01 · How it helps
A campground listing can leave out the part you most wanted to know. These chapters help you slow down, compare the written details, and keep the information together.
1Reading the listing
Is a lake view site the same as a lakefront one?
✓Copy the words, not your impression: write the category name word for word, since “lakefront”, “lake view” and “near the lake” promise different things. Chapter 01
How can I tell if a site will be noisy at night?
✓Read the map in layers: note where traffic goes and people gather, then look for quiet spots like the far end of a loop. Chapter 02
2Before you pay
Why was the checkout total higher than the nightly rate?
✓Build the whole price: add it up line by line for your dates, party and vehicles, marking lines to ask about. Chapter 05
When does canceling start to cost me more?
✓The cancellation staircase: the day you book, pencil each date that matters onto the calendar, with a note of what each costs. Chapter 06
3Claiming your site
Did I book the exact site I picked on the map?
✓A site type is not a site number: if the confirmation shows only a category, write “site type only” and the site you requested. Chapter 03
Can I take a first-come site that looks empty?
✓An empty-looking site is not an open site: check the tag clipped to the post, and leave another camper's tag in place. Chapter 08
4Arriving at the campground
What if we arrive after the office has closed?
✓Copy the arrival instructions: the week before, write down the check-in time, checkout time and what to do after the office closes. Chapter 09
The site is not what we pictured. What do I say?
✓Record first, preference second: check the site against your record, and if it matches, make a request, not a correction. Chapter 10
