Booking calendar

One calendar. Keep scrolling.

Move through your season by scrolling, not by loading one page of dates at a time. Drag across empty dates to start a booking with the unit and stay already filled in, block a pitch without leaving the screen, and watch channel bookings appear on the same timeline as your own.

The real booking calendar, using demonstration guests and accommodation.
More than a coloured diary

Read availability, the reservation and the working day together.

A useful reservation calendar should help the team answer the guest, protect the inventory and prepare the operation without switching between disconnected records.

A timeline, not a page

Scroll forwards and backwards through the season without waiting for a page of dates to load. Jump straight to a date, or step a week at a time, and today stays anchored so you never lose your place.

Fast on a big park

Only the part of the calendar you can actually see is drawn, so hundreds of pitches and units stay responsive rather than turning the calendar into something you avoid opening.

Built to be worked in

Drag across free dates to start a booking with the unit and stay preselected, create a manual block where something cannot be sold, and remove it from the same place when it can be again. Booking bars stay usable as the calendar scrolls sideways.

Inventory that fits the site

Sell the grade. Operate the exact pitch or unit.

Accommodation businesses do not always sell inventory the way they allocate it. Keydesk can structure grades and individual units so the calendar reflects both the guest offer and the team’s operating reality.

01 · Structure

Define the bookable grade

Group suitable pitches or units by the capacity, facilities, pricing and stay rules a guest can choose.

02 · Allocate

Place the reservation

Allocate the exact pitch or unit according to the operating approach agreed for your business.

03 · Protect

Close what cannot be sold

Block a unit straight from the calendar for maintenance, an owner’s week or a flooded field, and remove the block when it is no longer needed. Those blocks also go out through your channel connections, so nothing gets sold underneath you.

A controlled change

An amendment changes more than a rectangle.

When dates or accommodation change, review the stay, price, payments and remaining balance together. The calendar should start the workflow, not hide its consequences.

From calendar to today

Give the arrival team the view they actually need.

The longer calendar answers what is happening across the season. The daily operating view turns those reservations into a clear list of arrivals, departures and exceptions.

Notes
One calendar, varied inventory

Built around outdoor accommodation, not a row of identical rooms.

Each accommodation type can retain the capacity, pricing and stay pattern it needs while remaining visible to the same team.
Current scope: the calendar shows direct website and booking-office reservations, dates imported through two-way calendar sync from any channel that publishes a calendar feed, and bookings from the full Pitchup API integration. Calendar connections carry dates rather than rates, so this page does not claim that prices or listing content are synchronised to channels other than Pitchup.
Booking calendar questions

Reservation calendar FAQ

What is booking calendar software?

Booking calendar software gives an accommodation team a time-based view of availability and reservations. A useful operational calendar also shows which unit or pitch is involved, the reservation status, closures and the information needed to manage changes and upcoming stays.

Can a booking calendar manage pitches and accommodation units together?

Yes. Keydesk is being built for mixed accommodation businesses, so touring pitches, lodges, pods, caravans and other bookable inventory can sit in one calendar while retaining their own capacity, pricing and stay rules.

Does the calendar show live availability for direct bookings?

Yes. Keydesk Direct and reservations taken by your booking office use the availability held in Keydesk. Operating dates, confirmed reservations and closures affect what can be sold.

Can I sell a grade and allocate the exact pitch or unit later?

Keydesk supports grade-based accommodation structures. The allocation approach depends on how your business sells and operates its inventory, so confirm the required workflow during onboarding.

Can staff move or amend a reservation?

Reservations can be amended as operating plans change. The important part is to review dates, accommodation, price and balance together rather than treating a move as a colour change on a diary.

Does Keydesk prevent double bookings from online travel agencies?

It removes most of the risk, which is an honest claim rather than a guarantee. Pitchup availability is published from the Keydesk calendar and Pitchup bookings return to it through a full API integration. Every other channel connects through two-way calendar sync, so a booking taken there imports as blocked dates and your own bookings, closures and manual blocks go out as unavailable dates. What nobody can promise is instant timing: channels refresh calendar feeds periodically, so two bookings landing on two channels within minutes of each other is still possible.
