Single-page checklist for attachment
A staff-ready, printable checklist you can attach to confirmation emails or print at the office. Sections: Arrival, Hookups, Campsite Etiquette, Waste Disposal, Local Rules.
Send the full welcome email immediately upon booking (or with the reservation confirmation) so guests have time to prepare. Use a concise day-before SMS 24 hours before arrival to confirm site number, check-in window, and provide a reply keyword for late arrivals.
Include site number, specific hookup details (50A/30A/shore power or none), parking instructions, nearest restroom/showers, and any accessibility notes. For cabins, add key pickup and heating/cooling instructions; for tent sites, mention water access and fire pit rules.
Use non-sensitive placeholders (first name, site number, arrival date) pulled from your reservation system. Avoid including payment details or full addresses in automated messages; link to the guest portal for sensitive information behind authentication.
Family guests respond to warm, reassuring language that highlights kid-friendly amenities and quiet hours. Adventure/backcountry campers prefer concise, practical guidance emphasizing access, trailheads and safety. Provide tone variants and segment messages by booking type.
Use neutral, action-oriented language: state the risk, list simple instructions, and link to an official resources page for updates. Keep notices brief and include contact information for questions to reduce anxiety.
Yes. Use short, benefit-focused blocks that highlight convenience (e.g., 'Firewood delivered to your site') and include a clear CTA. Place promotions after essential logistics so guests see safety and check-in info first.
Provide specific arrival windows, group parking instructions, a designated check-in point, emergency contact, wristband or ID procedure, and a succinct packing checklist. Pre-assign staff or volunteers and list them in the email.
Lead with essential logistics (site, check-in window, hookups), follow with self-check steps and parking maps, then add an FAQ insert and clear contact options (reply, SMS keyword). Include links to printable checklists and maps to minimize calls.
Offer bilingual snippets for key items (check-in, emergency, directions), and flag complex facility names for professional translation. Ensure HTML emails use accessible headings, alt text for maps, and clear, high-contrast CTAs for readability.
Provide precise, step-by-step directions from common approaches (north/south/east), note landmarks, indicate preferred parking areas with lot names, and add a short map image or parking diagram as a printable attachment.
