The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CampSite the vendor publishes no pricing, so the widely quoted 249 dollar a month figure comes from directories rather than CampSite and may not reflect any current quote.; MyRec.com the annual fee scales with department revenue, so a successful department pays more for the same software as its programme income grows.
  • They diverge on capability: CampSite covers Online registration, MyRec.com covers Revenue-based annual fee.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CampSite

  • The vendor publishes no pricing, so the widely quoted 249 dollar a month figure comes from directories rather than CampSite and may not reflect any current quote.
  • Payment processing is taken by the vendor, so a camp collecting substantial tuition pays far more in card fees than in subscription and cannot see that comparison up front.
  • It is lighter than heavyweight camp platforms on housing and retail, so camps with bed-level assignment and a camp store will find gaps.
  • Reporting is serviceable but inflexible, and camps commonly export to a spreadsheet for board or budget reporting.
  • Configuration work is concentrated in the off-season and support demand peaks in summer, so a camp adopting it late has little margin for setup problems.

MyRec.com

  • The annual fee scales with department revenue, so a successful department pays more for the same software as its programme income grows.
  • It is built for small and mid-sized departments and lacks the permitting, aquatics and multi-facility depth a large city requires.
  • Credit card processing is explicitly excluded from the fee, so the total cost depends on a merchant agreement the department must source and negotiate itself.
  • Integration surface is thin, with no meaningful connection to municipal ERP or finance systems, meaning revenue reconciliation is a manual export.
  • The vendor is small, so there is limited third-party consulting capacity and a narrow bench for support during peak registration periods.
