I need help in seeking out a reservation system for online bookings. I have a client who owns a resort with campsites for RV's and trailers and tents etc. they also have a golf course, not that that matters any.

I need advice on online systems for booking reservations. I want the app to live on our server not the people selling the software. I would like to be able to modify the app to suit our needs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The first thing that popped into my mind was library book-keeping software.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but can the feature-set be similar enough?

Google for it. There are a lot of them around. (freeware/open-source)

Yeah, I thought of that originally also. I checked it out and they won't work at all. On the brightside through my thourough investigations yesterday I did run across an application called "StayPress" that is a Wordpress addon (plugin) that may work. The application should be available for downloading soon (hopefully).

I can generally take any app and reconfigure it to suit my needs but this is a little harder than I thought. I do have a lot of time to get this done (thankfully) so I can wait for the app. There are companies out there selling reservation systems for Hotels and B7B's and stuff, but they want an arm and a leg for the applications. On top of it they want support contracts on top of it and monthly fees, and or in combination they want to house the app on there servers for yeah you guessed it more money. I can do my own support and don't need nor want there server involved with my customers sensitive data.

Any programmers out there, this is a niche market where if you built a standalone app you could make some serious coin. (Just a heads up) if you feel like taking on a project.

You da man. That is exactly what I am looking for. By the looks of it I can modify it to include cabins or campsites or RV sites. It will be perfect. Lots of options for a open source solution. Not happy that is Drupal but like I said it will work because it can be modified.

6 months later after modifications I will be ready to roll.....lol... perfect, I have till next season to get it done anyway...

Thanks for the find, appreciate it. :D
