How to Review & Provide Condition Updates

Visit a site detail page and scroll to the Reviews section. You can:

- Rate the site from 1–5 stars

- Leave a comment about your experience

- Mark your review as a condition update if you've visited recently

Each review builds your credibility and counts toward your contribution level (3 reviews = Contributor, 10 = Active Contributor, 25 = Top Contributor) and its badge. Reviews help other members decide if a site is worth visiting and what conditions to expect.

Reviews are moderated before being published — a short approval keeps the community signal clean. Once your review or condition update is approved, it also raises your trust score. Your reviews are shown with only your first name and your highest badge — your identity stays private.

A condition update tells the community about the current state of a site. Examples:

- 'Road was washed out after spring melt — 4×4 required'

- 'Fire ban in effect, no campfires allowed'

- 'New logging activity nearby, less quiet than before'

- 'Site was clean and well-maintained'

Condition updates are highlighted differently from regular reviews so members can quickly spot recent intel. They're the most valuable contribution you can make.

- Be honest and accurate

- Don't reveal specific coordinates or private access routes in comments

- Focus on the camping experience — not personal grievances

- Update your review if conditions change significantly

- One review per site visit — multiple updates to the same review are fine
