Part of the whole Autlo platform
Use one part, or run the full suite. These modules pair naturally with campsite and RV park payments.
