Do I have to have ads on my park map?
No. Some parks would rather keep the whole guide for themselves, and that is a normal thing to want.
Short answer
No. If you would rather have no advertisers, you buy the maps outright and we quote it by park based on quantity and page count. The guide then carries only your map, your rules, your camp information, and whatever else you want in it. Everything else works the same: we draw it, you approve the proof, we print in the USA and ship to your office. Some parks do this because they run a private or upscale operation, and some because they simply prefer it.
What the no-ads version looks like
The same map, the same rules and camp information, and the space that would have held advertising given over to you instead: more area detail, a bigger map, your own amenities, your event calendar, or simply cleaner pages. Trinity View Resort and Howdy Y'all RV Resort both chose this, and their guides are on the examples page.
What it costs
Quoted by park. The variables are how many you need, whether it is two pages, four, or eight, and the paper. Call and we will give you a number.
The middle option
Some parks keep advertising but restrict it: no competitors of their own store, no particular industries, or a limit on how many. Tell us the rules you want and we sell within them.
Why most parks take the sponsored version
Because guests genuinely use the advertiser pages. The most common feedback we get is not that guests dislike the ads; it is that they call the numbers. A camper who needs a tire at 4 p.m. on a Saturday is grateful the shop is printed there.
