Hello,Let me introduce myself. I am a software developer based out of the lovely state of Iowa. I enjoy camping on the weekends and such while working a full time job.I have had this idea bouncing around in my head for the last couple of months about developing a website that would house many different aspects of camping... Such as camper info, campsites and so on.. I really don't know what all I would like the website to do... Would anyone one be interested in an website that is all about you and camping? If so, What would you like it to do?Please mod, If this is not allowed. Please delete it.

THAT would be valuable.

Several sites like this exist. www.rvparky.com and www.rvparkreviews.com for campground location, services and reviews. Obviously, there are many sites with much the same information available such as through Good Sam and others.What is not out there that you would like to provide? What would make your website unique? Do you plan to do hands-on coverage or cull the information from other sources?

Hi,There are already a lot of sites that are well established. You would have to offer something that none of the others do.

Unless it can provide some unique information that enough people feel is important you would just be another player in a growing field.

A couple of things I would like to see is Satellite availably at each site and cell phone signal at each campground. Both of these have become important to a lot of travelers.
