Campgrounds and Glamping
Campground and glamping software for domes, micro-cabins and campsites
Your guest picks a dome on your website, sees which dates are open, pays the weekend rate and gets a confirmation. Meanwhile, you were out on the river. That's how two people at Méandre run seven lodging units, activities and an online shop.
The sector’s challenge
It's 8 p.m. You're back from the river with the last group of the day. You still have to answer emails, confirm Saturday's dome booking, check that a campsite is still open and send an invoice. Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
The case study
- 2employees run the whole site
- 7lodging units: domes, shelters and campsites
The context
Méandre offers domes, micro-cabins and camping in La Tuque, in Quebec's Haute-Mauricie region. With only two employees for seven lodging units, activities, an online shop and a fast-growing site, the team needed to bring everything together in one place.
Before Endorphine
Bookings, seasonal rates, sales channels and invoicing meant a lot of repetitive tasks. With a team of two, every data entry error cost time.
The solution
Méandre chose Endorphine because it's easy to use and flexible. Domes, shelters and campsites are now managed in one place, with different rates for weekdays, weekends and each season. Reports and invoices come out quickly thanks to the Square integration.
The results
Automated processes have reduced errors and the team has won back time to welcome guests. The tool fit into the team's routine without a hitch, even in peak season. For guests, booking is smooth from the first website visit to the confirmation.

In their words
“"Endorphine lets us stay small... but act like the big players."”
A dome doesn't rent like a campsite
A dome has its own capacity and dates. So does the shelter. A campsite rents by the night, sometimes at the last minute. Méandre now manages its domes, shelters and campsites in Endorphine, all in one place. On your website, guests see what's available in real time. Once a night is sold, it's gone from the calendar: no double bookings to sort out over the phone. That's what campground management software should do for a small team.
Weekday rates, weekend rates and July rates
A Tuesday in May doesn't sell at the price of a Saturday in August. In Endorphine, Méandre sets different rates for weekdays, weekends and each season. Guests pay the right price without anyone having to work it out. To fill quieter nights, the team also creates promo codes and seasonal discounts with ease.
The dome, the activity and the rest in one order
A family booking two nights often wants something to do on site. With Endorphine, they book their stay and their activities at the same time, on the same platform. You can also build packages that combine a night and an activity. For your merchandise, Endorphine has a shop module that sells online and at the front desk.
A campground POS that does the invoicing while you're outside
At the end of the season, nobody wants to spend their evenings piecing sales back together. At Méandre, reports and invoices come out quickly thanks to the Square integration. Endorphine's point of sale works with Square, Stripe or Nuvei. How many nights did you sell in July? Which unit brings in the most? The dashboard answers on your phone.
A tool you can learn in peak season
Switching software in July is scary when there are only two of you. At Méandre, the interface fit into the team's routine without a hitch, even in peak season. The business also looks more professional, online and on site. What's next? Méandre wants to go further with Endorphine: a more advanced online shop and rates that adjust automatically to seasons and key periods. Got a question in the middle of the season? Endorphine's support team, based in Quebec City, usually responds within two hours.
