Campground Website Photos, CG WEBSITES with outdated photos Options

[SASMITH]

We have only been rving for a short while and am having problems finding campgrounds suited to our liking. Since all rv'ers have different wants, likes, and needs the campground reviews are not always the best bet on finding a park to our liking. I generally read the review then go the CG website for more info, but what I usually find is that the website has outdated photos(photos of the park when NEW). I find it hard to understand why people would give bad reviews on a CG that looks as perfect as the pictures on their website. This concern was also brought up in the Topic on this forum "Pictures in review". I think adding a space for current and updated photo into the review would be a good idea. Just my 2 cents.

So, you have a business - a campground. This business not only provides your income but puts food on the table for your family, pays your rent, buys clothing for the family, etc. There are some sites and areas in your campground that are not very photogenic. In the interest of honesty you will post those unflattering pictures on the internet and drive revenue away?We have to get real here. Web sites are advertising. Noone is going to publish the less than picturesque parts of the park. Couple this with the fact that flattering photos are extremely difficult to take (ask a real estate company) and you can maybe understand why photos would be a less than perfect representation.

I am opposite of most. I do not want the bandwidth requirements, storage space and misleading views of photos. I can read the campground descriptions and make a pretty good judgement of whether I want to stay at a particular place. In five years of more than 200 nights per year using only this website, we have not been surprised at a new to us place to park.
