dewilso Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I know that many of us use various APPs for finding facilities. We look at ratings, comments, locations, inclusions, prices (if applicable) and what ever else. We use AllStays, Gas Buddy, Free RV parking, RV Park Reviews and many others. My question is how many actually contribute their knowledge to improve or maintain these valuable resources ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 We've contributed and reviewed hundreds on RV Park Reviews - mostly public parks. That was our 'go to' site. Also to the Escapees 'Day's End' site for boondocking sites. We used both during our travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I did when we were RVing. Fair is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosback Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I contribute regularly. I should report more campgrounds, but lately I have been staying at Elks Lodges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 It is difficult to know what share of people on these forums take the time to conrtibute information to the sites & apps that they use, but I suspect that it is a higher percentage than it would be if you could look at all RV owners. People who take the time to contribute to a forum like these probably do that with the others. I can tell you that I use Gas Buddy, RV Park Reviews, Campendium, and Escapees camping guide on a regular basis and I also contribute to all of them on a frequent basis.

SWharton Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 We contribute to many that we use. Some with input others with $$. Any of our contributions hopefully make the website better for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FL-JOE Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I use RVParky on a regular basis and review each and every CG we stay in. I will also use Yelp if we patronize a local business in the area and it is either really good or really horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotoes Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I contribute every time I go to a park recommend by the site and pay them to stay in their park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I review nearly all the parks I stay at on Campground Reviews (formerly RV Park Reviews). The ones I don't review are because I forgot to and too much time has passed for me to remember the good and the bad. I usually do my review the day before I leave a park. If a week goes by, I have probably stayed at one or 2 more parks and the details get fuzzy pretty quick. One thing about reviews is they are simply one person's opinion. When the rating and the text do not match, I ignore the entire review. And that happens a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewilso Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Interesting. I don’t agree with Kirk, I believe if someone sees the thread and has a positive response, they would claim the credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty77_7 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I admit I go in phases of doing well in contributing to all (Well not Yelp - Legalized extortion IMO, so boycott until they change their business practices.) of the mentioned sites. Then I'll get sidetracked, and let a few months go by where I just don't take the time to contribute. I know I should do so, and just before I posted, I asked the DW if she'd help me remember, and even take over the updates on a few of the sites - so hope to be more consistent in the future:)! Best to all, be safe, have fun, Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly2low Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm at about 80% in supplying reviews 100% on those places that have been particularly good or bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravellingCircus Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 We have mainly used gasbuddy, rvparky and parkadvisor. I will leave ratings and recommendations, mainly good for privately owned parks but don't for public cgs especially if they are hidden gems since I dont want digital popularity to contribute to its demise as a hidden gem.

hemsteadc Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I use none of those the OP listed, but I do use Escapees' own Day's End. I contribute to that every chance I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I stopped some years ago. I was submitting CG reviews, most of which never were published. Some were positive, some negative. Now I only use Good Sam to look up CG reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
