Campspot is management software for campgrounds and RV parks that handles reservations, front desk, camp store sales, and payments. The DualEntry Campspot integration syncs each park’s point-of-sale (POS) activity into DualEntry once a day through Campspot’s API, replacing the manual cycle of downloading flat files from Campspot and uploading them to your ledger.
The Campspot integration is available, but DualEntry enables it for each account. It does not appear as a self-serve tile in the Integrations screen. To turn it on, contact your DualEntry account team or email ask@dualentry.com.

Prerequisites

The Campspot integration posts to companies, accounts, and classifications that already exist in DualEntry. It does not create them, so a mapping that points to a missing or inactive record stops that part of the sync. Set the following up before you request the integration:
  • Companies: Create a DualEntry company for each legal entity that owns one or more parks. See Multi-entity consolidation for how companies and intercompany activity work.
  • Chart of accounts: Finalize your chart of accounts so the revenue, tax, and payment accounts that Campspot activity posts to exist and are active. Depending on how you run your parks, Campspot activity may include site rentals, camp store sales, fees, sales and lodging tax, and card payments.
  • Classifications: If you report by park, set up a classification with one line per park, so you can tag Campspot activity by park in your reports.
  • Campspot access: Have a Campspot administrator ready to provide API access for each park you want to connect.

How the Campspot integration works

The Campspot integration replaces a file-based workflow with a daily API sync. Without it, your team downloads a file from Campspot for each park and uploads it to the ledger, a job that grows with every park you add. Once DualEntry enables the integration for your account, it runs on a daily schedule and does three things:
  1. Reads the latest POS activity for each connected park from the Campspot API.
  2. Maps that activity using the park-to-company and category-to-account mappings you set up with DualEntry, so each park’s activity lands in the right company and on the right GL accounts.
  3. Records the activity in your ledger, where it is available for bank matching against deposits and for period-end close.
Campspot remains the system of record for reservations, guests, and POS transactions. DualEntry holds the accounting view of that activity. The integration suits operators who run several parks, often with each park held in its own legal entity, because those operators carry the most manual file work today. Single-park operators follow the same setup with one park to map.

How to request the Campspot integration

DualEntry sets up the Campspot integration with you rather than through a self-serve screen. Complete the prerequisites first, then work through the park and account mappings with the DualEntry team before the first daily sync runs.
  1. Contact your DualEntry account team or email ask@dualentry.com and say you want to connect Campspot.
  2. Share the list of parks you want to sync and the DualEntry company each one belongs to.
  3. Provide Campspot API access for those parks, following the steps DualEntry sends you.
  4. Review the account mapping with DualEntry, so each Campspot revenue, tax, and payment category maps to a DualEntry GL account.
  5. Agree on a sync start date with DualEntry. If you need activity from before that date, load it with bulk import, which brings records into DualEntry from a CSV or XLSX file.
  6. Compare the first few days of synced activity against Campspot’s own reports for each park before you stop the manual download-and-upload process.
After completing these steps, each connected park’s Campspot activity appears in its DualEntry company every day without a manual upload.

Troubleshoot Campspot sync problems

Most Campspot sync problems trace back to a park or account mapping that no longer matches your DualEntry or Campspot setup. The table below lists common symptoms and what to check. When you contact support at ask@dualentry.com, include the park, the date that is missing or wrong, and the Campspot report total you expected. That lets the team compare the two without a round trip. Use these pages to compare the Campspot integration with other connectors and to find the next step after setup:
