Many municipalities offer pitches for campers free of charge. We are often asked whether it makes sense to advertise such pitches on Parkn'Sleep and let campers check in on site.

Yes, it makes absolute sense to advertise free pitches! We tell you why:

Visibility

Your pitch ad will be displayed in the search and on the map. Campers will also drive to the site via Parkn'Sleep and your region will benefit from more visitors.

Live availability display

Campers see the current availability of your pitch (based on the checked-in vehicles on site) and do not have to check if the pitch is still available. Safety and time saving for campers and eliminating noise pollution on site.

Tourism tax

With the system, a tourism tax can be set in addition to the price. Depending on the setting, this is calculated per person or as a lump sum and can be paid directly to the appropriate office. The tax turns campers into "real" guests and creates added value for the region. Fairness opposite camping sites and hotels, where taxes are made, is a further point - pitches receive so more acceptance.

Security

The campers are registered with personal data. In case of violations, it can be traced at any time who was on the site at what time.

Infrastructure development

If you should decide in the future nevertheless for a small overnight tariff, this can be adapted at any time. For example, to cover the costs of planned infrastructure or cleaning or maintenance work. Campers are usually happy to pay a fee if the service is good enough.

No costs

We charge a commission of 15% on the overnight fee. Consequently, we do not charge a commission on free pitches. There are also no hook-up or subscription fees. Why is that? Because we share this philosophy and want to support free pitches.
