Question 1

How does Nomady work?

Accepted Answer

With us, hosts share their most beautiful nature spots and accommodations with travelers. We create a connection and promote sustainable and local tourism that benefits everyone.

Our mission is to bring hosts and campers together as easily as possible. To ensure this, we are constantly working to improve the quality and functionality of the website. The entire booking and payment process is handled by Nomady. In addition, we handle marketing, media relations, build partnerships, and of course, we are your point of contact for any problems or questions.

We dream of a platform for all of Europe where hosts can present their nature-oriented offers to travelers.

Question 2

What is Park Overnight?

Accepted Answer

Park Overnight stands for spontaneous & safe travel. With Park Overnight, businesses can list their parking areas as motorhome or camper pitches via the Nomady platform. Thanks to a practical and visually striking sign, travelers can book their overnight stay on-site via QR code or digitally via the app & website without any administrative effort on the part of the business.

All information about Park Overnight can be found here: nomady.camp/park-overnight

Question 3

Nomady App

Accepted Answer

Our free app is ideal for mobile use. Respond flexibly to inquiries and chat messages. You can find the app in your app store under “Nomady.camp” or you can use the following links:
Apple: here
Android: here

Question 4

Who can become a host?

Accepted Answer

Nomady allows you as a private individual or as a business to rent out your offer in nature. Associations, cooperatives, or municipalities are also very welcome. In principle, all landowners who enjoy hosting visitors are welcome.

Question 5

What kind of offers can I rent out on Nomady?

Accepted Answer

At Nomady, we distinguish between two main categories of offers: «Camping» and «Accommodations». In the «Camping» category, you will find idyllic spots in nature for a tent, camper, or motorhome. There is also the “Park Overnight” category. This is aimed at existing surfaces that are less close to nature but intended for a safe and legal overnight stay for one night. In the «Accommodation» category, we offer cabins, glamping, and shelters, such as alpine huts, tiny houses, converted trailers, or yurts. If you have an idyllic nature spot or a beautiful accommodation, you can create a profile for free and set up as many offers as you like.

Question 6

Where should such a camp be located?

Accepted Answer

Nomady stands for camping in nature, away from the crowds. Your nature spot or accommodation should be located in a beautiful, natural environment and offer space for relaxation (except for Park Overnight). We envision a great view, an idyllic location, or proximity to a body of water (stream, river, or lake). The surrounding area offers opportunities for nature-based activities such as hiking, wildlife watching, biking, fishing, mushroom picking, etc. Not all criteria can always be met, and that's perfectly fine. After all, we are interested in a wide spectrum of sleeping options in nature.

Question 7

What infrastructure does the camp need?

Accepted Answer

As a host, the equipment of your camp is up to you. It is important that the camper can clearly see in your offer what equipment to expect.
A dream Nomady spot has a fire pit, a table and bench for outdoor dining and, if possible, firewood. A toilet and drinking water right next to the camp or within walking distance are also sensible.

Question 8

Are there any requirements for me?

Accepted Answer

We try to keep your effort as low as possible: You manage your bookings and your calendar, act as the contact person for your guests, and maintain your camp both on-site and on our platform. Ideally, you should check your bookings daily. Our app can help you stay up to date at all times. 
You decide for yourself how intensive the personal support for your guests on-site should be. Over time, you will notice who needs how much attention anyway.

As a host, you also become part of our community. In doing so, you commit to our Nomady-Pakt. Its intention is to treat nature and people with respect and mindfulness. We see ourselves as a team that creates a wonderful offer through an appreciative division of labor.

Question 9

How does Nomady ensure quality?

Accepted Answer

We review all listings before they become visible online. We aim to offer high quality on Nomady and therefore reserve the right to reject an offer, request improvements, or even delete it if the quality is insufficient. Naturally, we communicate this and are always open to discussion.

Question 10

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Creating a Nomady listing is free. It doesn't cost you anything! 
Nomady only earns money when the listing is booked. Depending on the booking amount, service fees between 10% and 15% are due. For bookings up to 125 EUR/CHF, the fee is 15%. After that, the fee rate decreases in two steps and reaches 10% for amounts of 250 EUR/CHF.

