DeadbeatCampers.com, which provides a searchable database of campers with a history of nonpayment, property damage and failing to follow park rules, has added links to federal and state databases of sex offenders.
“Now our subscribers have a way to identify people with a history of sex crimes, as defined by federal and state authorities,” said Don Parent, who co-founded Deadbeat Campers, LLC in Bluffton, S.C. with his business partner, Michael Kaiser.
DeadbeatCampers.com went live in July and currently has only a few dozen undesirable campers listed. However, as more parks subscribe to the database, Parent said the database of undesirable campers will grow and more parks will be able to search the database to avoid booking sites to campers with a history of breaking park rules.
Right now, DeadbeatCampers.com is a manually searchable database. However, Parent and Kaiser are meeting with representatives of online booking platforms to discuss ways to integrate their database into the booking systems commonly used by private park operators.
Deadbeat Campers currently allows subscribers to check off seven different undesirable behaviors, including inappropriate behavior, aggressive behavior, neatness issues, failing to pick up after their pets, issues with management, property damage and unpaid bills. Subscribers also can add additional comments about their troublesome guests. Additionally, subscribers can search for undesirable campers using not only their name but their email address, phone number, city, state and zip code.
Annual subscriptions cost $345 and park operators can take a month-long “test run” of the database for only $1, Parent said. DeadbeatCampers.com also gives its subscribers the ability to add their own undesirable guests to the database, thereby helping their peers in the industry.
