Maximizing Guest Laundry Appeal & Profit

A well-designed guest laundry isn’t just a convenience – it’s a powerful amenity that boosts your campground’s appeal, drives guest satisfaction and generates steady revenue. Campgrounds with modern, efficient laundries not only attract more bookings, they also enjoy faster returns on investment (ROI). If your property doesn’t have a guest laundry – or yours feels outdated – now is the time to invest in one that enhances your guest experience and maximizes profit.

Invest in High-Efficiency Equipment

The heart of your campground’s guest laundry is the equipment. Choose washers and dryers, like our LG Commercial, E-Series or GS-Series, designed for performance, efficiency and reliability:

• High efficiency machines lower utility usage and operating costs.
• High-spin extract speeds (350–450 G-force) shorten dry times and increase machine turnover – meaning more guests can use your laundry each day.
• Commercial-grade reliability and warranties minimize downtime, repairs and costly headaches.
• Smart sizing options, such as stack units or compact designs, help you fit more wash capacity into limited space, while at least one large-capacity washer (80–130 lb.) accommodates bulky loads.
• Soft-mount designs allow for machine installation without reinforced concrete foundations and bolt-down – essential for many campgrounds.

With the right mix of equipment, your guest laundry becomes a profit center instead of a maintenance burden.

Make Payment Simple & Flexible for Guests

Today’s guests expect convenience. An electronic payment system that accepts debit/credit cards, mobile wallets (Apple Pay/Google Pay), coins and EBT cards keeps campers on-site and boosts revenue.

Design for Flow & Convenience

The layout of your laundry matters. Work with your Continental equipment distributor to maximize space, improve traffic flow and create a guest-friendly environment. Simple design choices, like wider aisles, folding space and easy machine access, translate to happier guests and greater use.

Add Revenue-Boosting Extras

Take your laundry from functional to profitable with added amenities:

• Retail & Vending Sales — Stock detergents, softeners, toiletries, camping essentials, snacks and beverages.
• 24/7 Access — Flexible hours mean more revenue opportunities.
• Guest Comforts — Free WiFi, seating areas, or a kids’ play corner make laundry less of a chore.

Promote Your Laundry as a Premium Amenity

Don’t let this hidden gem go unnoticed! Highlight your laundry on your campground’s website, booking platform and social media. Guests actively look for clean, modern guest laundry facilities when choosing where to stay – make sure yours stands out as a reason to book.
