Can I ask for an icon/feature that is unique to my park?

Due to overall consistency and clarity for consumers, we do not create custom icons*. However, we can add text labels to your map to indicate important features or locations that we may not have an icon for.

*We do regularly evaluate our amenity icons and seek to continually update and improve. As we receive consistent requests, we will evaluate and create new icons as needed.

Do you provide a key or legend so guests know what icons represent?

We do not provide a key or legend, as the icons provided are designed to be clearly understood at a glance. Additionally, avoiding keys keeps the final map clean and easy for guests to review, without additional information to distract them from moving forward with a booking.

Is this map available for print to be used as a physical campground map for guests?

The map we provide in Campspot is only for booking purposes, it is not available to be printed.
