The Camper family is weird.. You have a lot of regular families, and you have a lot of freeloaders. Bitcoin is not wide spread in the camper culture, but is growing more and more, Regular families with kids for example are more prone to reserve and pay for a reservation, Surfers are more prone to park near the beach with no schedule because the good waves chance place. Montain climbers just park near the mountain.. heheh
Usually people are good.. Yet, the honor system does not work equally everywhere.
Since Camper culture is growing a lot, if they market this business a Bitcoin friendly im sure a lot of people, like me, would be interested. This being said, i would be a bit reticent to do an on/chain transfer or even LN if i wasnt 100% sure the business exist and is legit. With so many scams around.. Probably would do it without thinking only on my second visit or once i arrive the place.

What about paying over LN when you arrive? What is wrong with that? You see the place that is not a scam and pay with BTC/LN scanning a QR code at the entrance or at the parking lot. I think paying over LN is better than onchain. Is not a big amount too. I think the scamming will come more from the campers than from the owner. Or are you talking about booking the place before you arrive?
Are mobile apps for booking directly, at least making the reservation, not payment included? This guy doesn't want to have a webpage, just using apps to list his place and take the money at arrival.

Oh no,
The minute i see the park i would pay with LN in a second, Even on chain.
I was refering to pay with btc like a week before without previously being there once.
So many scams to take away your bitcoin, even references can be fake, So, i would wait until i get there to pay the first time just to be sure they exist

Yes, is also in owner's advantage not using intermediaries as pre-payment platforms. Only P2P over LN payment or cash in hand.