Booking amount/Service fee:
up to 125.00 CHF/EUR = 15%
up to 250.00 CHF/EUR = 12.5%
from 250.00 CHF/EUR = 10%

Question 11

Are there any additional costs?

Accepted Answer

The service fee of 10-15% covers all costs. This includes credit card fees of 2-4%. Therefore, all costs within the booking are covered and you do not have to make any additional payments to Nomady.

Question 12

What do I need to invest?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on what your natural pitch or hut already offers. Our experience has shown that a few initial investments, such as a fire pit, a table with a bench, or a compost toilet, are well worth it. This increases the attractiveness of your offer as well as the campers' willingness to pay. It's worth it. We are happy to advise you on this. We recommend that you signpost the way to the camp and the camp itself on-site. This makes your guest feel welcome and gives them a good first impression of your camp. As a host, we offer you high-quality metal signs. You can purchase these signs from us at cost price. Here you can find more information.

Question 13

How much money can I earn?

Accepted Answer

In addition to many other benefits, as a host you can build up an interesting income. Earnings vary greatly depending on the offer and region. For example, you can generate a small side income of up to 2,000 CHF/EUR per month. The earnings from your guests will be transferred to your clearing account after the stay is completed.

Question 14

Who defines the price of my offer?

Accepted Answer

You define the price yourself. You enter it manually in your listing and can adjust it at any time. You have the option to set individual prices for different age groups, add prices for additional services, and, if necessary, collect the tourist tax. All of this is illustrated for you in an example under the 'Prices' section when creating your listing.

Question 15

Can I define seasonal prices?

Accepted Answer

If you have activated the "Winter option", you can define different prices at the very bottom under "Winter prices".

The winter prices apply to the period defined in the winter option.

Depending on the period selected by the guest, either the summer or the winter price will be displayed and calculated.

If the winter option has no date or is deactivated, the prices defined under "Price per night" always apply.

Further price variations will be addressed and reconsidered in autumn and winter 2026. Please feel free to let us know what is important to you regarding pricing.

Question 16

How high should the price for my offer be?

Accepted Answer

It is best to look at the offers of other hosts and compare them. This will give you an initial idea. Then, set a price and observe the booking behavior of the campers. Demand will clearly show you whether the price is too high or too low. You can adjust the price for future bookings at any time. When reviewing your offer, we will also take a look at the price and provide you with advice.

With small investments in equipment and good visual material, you can increase the attractiveness and the willingness of your guests to pay, and thus charge slightly higher prices.

As a final tip, it is recommended to secure the first positive bookings at the beginning with a very attractive price. As described, the price can be adjusted at any time with just a few clicks.

Question 17

Do I have to pay tourist taxes?

Accepted Answer

Whether you have to pay tourist taxes and how high they are is regulated individually by each municipality. Not every municipality levies such taxes for tourism promotion. They are mainly found in tourist areas.

Please inform yourself about this at your municipality or the local tourism organization. The tourist taxes will be paid out to you with your earnings. Add the applicable amounts in the designated area under price per person.

You are responsible for the reporting obligation yourself.

Question 18

Can I charge a cleaning fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you offer a listing in the “Accommodation” category. You have the option to set a one-time cleaning fee.

Question 19

Can I charge electricity costs directly within the booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under "Amenities" you can choose from various billing methods to charge for additional electricity costs.

Question 20

Can I include the firewood directly in the booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under "Amenities" you can choose from various billing methods for the firewood you provide.

Question 21

How does the payment process work?

Accepted Answer

We handle the entire payment process. This is secured by Stripe, and successful bookings are paid out directly to the IBAN you provided.

As a host, you provide your bank details once. The amount, minus the Nomady service fees, will be transferred to your account either 2 days after the guest's camping stay or as bundled monthly earnings on the 3rd of the following month.

You can update your bank details in your profile at any time.

Question 22

What does Nomady do with the proceeds from the service fee?

Accepted Answer

When a booking is made, Nomady charges both the host and the camper a service fee. This contributes to our survival as a company and allows us to continue connecting you as a host with campers. We primarily invest these fees in the following areas:

Community Support: Your concerns are our concerns. We want to support you whenever needed. We offer the same service to campers, maintaining a high level of personal support. You can contact us at any time!

