Crafting a UIX and design system for a campground booking software product
Quarry formed a successful four-year partnership with Campground Booking, a bootstrapped startup that evolved into an acquisition success. As their fractional design co-founder, we guided the company through critical design challenges and played a key role in their journey from startup to acquisition by Camping World/Good Sam.

The Challenge:
Campground Booking, founded by a trio of co-founders specializing in technology, sales/strategy, and design, hit a roadblock when their design co-founder departed early in their journey.
As the company grew and approached acquisition, the need for sophisticated product design intensified, requiring a more structured and professional approach to their design processes.
The Solution:
Quarry stepped in as Campground Booking’s fractional design co-founder, providing on-demand design leadership and support. We focused on mission-critical projects, most notably a comprehensive Point of Sale (POS) system for campgrounds.
This system seamlessly integrated with their booking software, handling both reservations and point-of-sale transactions for physical goods.
We developed a robust, tailwind-based POS system that significantly enhanced functionality and user experience for campground operators. We also improved various user flows within the main Campground Booking software, contributing to a more efficient and user-friendly platform.
Our involvement evolved with the company’s needs, from early-stage design support to more complex product development as they approached acquisition.
The Results:
Quarry’s design support played a crucial role in Campground Booking’s growth, helping them evolve from a bootstrapped startup to an attractive acquisition target. We successfully prepared the company for acquisition by Good Sam, ensuring a smooth transition and reducing the need for outsourced design post-acquisition. Our partnership with Campground Booking also opened doors to new opportunities, including projects with Camping World.
