Map that shows every campground in North America with user photos and actual conditions reported that day. No ratings inflation, just what people actually found.map of every backcountry site in the US with elevation, water source, and how many people actually go there. nice for picking somewhere quiet.Spent three nights camping and realized I've been setting up my tent wrong the entire time. The manual was in the bag the whole time 😅someone mapped out every maintained fire tower in the US you can actually climb, with the ones that still have someone living in them during fire season 🗺️ 🔥bought all the fancy camping gear and realized halfway through the trip that the one thing keeping me comfortable was a $12 sleeping pad from walmart while my $300 tent has a broken zipper! 🏕️😤Spent three nights in a tent with no lantern — just let my eyes adjust. The stars were so clear I could read my map by them. Now I'm that person who turns off the campfire early.
