Rutherfordton, NC - Point, click,
reserve a camp site.
That’s the new motto for River Creek Campground, which
just added a real-time, Internet reservation system to help attract
campers to their scenic park.
River Creek's reservation system is powered by ReservationFriend,
an Internet-based business solution that offers three service options,
including an online reservation tool, a Web-based front office management
system and Web site hosting and maintenance. Campground and RV park
owners choose the options they want and then custom tailor the system
to fit their own, unique business models.
River Creek owner C.J. Sands has been researching online reservation
systems for several years now, and he has even tested several
different products. He says ReservationFriend.com is the best
fit for his business.
“This product has been built with the industry in mind. It’s
the only one that completely handles the reservation process from
start to finish,” said Sands.
The reservation system is significant for River Creek because the
campground and RV park currently gets about 80 percent of its first-time
business from the Internet. The RV park is located on the Broad
River near Chimney Rock Park where the movie “The Last of
the Mohicans” was filmed. The RV park offers cabins, RV hookups
and tents. More information is available at www.rivercreek.info.
ReservationFriend.com makes travel easier for customers because
it operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provides instant
confirmation for online reservations.
The system is unique for campground owners because it uses one tool
to automatically integrate the park’s inventory with online
reservations, eliminating over-bookings and minimizing administrative
and clerical chores. ReservationFriend also gives park operators
complete control of their entire system, from the look and feel
of their Web site to the amount of inventory they post online.
The reservation tool is Web-based, providing convenience for park
operators. It requires no expensive software or cumbersome computer
upgrades – only a simple Internet connection.
