Simply Camps review
A broad camp administration system with monthly pricing tied to enrolled campers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Simply Camps brings core camp administration into one system for camp directors and registrars. It supports day camps, overnight camps, seasonal programs, and year-round operations, with online registration, session capacity and waitlists, camper and family records, health forms, waivers, rosters, attendance, payments, staff workflows, and parent communication. Camps can host a website or embed registration forms and calendars into an existing site, while private family portals provide dedicated access areas.
Pricing is structured around enrolled-camper capacity. The 30-day Free trial provides full-product evaluation without a credit card. The Up to 250 campers plan costs $99 per month and includes unlimited users, registration forms, camper records, rosters, and a camp website. Up to 750 campers costs $199 per month, with the same listed highlights, while Up to 1,500 campers costs $349 per month and keeps those highlights. The Custom plan is intended for more than 1,500 enrolled campers. This structure gives growing camps a clear path between capacity bands, but the monthly cost rises as enrollment needs increase.
The product runs on web, iOS, and Android, and its broader ecosystem supports webhooks, a developer API, and managed syncs. Operational features include deposits, balances, discounts, checkout, automated reminders, email and SMS communication, staff roles and permissions, and multifactor authentication. Simply Camps is a strong fit for organizations wanting registration, administration, payments, and family communication together, particularly those with growing enrollment and multiple collaborators. Camps seeking a permanently free option or operating beyond 1,500 campers should consider whether the paid capacity structure and custom-plan process match their requirements.
