Technological innovation for campsites
Campsites have long been a favorite spot for lovers of the great outdoors. However, with the rapid technological advances of our time, it’s no surprise to see these traditional spaces adapting to new technologies to enhance the camper experience.
A recent innovation gaining popularity in many outdoor hospitality establishments is the use of tactile totems, offering a range of services and information accessible at the touch of a fingertip.
What is a tactile totem?
A tactile totem is an interactive device equipped with a touch screen that gives campers easy access to a variety of information and services. Typically placed in strategic areas of the campsite, such as reception, common areas or information points, touch totems offer a user-friendly, intuitive interface for interacting with the content displayed.

Vacationers can access interactive tour guides that provide information on local attractions, places of interest, and much more.

Touch-sensitive totems display scheduled activities at the campsite, such as yoga sessions, group excursions and themed evenings, enabling campers to plan their days.

Some outdoor hospitality establishments offer additional services such as ordering food or camping supplies via the touch-sensitive totems, offering campers added convenience.
