At Camp Trail HQ, our goal is to help outdoor lovers discover great places, useful gear, and expert tips to make the most of every adventure. In doing so, we sometimes include affiliate links to products, services, and tools we genuinely believe in.
To keep things transparent, here’s what you need to know:
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track when you click through to a partner site (such as an outdoor gear store or booking platform) and make a purchase. When you do, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
2. Why Do We Use Them?
Affiliate links help support Camp Trail HQ and allow us to:
- Maintain and improve our website
- Pay for hosting and operational costs
- Continue creating high-quality, free content for the outdoor community
We only promote products or services we’ve personally used, tested, or believe would be genuinely useful to our readers.
3. Our Affiliate Partners
While our partners may change over time, we currently participate in affiliate programs from brands and services like:
- Amazon Associates
- REI Co-op
- Backcountry
- [Booking.com, Hipcamp, etc.]*
4. Honest Reviews & Recommendations
Even though we may earn commissions, our opinions are 100% our own. We will never promote a product or destination just for financial gain. If something doesn’t meet our standards or align with our values, we won’t recommend it.
Our priority is helping you make informed decisions — not selling you stuff you don’t need.
5. Your Support Means the World
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, it helps support the work we do here at Camp Trail HQ — and we truly appreciate it. Thank you for trusting us to guide you on your outdoor journey.
