Campspot, a campground management and reservation software provider, announced a new Long-Term Stay Referral Program, a pilot initiative designed to help parks connect with guests looking for monthly and seasonal stays, according to a press release.
The program introduces a dedicated Long-Term Stay microsite, where campers can browse extended-stay destinations by state or province and submit inquiries to participating parks. This creates a simple, no-cost referral channel for campgrounds on Campspot.
“Many campgrounds rely on long-term guests as a core part of their business, but online tools for managing that demand have been limited,” said Josh Traxler, COO at Campspot. “By piloting a referral channel and developing broader long-term stay solutions, Campspot is making it easier for operators to capture and serve this important segment.”
Long-Term Demand Remains Strong, Backed by Campspot Data
Campspot’s Special Edition of the Data Dig: 2026 Occupancy Outlook highlights a slight year-over-year increase in 28-day-plus reservations, signaling continued health and even growth in the extended-stay category.
The data also shows that long-term stays are acting as revenue stabilizers for many parks, particularly in southern regions where they help fill shoulder and off-season gaps that transient guests can’t. In markets with strong destination appeal or where guests combine remote work and leisure, extended stays appear to be nudging upward once again. In short, the demand is there, and operators are looking for the right tools to capture it, noted the release.
Long-Term Solutions With Campspot
The Long-Term Stay Referral Program is part of Campspot’s broader investment in long-term stay capabilities. Beyond this pilot, Campspot’s platform already helps parks manage extended guests through features like flexible pricing tools, reservation management for multi-month stays and advanced analytics that help operators forecast and optimize site utilization over time.
By connecting the dots between short-term and long-term demand, Campspot aims to give operators a unified system that supports every type of guest — from weekend campers to seasonal residents.
“This pilot reflects Campspot’s approach to innovation: listen, test, and build alongside our customers,” said Traxler. “We’re paying attention to the evolving needs of our parks and delivering software that helps them adapt and thrive.”
The Long-Term Stay Referral pilot is currently available to existing Campspot parks at no additional cost. Operators interested in learning how Campspot supports long-term stays can visit campspot.com/long-term or request a demo to explore the platform’s capabilities.
