Who should apply (and where listings are available)

Campsites are selected based on:

• High ANWB and ACSI ratings
• Outstanding facilities and location
• Consistently positive guest reviews

This curated approach ensures travellers find quality sites, while owners benefit from an audience primed for direct booking.

Note: Although the blog features inspiration about Italy and Croatia, current campsite listings cover only France, Spain, and Portugal.

The path from inquiry to go-live

1) Make your inquiry

• Contact the team via the Contact page or email info@iccs-europe.com.
• Briefly introduce your campsite, location, accommodation types, standout facilities, and target audiences (e.g., families, couples, surfers, dog owners).

2) Editorial review

• The team reviews each request and responds with next steps and available collaboration options.
• There is no formal on-site inspection process; listings are thoroughly reviewed and regularly updated using multiple reliable sources. There is no proprietary rating system—the focus is on curated details that matter to travellers.

3) Choose your visibility package

Campsites can select from three paid promotional packages designed to match marketing objectives:

• Basic Pack: essential visibility with standard listing information.
• Standard Pack: enhanced presence with additional content and improved positioning.

4) Provide your content

To accelerate approval and help your page perform, supply accurate, up-to-date materials. See the checklist below for what to prepare.

5) Listing build and launch

• Your dedicated page highlights location and feature icons (e.g., Beach, Family, Dog-friendly, Glamping, Mountain/River, Wellness, Open all year).
• An “Ontdek” (Discover) link sends users directly to your official booking page. The platform does not charge booking or referral fees, and all reservations are completed on your website.

• Live prices and availability: Not shown on the platform; travellers view them on your site.
• Policies: Cancellation and modification terms are set by your campsite and apply on your platform.
• Search and discovery: A home-page search bar helps travellers jump straight to campsites or regions.

• Feature icons: Key facilities and settings are surfaced through recognizable icons that make comparison fast and intuitive.
• Seasonal dates: Opening/closing dates are generally displayed; since they originate from campgrounds, keep them accurate on your website as well.
• Health & safety: Where available, pages include on-site medical services and proximity to emergency facilities.
• Shareability: Each listing provides a Share option so travellers can forward it to friends and family.