Marketing: We know how important it is for you as a host to receive enough bookings. With significant investments in guest marketing, we support you in achieving your goals. Among other things, we maintain our social media channels, produce content for our blog, and book advertising space.

Product Development: To ensure our platform runs smoothly, developers, designers, and product managers work behind the scenes. We continue to develop the website, introduce new features, and fix issues. The user-friendliness of the website is a key factor in the success of our platform and your listing.

Cooperations: As always in life, we are stronger together. In this spirit, we use resources for purposeful cooperation with various partners in the industry. This attracts both new travelers and new hosts.

Question 23

Why am I being asked to verify my identity?

Accepted Answer

Nomady works with the payment provider Stripe. For security reasons, Stripe must verify your identity for payment transactions. Every host and camper must go through the identification process once. This data is stored.

In this PDF, you will find plenty of information, context, and answers to questions about Stripe to give you a good overview. Take a look, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Download here.

Question 24

Can I get insurance?

Accepted Answer

Nomady does not offer its own insurance. All insurance matters are therefore the sole responsibility of the users. Nomady recommends that all users (hosts and campers) ensure they have comprehensive insurance coverage. We are currently working on a suitable Nomady insurance solution. As soon as it is ready, we will communicate this.

Question 25

How do I receive reports regarding my listings?

Accepted Answer

You can easily download reports yourself directly from your account.

You can export the following:

* Payout reports (PDF) - Overview of the earnings paid out to you

* Tourist tax reports (PDF/CSV) - Overview of the tourist taxes to be paid

* Extended guest data (CSV) - Guest data for guest registration (only displayed if recorded - more details here)

All documents can be exported for a specific month or year.

Other documents that might be important for you:

* You will receive a booking confirmation with all details via email after the booking/acceptance.

* You can export the payout receipt for a booking under "Host Menu" > "Guest Bookings" > "Past Stays" > "Open Details" of the respective booking > by clicking "Download Receipt".

* We can create an invoice for the host service fee upon request. Please contact hello@nomady.camp with the desired period.

If you require different information or time periods, please contact hello@nomady.camp with the details; we are happy to help.

Question 26

Is it actually legally permitted to rent out a camp?

Accepted Answer

The legal situation in Europe regarding camping on private land varies from country to country, region to region, and even from municipality to municipality.

As a host, you are always responsible for complying with the legal framework of your municipality. Camping on private land is still in its infancy. It is therefore possible that you will not find clear regulations in your country, region, or municipality.

In practice, we often find that municipalities are very positive towards Nomady. Especially when no construction measures are necessary and you, as the host, take care of peace and order, nothing stands in the way of a Nomady offer in most cases. We are happy to support you with any questions. Just write to us at hello@nomady.camp and we will be happy to call you to discuss the first steps.

Question 27

Can I edit the calendar myself and block dates?

Accepted Answer

In your host menu, you will find the item “Your Calendar”. In the calendar overview, you can see on which days travelers have booked your overnight spots. You can also edit the availability of your spots and, for example, block a period for new bookings or set a different number of pitches by dragging across several days or clicking on individual days. Above the calendar on the left, you can switch between your camps or select all. At the top right, you have the option to create an iCal link. This allows you to export Nomady entries into a calendar of your choice.

Integrating other availability calendars into Nomady is not possible.

Question 28

How does the booking process work?

Accepted Answer

The camper books your offer on Nomady.camp or in the app. Depending on the booking option, they can book directly or only after your approval. Nomady distinguishes between a «Booking Request» and «Instant Booking». We will tell you more about these booking options in a moment.

To keep your effort to a minimum and protect your privacy, the camper cannot contact you before booking.

Only with a booking request do they get the opportunity to write to you via our platform. Likewise, with the booking confirmation, they receive access to further private information. This includes the exact location of the camp, your phone number, as well as instructions for directions, key handover, or arrival time.

Question 29

What does the booking option «Booking request» mean?

Accepted Answer

"Booking request" means that during the booking process, the camper first sends a booking request to you. As a host, you can then decide whether you want to accept or decline the booking. It is your right to decline booking requests. In such cases, please write to the camper to explain why you declined their request.

