Pitchup Campsite Reviews & Ratings Scraper

Extract campsite, glamping and holiday-park reviews from Pitchup — 52,000+ outdoor accommodation sites across the UK, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and beyond.

Built for outdoor-hospitality analytics, park groups, booking platforms and travel research teams who need structured European camping review data.

The thing that makes this different

Most review sources give you one number per venue. Pitchup publishes category sub-scores on every individual review, and this actor returns all of them:

location · value for money · accommodation · facilities
customer service · child friendliness · cleanliness · wifi

A venue average tells you a site scores 9.4. Per-review scores tell you which guests marked cleanliness 2 while rating location 5 — and when. That is the difference between a dashboard number and something you can actually act on, and no other camping source on this store returns it.

Skipped categories come back as null, never 0. A guest who did not rate wifi and a guest who rated it zero mean opposite things, and collapsing them quietly corrupts every average built on top.

What you get

Per campsite:

Field	Detail
Profile	name, Pitchup id, full postal address, region, country
Coordinates	latitude and longitude
Aggregate rating	native 1–10 score and a 0–5 normalisation for cross-source comparison
Category averages	the 8 published dimensions at venue level
Review count	the site's total, so you know what a sample represents

Per review:

Field	Detail
Review id	Pitchup's own id — stable across runs, so incremental syncs dedupe cleanly
Rating	native 1–10 plus the 0–5 normalisation
Text	full review, with the site's Liked / Disliked split preserved
Category scores	the guest's own sub-scores, null where they skipped one
Author	display name and profile URL
Date	ISO-8601 publish timestamp
Reviewer country	where the guest travelled from
Pitch booked	the exact pitch or unit type they stayed in
Recommends	whether they would recommend it and return

One schema across sources

Ratings carry both the site's native scale and a normalised 0–5 value, so this data merges with other sources without transformation code. Useful if you already ingest campsite or hotel review feeds and want European outdoor coverage on the same shape.

Use cases

• Park group benchmarking — compare a site against its regional set on eight dimensions
• Reputation monitoring — track score and new reviews over time, deduped by review id
• Booking platform enrichment — add reviews and coordinates to 52,000+ European sites
• Complaint analysis — find which categories drive low scores, per guest, with dates
• Text analytics — clean English review text, already split into positives and negatives

Input

Field	Meaning
venueUrls	Pitchup campsite page URLs
discoverAll	Ignore the list and enumerate campsites from the sitemaps
maxVenues	Bound the run (default 100)
includeReviews	Off = profiles + aggregate ratings only, at lower cost
outputMode	venue (nested), review (flat rows), or both
minReviewCount	Skip thin listings — skipped campsites are not charged

{
  "venueUrls": [
    "https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/England/South_West/Somerset/wrantage/5-acres/"
  ],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "outputMode": "venue",
  "maxVenues": 100
}

Residential proxy is required

Pitchup blocks datacenter IP ranges. Measured 2026-08-10, same code and same request each time:

Route	Result
Direct from the platform	403
Datacenter proxy	403
Residential proxy	200, full page, all reviews

The input defaults to Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group, so it works out of the box. Proxy usage is billed by Apify to the account running the Actor, and residential bandwidth is the main cost of a large sweep — campsite pages are around 1.4 MB each. Two ways to keep that down:

• set minReviewCount so thin listings are never fetched
• turn includeReviews off when you only need profiles and aggregate scores

Honest notes

Each campsite page carries about 10 reviews, of what is often far more — the 5 Acres example has 133. Every row is flagged reviewsTruncated with the true totalReviewCount, so a partial sample is always labelled as one rather than passed off as complete.

Catalogue sweeps hit a long tail of sites with no reviews at all. Use minReviewCount to skip them; skipped campsites are not charged.

This actor is polite by design — one request per 800 ms per host, robots.txt enforced on every request, and the booking and payment paths the site disallows are never fetched.
