Camping Manager 2012

In Camping Manager 2012, the player is tasked with building a campground that can attract tourists and satisfy their requirements.

There are two game modes: Free Play, in which the player can choose from three locations and there is no winning condition, and Campaign, that offers a number of missions in different European countries, each with their own specific challenges and winning conditions.

There are four different groups of customers in the game: children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens. Each have their own requirements in addition to the basic ones: sanitary facilities (presence and condition of toilets, showers, etc.), leisure activities (such as playground, boat rental, barbecue area, etc.), ambience (decoration, greenery and overall cleanliness of the site) and supply (ease of access to food and drinks).

The campground needs staff such as gardeners or cleaners to function properly but the player must balance the income (based on the campground rates, sales of food and drinks, and the number of guests) and the expenses (construction costs, operating costs, and staff wages) to ensure the venture remains profitable.

The game supports a night and day cycle as well as different weather conditions, both of them affecting the customers' activities and mood.
