How to Update Nightly Rates for Campsites

If you have added a New Site Type to your Admin Site, you will probably also want to assign rates as well.

Q: Can I not just follow the process on the How to Update Nightly Rates for Campsites article?

The steps provided in that article will be used as well, but there is one additional step required to properly upload rates for this new Site Type.

1. Find the Campsite Type ID for your new Site Type

Navigate to the Reporting page.

Search and run the Base Price Template for Campsites Report

Open the CSV Excel document 

Locate and record the Campsite Type ID for the new Site Type created

This report is very similar to the Base Price for Campsites report. The only thing we are using the Base Price Template for Campsites report for in this case is to locate the Campsite Type ID and nothing more. If you use the Base Price Template for Campsites to upload pricing into Campspot, it will erase other very important pricing information.

The Base Price Template for Campsites report should only be used to upload pricing if you want to start with a clean slate.

2. Add the New Site Type to your Base Pricing

Navigate to the Reporting page.

Search and run the Base Price for Campsites Report

Open the CSV Excel document

Add the Campsite Type ID and Site Type to the report in a new row

Update the rates for this new Site Type in each column where applicable

Save the CSV document to your computer

3. Upload the CSV Document to Campspot

Q: What is the difference between the Base Price for Campsites and Base Price Template for Campsites?

The Base Price Template should only be used to reset all of your rates, including historical rates. The other good use of this document is to reference New Site Type's Campsite Type ID.
