Who we reach

Cabins & glamping

Reach campers who want the mountains with a real bed.

Outdoor businesses

FAQ

Questions advertisers ask

Will my listing say it is paid?

Yes. Paid placements are always labeled "Featured", "Sponsored" or "Advertisement". Campers trust the directory because we are open about it.

Do I need to claim my listing first?

For featured and sponsored placements, yes — claiming is free and verifies you own or manage the campground. You can buy first; we will help you claim during review.

When does my placement start?

On the day we activate it after reviewing your details, usually within two business days. The duration counts from activation, not from purchase.

Can you guarantee bookings or a ranking?

No. We guarantee the placement itself for its full term, and we show you views and clicks to your website, booking page and phone.

What happens when a placement ends?

The promotional benefits are removed automatically. Your standard listing stays in the directory — it is never deleted.

What is your refund policy?

Full refund before activation or if we decline a placement. See Advertising Terms & Refunds for the details.
