Many campgrounds are built from more than one source. When that happens the app lists each contributor on the campground's own screen, so you can see exactly where a record came from.

Maps and navigation
Map display and directions are provided by Google Maps on both Android and iOS. Google's terms apply to the map itself, separately from the campground information Camp Out supplies.
Campers
People who use Camp Out can confirm a campground is open, correct details that are wrong, and suggest a better location for a pin. Contributions are shown without a name. Corrections are reviewed by a person before anything changes on the map.
