Evangola NY Campground Sites Added

We added pictures and reviews for all the campsites at the Evangola New York campground to http://www.mycampsitereviews.com/. This is a great campground located right on the shore of Lake Erie. The are many sites with a view of the lake and a nearby beach. Please note, however, that the campsites do not have access to the lake.

Take a look at these reviews and let me know what you think.

Why we created MyCampsiteReviews.com

My family and I have been avid campers for many years. Whenever we would camp at a new campground, we would read reviews of the campground to make sure we were going to a great place for us.

The problem was, until we went there once, we wouldn't know which sites at the campground were good and which were bad. My experience is that every campground, even the best ones, have some really bad sites. Due to Murphy's law (or some other universal force), we would always seem to get a bad one on our first visit.

What we started doing was to markup and save a campground map showing which sites were good and which were bad. When we got home, we would file these in case we ever went to that site again. This works great for repeat visits. However, it doesn't correct the problem for the first visit.

So... We got the idea to create a website where campers could rate individual campsites. Now when we go camping, I can see a picture of what the site looks like, and site ratings posted by my fellow campers.

We want to build this into a great community, so please try out the site www.MyCampsiteReviews.com and give me feedback on how we can improve it.
