ParksControl
Holiday park operations software

Run your park at near‑100% occupancy – with extreme efficiency.

ParksControl turns every booking into the day’s work. Changeover cleans, hot tub tests, gas bottles, maintenance, the rota and the receipts all run from one app – so a small team can turn lodges round fast, every single day.

  • Syncs with CampManager, Beds24, Lodgify & iCal
  • Works on any phone
  • One park or many

The problem

A full park is a lot of moving parts.

When almost every lodge turns over on the same day, the work doesn’t fail because people aren’t trying. It fails because the information is in six different places.

Bookings live in one system, the work in another

Someone copies departures into a cleaning sheet every morning – and a late change means a lodge isn’t ready for its guests.

Jobs get lost in group chats

A broken hot tub lid, a dripping tap, “gas is low in lodge 4” – buried in WhatsApp between photos and shift swaps.

Paper hot tub logs and certificates

Water tests on clipboards, gas safety and EICR dates in someone’s head – until an inspector or a guest asks.

Rotas, hours and pay on spreadsheets

Who’s on tomorrow? Who clocked in late? Payroll means chasing timesheets and adding them up by hand.

Receipts in a shoebox

Staff buy parts and fuel, the receipts fade in a van, and month-end is an evening of typing them into the accounts.

No clear view of costs

You know the park is busy – but not what each lodge really costs in cleaning, gas, labour and repairs.

ParksControl puts all of it in one place, driven by your bookings – so everyone knows exactly what to do today, and you can see how the whole park is running from your phone.

Features

Everything a busy park runs on – in one app.

Built feature by feature around real changeover days. Every screenshot below is the real app, shown with demo data.

Bookings sync

Your bookings flow in automatically – from the system you already use.

Each park sets up its own booking connections. ParksControl keeps syncing on a schedule and keeps a history of every run.

  • CampManager via iCal feeds, CSV export or an assisted export
  • Beds24 and Lodgify connections
  • Any iCal feed – Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more
  • A scheduled email report or a CSV/Excel upload for everything else
  • A mapping wizard matches your units to lodges, and real bookings always win over calendar blocks

Cleaning schedule

The cleaning schedule builds itself from your bookings.

  • Every departure becomes a clean; same-day changeovers are flagged first
  • Shows the extras to put in for the next guests – dog packs, cots, hampers, celebration packages
  • Early arrivals and late departures change the clean window automatically
  • Cleaners tap Start and Finish on their phone, report issues with a photo, and record a walkthrough video
  • Guest-ready sign-off – or send it back for a re-clean

Maintenance & hot tubs

Nothing gets lost between “I noticed” and “it’s fixed”.

  • Maintenance board – priorities, assignees, due dates, photos and a full history for every job
  • Issues reported during a clean become jobs and alert the right people
  • Hot tub logs on a twice-daily cycle, with readings flagged out of range and the fix to apply
  • Required photo, automatic staff and time stamp, printable QR codes per tub and CSV export

LPG gas bottles

Know where every gas bottle is – and never run a lodge dry.

  • Bottle setup per lodge – size, supplier, auto-changeover valve
  • Staff log a bottle change in two taps; anyone can report “gas low”
  • Site store stock, deliveries and empties, with a low-stock alert
  • Usage report per lodge – kg per occupied night, cost, and unusual usage flagged

Receipts & mileage

Snap a receipt. ParksControl reads it.

  • Photograph a receipt and OCR fills in the merchant, date, total and VAT
  • Mileage claims at HMRC approved rates
  • Approve, reject and mark reimbursed – with duplicate detection
  • Export for Xero or QuickBooks, plus a ZIP of receipt images and a PDF summary for your accountant

  • Monthly expenditure by category, with month-on-month change
  • Cost per lodge and per occupied night – cleaning labour, gas and repairs included
  • Labour hours and cost, cleaning times, maintenance time-to-fix, hot tub compliance and occupancy
  • Filter by date and park, then export to CSV or print to PDF

Your team

Staff, rota, clock-in and payroll – done.

  • Rota builder – a week at a glance, copy last week, approved leave shown automatically
  • Clock in and out on a phone, checked against your park’s location
  • Timesheets with hours and gross pay, and a payroll export
  • Holiday and leave requests with allowances tracked
  • Five permission levels, enforced on the server:

And the rest of the day-to-day.

Team chat

Group channels and direct messages with unread badges – work conversations out of personal WhatsApp.

Document vault

Gas safety, EICR, PAT, fire risk assessment, insurance, licences – per lodge or site-wide, with expiry reminders.

Multi-park

Run several parks from one login. Each park has its own lodges, branding, location and booking connections.

Installable phone app

Add ParksControl to the home screen on iPhone or Android. Quick PIN login for shared devices.

Calendar

Every lodge on one timeline – stays, party size, dogs, extras and clean status at a glance.

Stock, COSHH & audit log

Linen and consumables, lost property, COSHH register, meter readings – and a full audit log of who did what.

How it works

From booking to guest-ready, without the admin.

  1. Connect your bookings

    Link CampManager, Beds24, Lodgify, iCal, an email report or a file upload for each park, and match your units to lodges.

  2. Add your team

    Invite staff, give each person the right permission level, and build the rota.

  3. The day plans itself

    Departures become cleans, extras appear on the right lodge, hot tub tests and gas checks fall due – everyone sees their jobs on their phone.

  4. You see everything

    Progress, issues, hours, receipts and costs flow into reports – across one park or all of them.

Built by park operators, for park operators

Made on a working park – not in a boardroom.

ParksControl was built by a UK holiday park owner who runs lodge parks every day. Every feature started as a real problem on a real changeover day – a lodge not ready in time, a hot tub log gone missing, a gas bottle that ran out mid-stay.

It’s the tool we wanted for our own parks, so it’s designed for the people doing the work: cleaners on their phones, maintenance on the move, and owners who want the full picture.

Made for holiday parks. Lodges, changeovers, hot tubs, LPG and dog packs – not adapted from hotel or office software.

Phone-first. Big buttons, quick actions and PIN login, so staff actually use it.

Your data, protected. Encrypted connections, booking-system passwords encrypted at rest, nightly backups and permissions checked on the server.

Pricing

Every park is different – number of units, parks, staff and booking systems. We’ll show you ParksControl on a call and put together pricing that fits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which booking systems does ParksControl work with?

CampManager (through its iCal feeds, CSV export or an assisted export), Beds24, Lodgify, any iCal calendar feed (for example Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo), a scheduled email report, or a CSV/Excel upload. If you use something else, tell us on the demo form.

Does it replace my booking system?

No. Keep taking bookings and payments the way you do now – ParksControl reads your bookings and turns them into the operational work: cleans, extras, hot tub tests, staffing and costs.

Do my staff need to download anything?

No app store needed. ParksControl runs in the phone’s browser and can be added to the home screen on iPhone and Android, where it works like an app. Shared devices can use a quick PIN login.

Can I run more than one park?

Yes. Owners can switch between parks, see reports across all of them, and give each member of staff access to just the parks they work on.

Who can see what?

There are five permission levels – Owner, Manager, Supervisor, Staff and Read-only – and the owner can fine-tune what each level can see and change. For example, you decide who can see pay rates and wages, and who can approve spending.

Can my accountant use it?

Yes – give them a Read-only login. Receipts and expenses export for Xero or QuickBooks, with a ZIP of receipt images and a PDF summary.

How is our data kept safe?

Everything is served over HTTPS, passwords are hashed, booking-system credentials are encrypted at rest, the database is backed up every night, and every page and action checks permissions on the server. Sensitive actions are recorded in an audit log.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to your park – book a demo and we’ll talk it through.
