Pictures In Reviews Options

[dodge guy]

So I don`t know if this has come up before, but as I read some of the reviews here and when I check out the pics of campgrounds people have been too, I see how nice it is to put a place with a name. So, has it ever come up about being able to put a pic or 2 in a review for or against the reason to saty at a particular campground? maybe bad hookups, poorly laid out park (tight turns), maybe a very clean bathhouse or a very nice pool area, or any other obvious reason! I realise it would make the posting process a little more time consuming, but I think it would be a very helpful tool! just a thought while I`m sitting here checking out reviews and trying to picture what some people are explaining. otherwise this is a great site, keep up the good work!

It would be awfully hard to separate the wheat from the chaff if photos were included. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but with photoshop, various camera angles and the like, you can make a photo tell any story you want. It think it may skew the reviews rather than help.

I am not sure how a picture could be more slanted than a review could be. For example, I could write a review of a campground so as to give a wrong impression, either for good or bad. There is no verification process to make sure I am not lying. I am NOT saying there are reviews out there where people are lying or misleading on purpose. I AM saying that individual reviews can reflect facts that, while true, are not indicative of the norm. I think you can see that in the way certain campgrounds are rated quite low by some people and highly rated by others.

I think one possibility for adding pictures without having to deal with the storage and bandwidth issues would be posting a link to a Flickr account or some similar service.
