Review Template

This is the layout of each review.  Every review is a post on this blog.  You can use this review template to help you understand the structure of reviews so that you can more easily compare campgrounds; and/or, to help you work on your own campground review off-line. (These are the same questions that the submission form asks when you submit your review over the internet.) You can cut and paste this template into a word-processing program, and then into an email to send us. The creators/editors of Car Camping for Hikers (adam and amber) will be grateful for your email contributions, sent to the following address:
