Shirley Lake – Campsite #5

The Short Version:

– To help recover my server costs and annual fees (this stuff can get expensive).

– Use revenue to pay for Guest Submission reports; let’s keep growing the database and get you paid!

– The content is a value-added resource; it’s like paying for a map, a book, a guided trip, etc.

– Compensate myself for the countless hours of work I’ve put into this site; I think it’s only fair ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

– Help minimize ‘bad actors’ that leave campsites in poor condition (read the long version to see what I mean).

– The annual fee is cheaper than a one-day canoe rental, or one night of car camping (or, to be cliche, one cup of coffee per month).

– Keep this place ad-free, because that’s a win for everyone… other than the advertisers, but that’s ok.

The Long Version — “Why I Started Charging for Algonquin & Beyond Memberships”
