How this site makes money
EDIT: replace [BRACKETED] items. Name the actual affiliate programs you join.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you book a stay or buy something through one, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra and does not change the price you pay.
We participate in [NAME THE PROGRAMS — e.g. Amazon Associates, Harvest Hosts, and other campground and outdoor retailer affiliate programs]. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
What money does not buy here
- A campground cannot pay to be listed.
- A campground cannot pay to be rated more favourably.
- A campground cannot pay to have a rating changed or removed.
- Listings are not ordered by commission, and several have no affiliate relationship at all.
Where we have stayed somewhere ourselves, we say so in the listing. Where a rating is based on a site visit rather than an overnight stay, we say that too. Where information came from the campground rather than from us, it is marked.
The ratings are the entire value of this site. Selling them would destroy the thing being sold, which is a reasonably reliable commercial argument as well as an ethical one.
How ratings work, and their limits
Sensory load scores reflect conditions observed at a particular time, usually in a particular season. Campgrounds change hands, install lighting, add sites, and change their quiet-hours policy. A score here is a starting point for your own questions, not a guarantee.
Specifically, please call ahead to confirm anything that would end your trip if it were wrong: pet rules, bathroom facilities, generator hours, site spacing, and accessibility. We will get things wrong occasionally. Corrections are welcome and get made quickly — write to [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS].
Nothing here is a recommendation about whether a particular place suits a particular child. You know that; we don't.
Privacy
The only personal information collected is an email address, and only if you type one in. There are no advertising trackers and no cookie banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
What is collected
- Your email address, if you join the monthly list. Nothing else is required.
- Anonymous page statistics — which pages get visited and roughly how often. No cookies, no identification of individuals.
Affiliate links and third parties
When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookie to record that you arrived from here. That is their process under their privacy policy, not ours, and we receive no personal information about you as a result — only, sometimes, the fact that a booking happened.
Who processes it
- [EMAIL PROVIDER NAME] stores and sends the mailing list.
- Cloudflare hosts the site and provides anonymous statistics.
Your address is never sold, rented, or shared for any other purpose.
Children
This site is written for adults about travelling with children. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Your rights
Ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted: [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS], handled within 30 days. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, which removes you immediately.
Terms of use
What you may do
- Read and share anything here with other families.
- Quote short passages with attribution and a link.
What you may not do
- Copy the directory, in whole or in part, into another site or product. The listings and ratings are original work and took real effort to produce.
- Scrape the site, automatically or otherwise, or use its contents to train a machine learning model without written permission.
- Republish articles in full. A summary and a link is welcome.
Liability
This site is provided as is, with no warranty as to accuracy or completeness. Camping involves risk — weather, wildlife, terrain, water, fire, and animals — and nothing here reduces your responsibility for assessing conditions and supervising your own family and pets. We are not liable for decisions made on the basis of information found here. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations, in which case those do not apply to you.
Links elsewhere
A link is not an endorsement of everything at the other end, and we have no control over other sites' content or privacy practices.
