Recreogo vs. Easy Vibe Outdoors
For camper and small-trailer owners deciding what should run their rental business.
Recreogo is a booking platform and marketplace built around powersports rentals: boats, jet skis, UTVs, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Their pitch is that the software costs you nothing, because your guests pay a 6% booking fee at online checkout instead. Easy Vibe Outdoors is the opposite arrangement, built by a camper owner for campers and small towable trailers: you pay a flat $19 to $59 a month, and your guests never pay a platform fee.
This page sticks to facts you can check yourself. Every Recreogo claim on it comes from their own public site, checked on the date above. If something's changed or reads unfair, tell me and I'll fix it.
Who pays, side by side
| Easy Vibe Outdoors | Recreogo | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $19 for your first camper, +$6 each additional, capped at $59/mo | $0. No setup, support, or monthly fees |
| What your guest pays on top | Nothing | A 6% booking fee at online checkout. Phone and walk-up bookings are fee-free |
| Built around | Campers and towable trailers, nightly stays | Powersports rentals: boats, jet skis, UTVs, ATVs, snowmobiles |
| Rental paperwork | E-signed camper rental agreement and license upload, built in | Digital waivers through a Smartwaiver integration |
Here's the thing about free software: somebody still pays for it. On a $1,000 booking, your guest hands Recreogo $60 at checkout. Once your online bookings pass about $3,800 a year, your guests are collectively paying them more than you'd pay us for the whole year, and it lands on your price at the worst possible moment, right when a renter is deciding whether to book you.
To be fair both ways: Recreogo refunds the booking fee in full when a customer refund occurs, which is genuinely customer-friendly. An idle month really does cost you nothing. And their marketplace works to bring you renters, which we don't do at all. The question to sit with is the phone-bookings loophole: taking a call instead is how your guest avoids the fee, and moving bookings back to the phone is exactly what online booking was supposed to fix.

Where Recreogo is the better pick
An honest list, because you'd figure it out anyway:
- You rent powersports. Boats, jet skis, UTVs, ATVs, and snowmobiles are their home turf, with fuel-level checklists and hourly rentals to match. That's deliberately not what this is.
- You want renters brought to you. Their marketplace markets your listings. We bring you zero renters. You bring your own.
- You want insurance in the booking flow. They integrate damage and liability coverage and cancellation insurance at checkout. We don't offer insurance. Owners and renters arrange their own coverage.
If that's you, Recreogo is a fair deal. If you rent campers to your own guests and would rather your price be your price, with no fee showing up under it at checkout, keep reading.
Switching without losing a booking
- Import your campers and existing bookings from a CSV export.
- Two-way iCal calendar sync prevents double-bookings while you run both systems side by side.
- Export everything (campers, bookings, guest contacts) any time you want. Leaving is a button here, not a support ticket.
- And I'll help personally. Email hello@easyvibeoutdoors.com and I'll walk your listings and calendar over with you.
