Pitch types
Pitch types are the categories you sell in — for example “Standard meadow”, “Comfort with electricity”, or “XXL motorhome”. Each individual pitch on your map belongs to exactly one type. The type drives price, minimum stay, online visibility, and which pitches may be offered as alternatives.
Predefined types
Section titled “Predefined types”During onboarding we agree on a base set, typically:
| Type | Features | Target guest |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Grass, no electricity, standard size | Tent, small car with rooftop tent |
| Comfort | Hard or grass, 16 A electricity, water nearby | Caravan, mid-size motorhome |
| XXL | Hard, 16 A electricity, dedicated water tap, 100 m²+ | Large motorhomes, awning |
| Premium | Hard, electricity + water + grey-water, prime location | Frequent travellers, regulars |
| Rental unit | Bungalow, lodge, mobile home | Guests without their own equipment |
You can rename types, add new ones, or hide unused ones at any time. Existing bookings keep their type.
Creating custom types
Section titled “Creating custom types”Under Settings → Pitch types → New type you set:
- Name (public, multilingual)
- Short description for the online widget
- Photos (ideally 3–5 images, landscape)
- Standard size in m²
- Features (see below)
- Standard price and seasonal prices
- Minimum stay and maximum party size
- Online visibility (sold via widget, front desk only, or blocked)
Once saved, you assign the type to individual pitches on the map — either by clicking a pitch, or by using a lasso for bulk assignment.
Features
Section titled “Features”Features are the technical attributes a guest can filter on in the widget:
- Electricity: none, 6 A, 10 A, 16 A
- Water: none, nearby, on pitch
- Grey water: none, on pitch
- Surface: grass, gravel, asphalt
- Shade: none, partial, full
- Wi-Fi strength: weak, medium, strong
- Dog allowed: yes/no
- Accessible: yes/no
For special cases you can add free-form features (e.g. “Lake view” or “Pet fence”). They appear as widget filters if you enable them.
Assigning to individual pitches
Section titled “Assigning to individual pitches”On the Pitch map, click a single pitch and pick the type from the dropdown. If a single pitch deviates from its type’s standard size, override the values directly on the pitch — the map shows a small badge to flag the deviation.
For bulk assignment, select several pitches (lasso or Ctrl + click), open the context menu, and assign the type to all at once.
Inheritance and override
Section titled “Inheritance and override”| Value | Source |
|---|---|
| Price | Type → can be overridden per pitch |
| Minimum stay | Type |
| Features | Type → editable per pitch |
| Photos | Type → optionally extended per pitch |
| Online visibility | Type → can be locked per pitch |
A value overridden on a pitch is not changed if you later change the type-level value. You can revert it with “Reset to type default”.
- Keep the number of types small. Three to five types are enough in almost all cases. Too many leads to choice fatigue in the widget.
- Group by need, not by location. Location preferences (lake, forest, sector) belong to the map and the site plan. The type describes the product.
- Photos per type matter more than per pitch. Guests compare types, not individual pitches.
