Data sources & accuracy
Being straight about what is machine-imported and what comes from RVers, because the difference matters when you are deciding where to park.
Campground listings are imported
The roughly 30,000 campgrounds here were assembled from public sources — Recreation.gov for federal campgrounds, OpenStreetMap, state park listings, and commercial mapping data. Imported records can be imperfect: an odd name, a missing phone number, or coordinates that land at the entrance rather than the office.
Site-level data comes from RVers
Individual sites — the site numbers, pad lengths, hookups, map pins and every rating — are contributed by people who stayed there. That is the part you cannot get anywhere else, and it is the part that starts empty until someone adds it.
How ratings are calculated
A site's rating is the plain average of every review of that site; a campground's rating averages every review across all of its sites. Where reviewers disagreed we show the range as well as the average, so a 4.2 from unanimous 4s reads differently from a 4.2 made of 5s and 3s. One review per person per site.
Found something wrong?
Coordinates in the wrong place, a campground that has closed, a duplicate listing, or a name that makes no sense — email info@jarda.ai and it gets fixed. You can also correct it directly by adding the site data yourself.