If you opt for booking requests, you should ensure that very little time passes between the request and your response (acceptance or refusal). Naturally, the camper wants to know as soon as possible if they can camp at your place. You have only 48 hours to react to the request.

Please note that many travelers travel spontaneously and therefore select the "Instant booking" filter. If you want more bookings, you should work with instant booking.

Question 30

What does the «Instant Booking» option mean?

Accepted Answer

With an "Instant Booking," a camper can book your offer immediately, provided the desired date is available in the calendar. A manual confirmation from you is not necessary, nor is it possible. The booking is final. A cancellation is only possible through the standard cancellation process.

The "Instant Booking" option is very popular with campers as it allows them to book their adventure spontaneously. For you as a host, however, this means that guests can also arrive at very short notice. Your camp should therefore be ready.

Question 31

What information do my guests receive about my camp after booking?

Accepted Answer

After a booking or once a booking request has been accepted, the guest automatically receives the following data that you provided in your listing:

* Booking confirmation via email as a PDF attachment, containing this information:

* Period

* Check-in & out times

* Booking details

* Address

* Phone number

* Price

* Cancellation policy

* Directions

* Post-booking information

* In addition, your guests have a booking overview in their Nomady profile with the following information:

* Period

* Check-in & out times

* Phone number

* Address

* Map with set pins

* Directions

* Post-booking information

* Booking details and the option to download the booking confirmation again

* Chat

* Price

* Cancellation policy

* Cancellation button

* They also automatically receive the following in the chat upon booking or acceptance of the request:

* Address

* Check-in & out times

* Directions

* Post-booking information

* House rules

If you receive feedback that your guests do not have enough information upon arrival, especially for self check-in, please update these specific fields.

Question 32

I'm receiving too many messages and questions! How can I stop this?

Accepted Answer

The better and more complete your listing description is, the fewer questions you will receive as a host. You should collect recurring questions about your offer and include them in the listing description or in the private information for the camper, which is only shared after a successful booking.

Question 33

How can I communicate with my guests?

Accepted Answer

As soon as a booking request or an instant booking has been made, a chat opens between you and the guest, which you can use to communicate with him or her.

You can find the chat under "Your Nomady" > "Chat", where all chats are listed on the left. Via "Host menu" > "Bookings from guests" > "Open details", you will also find the chat with the respective guest next to all booking details.

If you have activated the option for the guest to see your phone number and the guest has provided a phone number, these will be displayed in the booking details.

We recommend that you handle communication with the guest via the chat for traceability purposes.

Question 34

Can I communicate with my guests before a booking?

Accepted Answer

You can give guests the option to send questions via chat before booking. You can activate this via "Your Nomady" > "Your personal data" > check the box "I would like to receive messages from people who have questions about my place but have not yet booked or requested.".

If you regularly receive the same questions, feel free to add this information to your listing or adjust the details to make it clearer for the guest.

We recommend always using the chat for communication with the guest; this way, conversations remain traceable and your personal data is protected.

Note: Chat messages before booking are audited by Nomady.

Question 35

I can't manage the chat, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

An "automatic reply" feature is available for Park Overnight hosts.

This can be activated under "Your Nomady" > "Your personal data" > "Notifications" > click the slider next to "Automatic reply".  
This will open a text field; please insert the content of your message here and don't forget to click "Save" afterwards. This should include an alternative contact option, e.g., a phone number including the opening hours of the tourism office or an emergency contact. Always make sure to offer an alternative.

If you offer multiple Park Overnight pitches, the message will be sent for all of them. If you also have a Nomady pitch, the automatic reply will NOT be sent for that one.

The automatic reply is sent to the guest immediately as a response to their message. It looks like a regular chat message. The message is only sent once within a 24-hour period. If the guest sends multiple messages, the automatic reply is only sent once during that time to avoid spam. If you reply yourself in the chat, the automatic reply will also be suppressed for the next 24 hours.

Since Nomady Camps involve a more personal exchange between guest and host, an automatic reply is not possible there. We ask you to manage the chat as best as possible, for example by using the Nomady app. Since this is not always easy to implement at certain times, especially for agricultural businesses, this can be added as information under "Info for travelers" > "Information after booking".

