Trying to get some organization at the family camp. Need a scheduling system (by room). Anyone know of an app or software that would work for this?

Willing to pay for it-if needed, but don't need anything too crazy like a vacation rental type POS system.

I could probably do this with Google sheets, but hoping something out there already exists

You are looking for a way for family members to reserve rooms at a camp?

If so I would just get someone to compose an excel spreadsheet.

This sounds fun, I am sure there is a great back story, mind sharing?

I would just use the thanksgiving dinner worksheet and substitute who ever is bringing the turkey gets the master, , dressing gets the big room, green bean casserole gets the bunk room, desserts gets the maids room etc

Give the google sheets a try before you go the free/cheap application route that has a crappie UI, no support and will disappear next year.

I run a hunting club with LodgeRunner.com if you do want to look at an inexpensive reservation system. It is mainly geared for fly fishing lodges; but I’ve been able to manage our lodge room reservations effectively using it.

We've been doing a Google sheets system for years, but only at times when we know there will alot of people in and out during a short time (such as holidays and the beginning of summer/snapper season).

The camp sleeps 20ish people between bedrooms, a bunk room and couches.

I'm looking for something to reserve specific sleeping arrangements/rooms so everyone can see what types of beds are available.

Not really. Its just a large camp for a very very large family that are all wanting to use it right now with all their free time.

So instead of one person having to be gatekeeper and trying to avoid drama,I'm trying to find a solution.

You can just use an online calendar like Google Calendar. You won’t be able to mark off bedrooms, but someone can claim a bedroom or bed or whatever and everyone see it.

Can’t you just share a calendar off Microsoft teams and let everyone who is a family member be in your group?

Would something simple like signupgenius.com work?

It’s mostly for meals, but you may could tailor it for beds, might be easier than google sheets if you could make it work

Look at Skedda.com

Free online booking and scheduling for your venue.

I use it a work for booking meeting rooms.
