If you want to stay ahead of the competition while providing your guests with the best possible experience, you need a proper Reservation Management System.
We thought it’d be helpful to give you an inside look at two of the best caravan management software suites in the industry — RoverPass and ResNexus — and show you where each stands among the competition. We might have our preference, but we’ll always give it to you straight. Let’s dive in.

Overview: ResNexus
Skip to RoverPass overviewResNexus has spent the last 16 years helping the travel sector bridge technological gaps and streamline the online booking process for travelers and owners. ResNexus’ relative long-time in the industry enables them to offer stability and security to their customers.
For example, ResNexus’ pricing model is fixed instead of reservation-based. They claim that once you sign up, your price won’t change — though keep in mind that their platform is not cheap! ResNexus has a large customer support team & boasts PCI-level security that some smaller competitors don’t.
Let's take a closer look.
Cloud Based Reservation System
Like a few other reservation management solutions in the caravan and holiday parks space, ResNexus serves hotels, Airbnbs, and other lodging-based businesses. This wide net, coupled with their 16 years in the space, has helped them gather plenty of knowledge about the challenges owners face and what services & features travelers want. Some standout features from ResNexus’ platform are:
Streamlined Shopping Process:
The booking engine is easy to use and immediately presents to travelers essentials they should buy from your general store during the booking process (See the
RoverPass Point Of Sale System)Marketing Automation:
ResNexus simplifies marketing efforts with its intuitive marketing automation features. Automatically send guests reminders about upcoming bookings, detailed instructions for their stay, and personalized recommendations for local attractions. Additionally, ResNexus offers promotional sidebars that prominently display your latest deals and special offers, ensuring that guests are aware of everything your park has to offer. These tools help enhance guest engagement and improve their overall experience while driving additional revenue opportunities for your business.
However, RoverPass takes marketing automation further with Zapier integration, offering mass mailing and SMS solutions that seamlessly integrate with all available marketing tools. This integration enhances your relationship with customers, enabling personalized communication and targeted marketing strategies to boost engagement and satisfaction.
Reservation Grid:
The Reservation Grid allows you to get a full view of your availability while you accept reservations online or over the phone. The Grid shows you which sites guests are trying to book in real-time (the RoverPass Grid works similarly and uses cutting edge
Optimized Site Assignment Logic that automatically selects the optimal site in your park for the calendar dates of each new booking).
Custom Reporting & Analytics:
ResNexus has 10+ reporting categories & 65+ reports about occupancy, revenue, taxes, payments made, reservations, and operations — those much-needed analytics to say the least! RoverPass reporting is similar and helps you maximize revenue from every site.
Security & Support:
The ResNexus system has great security features you don’t get with other reservation management platforms. The system is PCI-compliant, includes password update requirements, and third-party security auditing. The large customer support team is rated 5-stars across the web (
RoverPass customer support is also a crowd favorite).
Website Option:
ResNexus can provide your campground with a mobile-friendly, SEO-optimized, ADA-compliant website, including hosting, security, and design. Their website building feature is fantastic, but it’s pricey and includes setup and other fees.
RoverPass can get your website needs taken care of for less.Training & Other Resources:
ResNexus shares industry advice, provides a video support library, hosts webinars, and a ResNexus Academy to help you learn about how to get the most out of their system. RoverPass has a
comprehensive Help Center full of articles that provide tips, tricks, and guides on how to use all of your RoverPass features to the full!