Question 36

How do I manage my bookings?

Accepted Answer

In the header of the page under the Host menu, you will find the item “Guest bookings”. There you will find all future and past bookings. A chat history is opened for each booking. With the available filter functions, you can sort the bookings by recency and status. This ensures a better overview.

Under the item “Your calendar”, you will also find an overview of all booking days and have the option to manage your availability. You can also sync this calendar with a calendar of your choice (via iCal link).

Question 37

How does the guest arrival process work?

Accepted Answer

In your listing profile, under «Rules», you determine how your guests' arrival should take place. You can choose between the two options «With greeting» or «Self check-in»:

With «With greeting», the host hands over the camp in person. With this option, you should define a handover time with your campers after the booking. You can either write your preferred arrival time directly in the private information for the camper, under «Location|Contact», or ask the camper for their preferences.

With «Self check-in», a personal greeting does not necessarily take place. You allow your guest to drive directly to the camp. It is important with this option that the guest knows exactly where they can camp and where to find everything else, thanks to your booking details and the signage on site.

Question 38

What cancellation options are available?

Accepted Answer

There are six cancellation options

Super Flex: Campers have the option to cancel up until the check-in time on the arrival date and will receive a refund of the total booking amount minus the service fee. The check-in time on the arrival date is decisive for calculating the deadline.

Flex: Campers have the option to cancel up to 24 hours before arrival and will receive a refund of the total booking amount minus the service fee. The check-in time on the arrival date is decisive for calculating the deadline (minus 24 hours).

Easy: Campers have the option to cancel up to 3 days before arrival and will receive a refund of the total booking amount minus the service fee. The check-in time on the arrival date is decisive for calculating the deadline (minus three calendar days).

Mittel: Campers have the option to cancel up to 10 days before arrival and will receive a refund of the total booking amount minus the service fee. The check-in time on the arrival date is decisive for calculating the deadline (minus ten calendar days).

Streng: Campers have the option to cancel up to 30 days before arrival and will receive a refund of the total booking amount minus the service fee. The check-in time on the arrival date is decisive for calculating the deadline (minus thirty calendar days).

Keine: Campers have no option to cancel. The total booking amount including the service fee will be charged, even if the camp is not used during the booked period. A refund is excluded.

Question 39

What happens if a camper cancels?

Accepted Answer

In this case, you will receive a message in the «Bookings» section. The date will be automatically released so that other campers can book. Your choice of cancellation policy determines the conditions under which the camper can cancel.

Question 40

Can I cancel a confirmed booking as a host?

Accepted Answer

This feature is not yet available. In such cases, please contact our customer service.

Question 41

I don't want to offer my camp in winter. How do I do that?

Accepted Answer

You can simply block the dates in the calendar when your listing cannot be booked. We do not recommend closing the listing (by clicking on the three dots for the respective listing under «your listings»). Doing so would also prevent bookings for the upcoming spring and summer.

Question 42

Who can leave a review?

Accepted Answer

At Nomady, both campers and hosts can leave reviews. Good reviews help you market your offer more effectively. Likewise, you can use reviews of campers to get an idea of your potential guest. Your feedback helps both the campers and future hosts.

Question 43

How can I leave a review?

Accepted Answer

Submitting a review is voluntary and does not happen automatically.
 
The process works as follows: After the stay, both parties are asked to write a review. During the first week after the stay, you can only see the other person's review if you have also written one yourself. After one week, both mutual and one-sided reviews are made public.

Question 44

I received a review that I don't think is correct. Can I delete it?

Accepted Answer

The review function is very helpful for providing a transparent picture of the camper, host, and camp. We rely on respectful and truthful interactions in accordance with our Nomady-Pakt.

For the sake of transparency, neither campers nor hosts can change or delete their reviews. However, if a review is incorrect or offensive, please contact us and we will decide how to handle it.

Question 45

What if I have had a bad experience with a camper?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry that you had a bad experience. To keep reviews truthful and transparent, both positive and negative feedback have their place. Please describe your experience constructively, objectively, truthfully, and in a respectful tone. Please try to talk to the camper and describe what you didn't like. Please contact us if a public review should not be suitable.

