For pop-up campsites

Booking for a pop-up campsite that's open when you are

Set the weeks you're open, sign up with your Hipcamp or Pitchup listing, and campers book and pay on your own page. You don't need a website.

Made for a short season

Ready in an afternoon, and quiet when you're closed.

Open only on your dates

Set the dates you're open, with the shortest stay for each, such as three nights over the bank holiday. Outside them, nothing can be booked online.

Started from your listing

Sign up with a link to your Hipcamp or Pitchup listing, and Kipdown fills in your stays and prices from it for you to check.

No website needed

Your booking page has its own link for your Facebook page, Instagram, Google listing and emails.

As many pitches as the field holds

No set number of pitches, or a set number, with a limit on people a night to keep within what you're allowed.

Campers on the day

Let guests book for tonight until a time you choose, and see who's arriving on your phone at the gate.

Your listings in step

Keep Hipcamp and Pitchup open alongside, with their bookings copied into your calendar every 15 minutes.

Why a pop-up needs its own booking page

A pop-up has a few weeks to fill, and every booking that comes through a listing site costs about 15% of its value. Campers who've stayed before, or who find you on Facebook or Google, can book with you instead.

Kipdown is free until your first guest books online, and costs £49 a month from then. Monthly plans can be stopped at the end of any month. Use the commission calculator to see what your listing sites take in a season.

Questions from pop-up campsites

Can I take bookings only for the weeks I'm open?

Yes. Set your open dates, and guests can only book within them. You can still add a booking yourself outside them.

How quickly can I start?

Sign up with a link to your listing and Kipdown fills in your stays and prices from it. Check them, connect card payments with Stripe, which takes about ten minutes, and switch on online booking.

I don't have a set number of pitches. Does that work?

Yes. Choose no set number, and add a limit on people a night if you need one.

What happens out of season?

Nothing can be booked online outside your open dates, and your bookings stay where they are for next year.

Take your next booking on your own website

Sign up with a link to your website and see your booking page today. You pay nothing until your first guest books online.
