Getting your campground listed
in "Camping-Canada.Com"
|
As you may be aware, more than 10 million Canadian homes and 80% of Canadians (16 and over) use the Internet on a regular basis and according to Sympatico™, "camping" and "campgrounds" are two of the most popular search items during the summer months. In the internet world, "Camping-Canada.Com" is known as a portal of camping and campground information.
Although you can build your own website with tools such as FrontPage, your website will likely not offer as much functionality as our listings (ex: online reservations, bulletin boards, rentals etc..) and the traffic (ie. visitors) to your website will likely be much less than what we get (1,000,000+ hits per month during the camping season). Simply by listing your campground with us, you're advertising your business on a national and international scale for a fraction of the cost of running a magazine ad.
You will find below our three (3) listing options. Each is shown with a short description followed by a comparison chart of what each listing type offers. Below the chart, under each option, there are links to sample listings.

| "Free listing" |
| Our "Free listing" is our most basic type of listing. Although it allows you to get your campground listed in "Camping-Canada.Com", only very basic information about your campground (ie. your campground name, province, city, number of sites and phone number) will be stored in our campground directory. The major drawbacks of "Free listings" are; |
|
| 1. |
the only information available to campers for your campground is: campground name, province, city, number of sites, phone number and a few campground services (only 6 of the 76 services) |
| 2. |
"Free listings" always show up last in campground searches |
| 3. |
you cannot update your listing information (like in "Basic" and "Enhanced" listings... see below) |
|
| |
| "Basic listing" |
| Our "Basic listing" option offers, as it's name suggests, a listing with basic information about your campground that you can maintain yourself using our listing maintenance tools. To create/update your "Basic listing", you simply enter your information in our "forms" and your listing pages are automatically created/updated in the background. Look at the table below to see which pages are included in a "Basic listing". Note that since "Basic listings" include all recreation facilities & campground services information (and icons), they show up in campground searches by "location and camping preferences"...... before "Free listings" but after "Enhanced listings". |
| |
| "Enhanced listing" |
Our "Enhanced listing" is our premium listing with all the bells and whistles. With our "Enhanced listing", you not only have a photo album but you can also have a video of your campground. You can receive online reservations and you have your own campground bulletin board. You can setup an events calendar for your campground and you can even advertise rental trailers or cabins. It's got it all! Just like with "Basic listings", you use our listing maintenance tools to enter your campground information in our forms and your listing pages are automatically created/updated in the background. Note that the best part of "Enhanced listings" is that they always show up FIRST in campground search results ....before "Basic listings" & before "Free listings"!! Campers will see your campground before they see your competitors!
