FAQs

Becoming a Host

What are the fees?
We charge a flat 10% fee on all bookings. This fee is deducted from the balance paid by the camper before it is deposited to your account. We currently deposit fund via e-Transfer so you will see your money very quickly.
What about insurance?
Many insurers are familiar with the sharing economy through opening their homes to paying guests. Before you accept any reservations, contact your insurance provider and check you're covered. Ask for “Airbnb” coverage.​
What do I have to do as a host?
Well, that's up to you. You can offer a bare bones experience, allowing campers to just get on with it. Or you can offer additional services such as coffee, pitch set-up and property tours. ​
​Make sure that your profile includes a lot of images. People make buying decisions based upon pictures and the relevancy to what they want to do or experience. The more pictures, the better!
What facilities do I need to offer campers?
Again, that's entirely up to you. Some campers prefer wild camping with no facilities. Others may prefer washroom facilities and electrical outlets. If you have space for an RV, make sure to mention this in your profile as RV camping is seamless and will not require anything other than a welcoming hello.​
How can hosts make extra money?
​
Feel free to charge your campers for firewood, post camp clean-up if required and even think out of the box. If they are tent campers, maybe bake them some muffins and charge for a continental breakfast.​
Are there zoning considerations for a campsite?​
This depends on your municipality. Most municipalities are OK with the occasional camper, just like any home sharing service.​

Who are your hosts?
Our hosts have joined Pitched as they beleive in our mission to make camping better. They want to share their piece of paradise with others while telling stories around a campfire, or providing great locals knowledge on the best spots to go fishing. 
What if I have a question about a site?
Want to know more about the facilities, or have a question about the side of tent you can bring? You can contact the host before making a reservation through the 'Contact the host' section on the campsite listing. You can then chat with the host directly on the site. Don't worry, we don't share personal contact information with others.
What facilities do hosts offer?
This is entirely up to the host, some hosts offer a wild camping experience with minimal facilities. Others may offer washroom facilities and electrical outlets. Some also have space for RVs. What ever style of camping you're after, Pitched has something for you.