Question 46

How do I create a listing on Nomady?

Accepted Answer

In the header area of our website, you will find the option “Become a host” at the top left between “Info” and “Your Nomady/Login”. Here, you will be guided step-by-step through the creation of your listing. This takes about 30 minutes. Don't worry, it's very simple and self-explanatory. Furthermore, your listing won't go online immediately; it will first be reviewed by us. At this stage, only you and we can see the listing. So you can experiment and fine-tune it. Your data is saved on every page (as long as you click “save” at the bottom of the page). This allows you to spread the creation of your listing over several days.

Creating a listing is free of charge. You can also delete your listing and contact details at any time. We do not have fixed contract terms or notice periods.

Do you need support in designing your listing? We are happy to help, just write to us at hello@nomady.camp.

Question 47

Can I still make adjustments after my camp has been published?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make changes at any time under "My listings" by selecting "Edit listing". In fact, we ask you to always keep your listing up to date. The quality and accuracy of the listings are very important to us.

Question 48

How many listings am I allowed to post?

Accepted Answer

That is up to you. We recommend starting with one or two listings and growing slowly. You can offer both "Camping" and "Accommodations".

If your natural spot offers enough space for several groups of guests, you can set the number of pitches in your listing accordingly. Your spot can then be booked multiple times. However, the pitches must be practically identical and have the same facilities. Otherwise, we ask you to create two separate listings with different names. Please also note that the maximum number of people, which you can also define, refers to one pitch. Therefore, this number (max. number of people) is always a multiplier of the number of pitches in a listing.

Question 49

What should I name my listing?

Accepted Answer

The name of your listing is how you stand out from the crowd. It should be unique, attractive, short, and easy to remember. For example, try incorporating the name of the town, a nearby river, or a mountain. Is there something special to see or experience from there? What did your ancestors call the place? Be creative! And remember, brevity is the soul of wit!

Question 50

What should be included in my listing description?

Accepted Answer

The description of your listing is its centerpiece. It should clearly show the guest what to expect.

What is special about your spot? What does the surrounding area look like? What can be seen from the camp? What should I be prepared for? What are the distances to the infrastructure?

Please do not include email addresses, phone numbers, or links to websites here.

Under "Amenities," you can go into more detail. So, make sure the description primarily makes people want to see more.

Question 51

Should I activate instant booking?

Accepted Answer

Whether you activate instant booking or prefer to receive a request from your guests first is ultimately up to you. 
We always recommend instant booking, as guests prefer camps with this option, which increases your bookings. Additionally, booking on request requires an extra confirmation or rejection, which means an additional step for you.

We have various options that might help you make instant booking possible.

Helpful features include:

* Blocking times in the booking calendar when no guests can be received.

* Integrating your Nomady booking calendar into an external calendar via an iCAL link to have an overview of all bookings there.

* Activating a lead time for bookings, i.e., how many days before arrival your guests can book.

* Offering self check-in and providing all information for the guests so they have the possibility to arrive on their own without needing someone on-site.

Should you wish for additional tips and support, feel free to contact hello@nomady.camp.

Question 52

What should I keep in mind regarding the photos?

Accepted Answer

With more and more offers on the platform, the first impression is becoming increasingly important. Good photos help to better present and market your camp.

Pay attention to good lighting conditions and use a high-quality camera. A smartphone camera with good resolution is also an option. Give campers an overview. Use your pictures to make it clear where a tent, van, or camper can be placed, and try to answer questions about the surroundings, landscape, and facilities. Photograph the site from various perspectives.

Take photos from a distance and capture the immediate surroundings. Photograph the fire pit, table and bench, and the toilet. Start your gallery with a meaningful and attractive cover photo.

Tip: Ask your first guests if you can take a few photos of the "real" camping situation.

Here you will find a checklist and some additional tips for the perfect camp photos. The eye camps too (PDF)

Tip: Image descriptions help the guest follow your familiar eye and get a good overview.

Question 53

What about campfires?

