Frequently Asked Questions

Does Camp Operator have a native app?

Camp Operator is a progressive web app (PWA), which means it works like a native app but runs in your browser. You can add it to your home screen for one-tap access. This approach means you always have the latest version without app store updates.

How does this compare to Campspot's mobile app?

Campspot's native app has limited functionality compared to their desktop version. Camp Operator provides the same full-featured experience on every device. You can do everything on your phone that you can do on a desktop.

Can I check guests in from my phone?

Yes! Full check-in functionality is available on mobile including viewing reservation details, collecting payments, assigning sites, and sending welcome messages.

Does it work offline?

Camp Operator requires an internet connection for most functions, but basic offline viewing is available. Given that most parks have WiFi coverage, this is rarely an issue.

Can I add Camp Operator to my home screen?

Yes! On iOS, tap the share button and 'Add to Home Screen.' On Android, tap the menu and 'Add to Home Screen.' This gives you one-tap access just like a native app.

Will my staff need to download anything?

No. Staff simply visit the Camp Operator website and log in. No app store accounts, no downloads, no installations. Works immediately on any device they have.
