Revenue model
- SaaS Subscription for Property Management and Reservation Systems: Hercules is provided as a true Software-as-a-Service solution with a subscription model. Parks pay for access to the front office property management system and online booking engine. The platform is hosted centrally with all upgrades, support, security, and data backup included in the subscription. Multi-property operators can manage all operations through a single sign-on dashboard.
- Marketing Network and Directory Services: The company operates a portfolio of consumer-facing brands including Camping.com, Campgrounds.com, RVParks.com, and GuestReviews.com. These platforms generate traffic for campground operators who list and accept reservations through the network. Revenue derives from operator participation in the marketing network and directory listings, with content syndicated across multiple portals to maximize exposure.
- Online Booking Transaction Processing: The Hercules booking engine processes reservations for over 1,000 campground websites and distributes inventory across multiple portals. Transaction fees or booking commissions may apply to reservations processed through the online engine. The system handles real-time credit card processing and transaction settlements integrated with the reservation flow.
- Two-Way PMS Integration Services: Revenue is generated through partnerships with third-party PMS providers like Campground Master, enabling two-way synchronization between their local software and Leisure's online booking engine. Integration fees may apply to campgrounds seeking to connect existing property management systems to the online reservation network without fully migrating to Hercules.
- GuestReviews.com and GuestRated.com Survey Platform: Friend Communications (the predecessor company, now part of Leisure Interactive) provides survey technology infrastructure for GuestReviews.com and GuestRated.com. These guest satisfaction and rating platforms are launched in cooperation with ARVC and Bob MacKinnon, collecting standardized guest feedback and providing ratings to campground operators.

Leisure Interactive partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.
- Campground MastercoreLeisure Interactive and Campground Master have created a two-way interface where the local property management system links to Leisure's online reservation system and the two systems synchronize on a regular basis. The integration passes order data, site numbers, and consumer information to Campground Master to prevent re-keying, while Campground Master sends recent locally-booked reservations back to update online availability. This solves the double booking problem that occurs when parks try to manage online bookings manually. This is described as the industry's first 2-way integration between locally installed PMS and online booking engine.
- RVSales.comminorRVSales.com is referenced as a sister company within the Leisure Interactive portfolio. The Camping.com platform features an RV Stuff section with classifieds powered by RVSales.com, creating cross-promotional traffic between the camping lifestyle portal and RV sales marketplace.
- National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC)coreBob MacKinnon, in cooperation with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), launched GuestReviews.com and GuestRated.com platforms. Friend Communications (now part of Leisure Interactive) provides the survey technology infrastructure for these platforms. The partnership aims to bring standardized guest satisfaction surveys and ratings to the campground industry, addressing the chaotic and unstructured nature of existing review websites.
- GuestReviews.com and GuestRated.comcoreGuestReviews.com and GuestRated.com were launched by Bob MacKinnon in cooperation with ARVC, with Friend Communications/Leisure Interactive providing the underlying survey technology infrastructure. These platforms merge guest satisfaction surveys with consumer ratings, collecting standardized feedback from campground guests and delivering aggregated ratings to help bring order to the fragmented review environment in the outdoor hospitality industry.

Leisure Interactive competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Campspot: Campspot operates a SaaS-enabled online marketplace for booking private campgrounds and RV parks, directly overlapping with Leisure Interactive's Hercules booking engine and Camping.com/Campgrounds.com consumer portals for the same North American outdoor hospitality customer base.
- Hipcamp: Hipcamp is an online marketplace and software platform connecting campers with private campgrounds, RV sites, and glamping properties across North America. It directly competes with Leisure Interactive's consumer portals and reservation technology for both operators and campers.
- The Dyrt: The Dyrt is a campground discovery and booking platform with a large consumer audience and an integrated reservation engine. It competes for the same campground operator customers as Hercules and serves the same camper/RVer consumer traffic as Camping.com and Campgrounds.com.
- Reservation Management Solutions (RMS): RMS provides cloud-based property management and reservation software for the outdoor hospitality industry including campgrounds, RV parks, and marinas—directly comparable to the Hercules platform in functionality and target customer.
- Campground Master: Campground Master is a locally installed property management system for campgrounds and RV parks. It is both a competitor and integration partner—the only documented two-way integration partner with Leisure Interactive's Hercules booking engine.
Broad incumbents
- SiteMinder: SiteMinder is a hotel-centric distribution and revenue platform that provides booking engines, channel managers, and PMS for accommodation providers. As a broad hospitality incumbent, it represents competitive pressure and a potential expansion vector into outdoor hospitality.

- Cloudbeds: Cloudbeds is a leading hospitality SaaS platform providing PMS, booking engine, and channel management for hotels, hostels, and alternative accommodations. It represents a broader hospitality tech incumbent that could expand downmarket into campgrounds/RV parks.
- eviivo: eviivo is a hospitality SaaS provider offering PMS, booking engine, and channel management primarily to small and mid-sized accommodations. As a horizontal incumbent it competes for similar SMB accommodation customers including campgrounds and B&Bs.
Regional players
- ReserveAmerica: ReserveAmerica operates government park reservation systems primarily for state and federal campgrounds across North America. While focused on public-sector parks rather than private campgrounds, it serves the same end consumer and influences online booking expectations for the broader outdoor hospitality market.
