Navigation issues

In order to prevent parking difficulties, it is possible to establish different parking sector. That way, camps will prevent circling the parking lots searching for a place because visitors will be able to enter only the sector where their parking spot is allocated.

Glamping campsites bring glamour to regular camping, in other words, it is upscale camping. All services, including parking, need to provide some extra value. If you wish to provide your guests with a specific parking space, it is not enough to provide parking security at entry and exit points. Parking barriers should be installed at designated parking spots so that only guests who have reserved that space can use it.

Cash payment problems
For a number of reasons, paying for parking in camps is highly inconvenient and problematic. With a cash-only payment system, guests will need cash, most likely coins to pay for parking service. If they are not informed earlier about paying in cash, guests probably won’t expect it and it will create unnecessary stress. Paying in cash will most likely lead to traffic congestion at parking exits. Foreign visitors will face more challenges since they would need to exchange money to pay for parking. A solution for that would be having a parking system that supports credit cards payments. Also, it should be possible to pay for parking at the front desk.

Most likely, those amenities offer their services to everyone, not only to guests staying overnight. Non-staying guests using camps services are still customers and they should be able to use parking facilities.

Without real-time data, keeping track of available parking places becomes impossible. When camp staff does not have access to parking occupancy information, they are unable to provide relevant parking instructions to visitors. It is critical to have adequate data in order to provide the best possible service to visitors and to respond swiftly to unexpected situations. Having a technology that delivers real-time information would alleviate parking issues.

Camp personnel sometimes handle stressful situations during long work shifts so it is critical to avoid issues when it comes to parking. It is difficult to arrive in a work shift to an already congested parking lot and spend extra time circling the lot in search of available space. To avoid similar issues, camp personnel should have dedicated parking spots that only they will be able to use.
