Submit A Campsite Report

Submit a Campsite Report,
Get Paid 💰

A few years ago I decided to open my campsite report database to include “Guest Submission” reports. There have been 100+ Guest Submission campsite reports so far. Now that I’ve added a Membership aspect to Algonquin & Beyond, I’m going to use that revenue to begin providing compensation for all new Guest Submission campsite reports. Let’s continue to grow the database and get you paid! So, beginning February 2024…

Important Info — Please Read!

1. Reports do not need to be provided all at one time. I will be keeping track of submissions in a spreadsheet. For example, the “Every 5th Report” and “Every 10th Report” bonuses can be accumulated over a period of time.

2. Submissions must fit the “Submission Instructions” criteria below to be eligible and must not already be claimed in the “Campsite Queue” below.

3. **UPDATED: I’m now accepting duplicate reports**. Duplicate reports must be at least 3 years newer than the existing report. For example, if a campsite has a report from 2019, any new report should be from 2022 or later to be eligible. See here for existing reports for Algonquin Park, and see here for existing reports for Killarney Park.

4. Only backcountry campsites are eligible. This includes both hiking and canoeing backcountry campsites.

5. I accept reports from previous years — Feel free to search through your hard drive from previous trips!

6. Payment will be made via e-transfer to the email used when submitting the report. If you prefer that the e-transfer is sent to a different email, please contact me in advance.

The Campsite Queue

The Campsite Queue is where I’ll list all of the campsite reports (my own, as well as Guest Submissions) that are already documented, just not online yet. It takes a lot of time to get reports “website ready” and when camping season comes around, the backlog grows faster than I can keep up. If you plan on documenting specific campsites during an upcoming trip, check The Campsite Queue first!

Submissions are first-come-first-serve; if it’s in the Campsite Queue, someone has already ‘claimed’ the submission.

See Campsite Reports in The Queue

There are no campsites in the queue right now!

Submission Instructions

Campsite Number: Please reference the numbering system from my Campsite Reports or Algonquin Adventure’s PCI Reports. If you’re submitting a report for a lake that doesn’t already have a numbering system, please let me know. For Killarney, please use the campsite numbers shown on this map.

Description of Campsite: Give a detailed description of the campsite (200 to 500 words required). Include information about the canoe landing, terrain, tent spots, fire pit and seating, and any other notable views or features. Information that can be determined by looking on a map (eg. the location of a campsite on the lake) should be used sparingly. If you are unsure what to write about, you can reference my existing Campsite Reports.

Campsite Pictures: Submit clear, high-quality photos of the campsite (5 to 10 photos required). The best type of pictures to include are: i) canoe landing, ii) tent spots, iii) fire pit and seating area, iv) wide shots of the interior, v) view of the campsite from the water, vi) any other notable features of the campsite.

*For multiple submissions, please fill out the form once for each campsite.
