Urgent request to campground owners
Please have pictures of your actual campsites, facilities, scenic views, etc under the "photos" tab on your website! I am so tired of clicking on that tab only to see pictures of kids with face pai...

Then there is the search engine optomization thing. You could design your own great website, but if it does not contain the correct key words, There you are on page 14 of google. No one will ever find you
Search engine optimization is a different (all be it related) subject from website design. My experience is googling campgrounds rarely comes up with decent results even if they have a professionally built site that has been optimized but if I know the name of the campground it comes up just fine regardless of the optimization.
A basic website is not that complicated to set up. There are internet sites that provide simple templates anyone can fill in. Shouldn't take more than an afternoon if you have the pictures on hand already.
Back to the originial subject: I think some of the issue is independent campground owners tend to be more focused on being outdoors in a physical environment. I can't count the number of times, the kid at the desk points to the owner who is out on the tractor moving picknic tables or hauling firewood. Setting up a website is just not that high on thier list. Probably not the best buisness approach but it's what I've seen.
