Kipdown would cost this much more than the commission, after its £490 a year
£0How it's worked out
The commission is your bookings for the year, times the share that comes through the listing site, times its rate. The rates are each site's own published host fees, checked in November 2026, including VAT for a business that isn't VAT registered.
Listing sites are good at finding guests who've never heard of you, so most owners keep them. The saving comes from guests who already know you, such as repeat visitors and people who find you on Google, booking on your own website instead.
Kipdown costs £490 a year, or £49 a month, with nothing taken from each booking. Card fees, from 1.5% plus 20p on a UK card, apply whichever way guests pay. See what campsite booking software costs for the full picture.
