Unmanned Campsite Shop & New Revenue Stream
A new revenue stream with no shop to build and no staff to hire
CampaShop turns your whole site into a shop that sells around the clock. Guests buy on an outdoor touchscreen or their own phone and pay by card or PayPal, then collect from a pickup point you keep stocked or have it delivered to their pitch. You can also take bookings for yoga or pottery classes or similar services.

See a campsite shop that never closes
A day at a farm campsite with CampaShop: firewood delivered to the pitch by 5pm, breakfast collected from the stock shed, a pizza with a text when it is ready, and a farm experience booked in two-hour slots. Stock, live orders and bookings managed in CampaPortal.
Why most campsites never open a shop
- A purpose-built shop means planning, building and fit-out costs before you sell a single bag of logs.
- Shop staff cost wages for every opening hour, and quiet hours rarely cover them, so many sites never open a shop at all.
- Guests still want firewood, food and things to do, so without a shop that money is spent off site or not at all.
The CampaShop Approach
Sell goods and services from anywhere on your site
CampaShop adds a revenue stream without the overheads of a traditional shop. An outdoor touchscreen and guests' phones do the selling and take card and PayPal payments, so there is no shop to build, no till to run and nobody behind a counter. Products go on sale the moment you add them in CampaPortal, and 90% of every sale is paid to your PayPal account.
Choose how each item reaches guests. Stock a pickup point such as a firewood store, a fridge or a shed, say where it is in the item description, and restock it on your rounds, switching items to sold out in a tap when they run low. Or deliver to the pitch and tell guests when with a message such as "Your firewood will be delivered to your pitch by 5pm".
Services sell just as well as goods. Take bookings for yoga or pottery classes or similar services by listing each time slot as its own item, such as "Pottery class, Saturday 2pm", and switch it to sold out when it is full. Ask guests for the details you need at checkout. CampaShop also replaces the cash honesty box, and runs alongside CampaVolt, CampaNet, CampaGuard and CampaCash in the free CampaPortal.

Questions this page answers
How can a campsite make extra revenue without opening a shop?
Sell through a self-service shop such as CampaShop. Guests buy firewood, food, hire items and bookings for classes or similar services from an outdoor touchscreen or their own phone and pay by card or PayPal. Items are collected from a pickup point you keep stocked or delivered to the pitch, so there is no shop building to put up and no shop staff to hire.
How can I run a campsite shop without staff?
Use a self-service shop such as CampaShop. Guests choose products on an outdoor touchscreen or their own phone and pay by card or PayPal, so the shop keeps selling when reception is closed. Every sale appears in CampaPortal so you can restock, deliver or hand over the items.
Can guests collect items from a pickup point?
Yes. Say in each item's description where to collect it, such as the firewood store by reception or the fridge in the utility block, and keep the pickup point stocked. Switch an item to sold out in CampaPortal when it runs low and back on when you restock.
Can a campsite take bookings for yoga or pottery classes or similar services?
Yes. List each session as its own item, for example "Pottery class, Saturday 2pm", with a price, photo and description. Guests book and pay for a place, you can ask them for any details you need, and you switch the session to sold out when it is full.
Can guests order items to their pitch?
Yes. Show a message before purchase such as "Your firewood will be delivered to your pitch by 5pm" and ask guests for any details you need, so they know exactly how and when their order will arrive.
What is a good alternative to a campsite honesty box?
A card payment shop. CampaShop replaces the cash tin with a touchscreen and phone shop where guests see photos and prices, pay by card or PayPal, and every sale is recorded. If you would rather keep taking coins, CampaCash is a digital honesty box that accepts 50p, £1 and £2 coins.
How do guests pay and how does the campsite get paid?
Guests pay by card or PayPal. CampaTech keeps a 10% service fee and 90% of every sale is paid to the campsite's PayPal account. You can also allow cash payment for selected items.
How much does CampaShop cost?
The 21.5-inch outdoor touchscreen is £599.99 + VAT and the 10-inch outdoor touchscreen is £399.99 + VAT. The shop is managed in the free CampaPortal, and a 10% service fee applies to shop sales.
Does CampaShop need WiFi?
Yes. The touchscreen needs a WiFi connection where it is installed. If you do not have coverage there yet, CampaNet and the free WiFi Plan tool can help you plan it.
