Campground Website Photos, CG WEBSITES with outdated photos Options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 I generally read the review then go the CG website for more info, but what I usually find is that the website has outdated photos(photos of the park when NEW).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.

kcmoedoe, you are right that it is Advertising! However, as I mentioned about the "kids" pictured on a website that promotes an empty nest CG or as 1775 points out not showing who you are, what amenities does your CG offer, they are only hurting themselves. Campground owners that resort to a distortion of who they are and what they offer will not be in business to long, especially in this internet age with sites such as this. What I believe creates some of the confusion amongst CGs is they have two distinctly different clients they are looking to attract. One is the seasonal camper who sets up their rig of choice parked for 6 months or so at one spot. The other is the transient travelers (I believe that would mean most of us) looking for someplace nice for a long weekend or perhaps a little more. I can't blame any CG that looks to lock up their revenue source with the security that seasonals bring. However, I just wish they would point out on their websites that they welcome the road warriors that we are and tell us a little more on what they have to offer in comparison to the next CG down the road. Convince me that they will really try hard to earn my hard earned money.