Accepted Answer

Our campers love making their own campfires. This is an opportunity often denied to them at standard campsites. Unfortunately, entire regions are increasingly having to issue fire bans due to dry spells. In such cases, we ask you to inform your guests accordingly. As responsible campers, they will understand.

Question 54

Is firewood included in the price or should it be sold separately?

Accepted Answer

The decision is yours. If you are unsure, we recommend including the firewood in the rental price as a first step. Experience with your first guests will show how high the wood consumption actually is.

Question 55

What about electricity?

Accepted Answer

Many campers are self-sufficient. However, the option to use electricity, whether for small devices or the van, is still very popular. You can decide here what you want to offer and at what price.

Question 56

Am I obliged to provide drinking water?

Accepted Answer

No, drinking water or running water is not mandatory, but it is very much appreciated. A water source can be a well, a tap on the barn, or a stream with potable water.
 
Please describe in your listing where the nearest well is or where fresh water can otherwise be obtained if there is no direct water access. In such cases, some hosts offer a small water canister for guests to borrow.
 
Most campers will need to wash their dishes at some point during their stay. It is, of course, practical if there is also a surface or a tub available at the water source for this purpose.

Question 57

What about the waste?

Accepted Answer

As a host, you decide whether campers should dispose of their waste on-site or take it with them to dispose of it themselves.
 
In our Nomady Pact, we clearly state that campers must leave your site exactly as they found it.
 
Our experience has shown that providing a waste bag that can be handed in at the end of the stay is very much appreciated.

Question 58

Do I have to offer a toilet?

Accepted Answer

A toilet near the camp significantly enhances the site and is frequently requested by campers. They appreciate it and are willing to pay more for such spots.
 
The toilet can be located at the farm/main house. A walking distance of, for example, 200m is perfectly fine. Our experience shows that for an idyllic spot, guests are happy to accept a short walk to use the toilet.
 
If there is no toilet available yet and the distance is too far, we recommend building or purchasing a composting toilet. These can be very cost-effective solutions. We are happy to advise you.

Question 59

What about showers?

Accepted Answer

The opportunity to freshen up for the next adventure is a clear upgrade and, for many campers, a valid reason to pay a bit more. Whether it's an outdoor shower or access to a regular shower, you are welcome to offer what you like and include it in your pricing.

Question 60

Do I need signage on-site?

Accepted Answer

Nomady Camp

We recommend putting up signs for the path to the camp and at the camp itself. This makes your guests feel welcome and ensures a great first impression.

Park Overnight Pitch

To allow your guests to book your camp spontaneously on-site, it is mandatory for all Park Overnight pitches to display a sign with the relevant information. You can design this yourself or simply order one through us.

As a host, we offer you high-quality metal signs. You can purchase these signs from us at cost price.

Question 61

There is no exact address for my camp. What should I provide?

Accepted Answer

In this case, simply enter the coordinates. We recommend checking the entry once. Especially in remote locations, a bit of directions is helpful for the traveler.

Question 62

Can I set my own camping rules?

Accepted Answer

All Nomady users, hosts and campers alike, commit to the Nomady Pact. This pact is about a fundamental attitude of respect towards people and nature. Specific details are not regulated within it. For this purpose, you can establish your own camping rules under "Rules". If they are particularly important to you, you can also send them to the camper again before they book, or mention them at the latest in the booking details.

Question 63

How do I write the «Booking Details»?

Accepted Answer

When creating your listing, you can fill in the following information under «Location | Contact»: 
 
- The exact address of the camp
- Your phone number
- Further information such as directions, check-in, handover, additional phone numbers, etc.
- Map of the camp marking firewood, toilet, water point, etc.
 
Campers only receive this information after a confirmed booking.

Question 64

What should I keep in mind regarding self check-in for my guests?

Accepted Answer

Would you like to offer your guests self check-in? That's great and makes a lot of sense for your operation.

In this case, please use the following fields to give your guests an overview of your camp and describe, for example, how to get to the bathroom, where they can set up camp, where to find someone on-site, or any other important information they need for their arrival.

* "Address and location" > "Directions"

* "Info for travelers" > "Information after booking"

* "Attachments"

These fields will only be revealed to guests after the booking is completed.
