This disclosure explains where facility and map information comes from, how dollar-sign price tiers and ratings are derived, and addresses intellectual property and limitations of liability at a high level. It supplements our Privacy Policy and any Terms of Use we publish for VetCamps.
VetCamps compiles information about campgrounds, recreation areas, parks, VA and related facilities, and similar points of interest solely from public sources. We do not license or ingest private, non-public, or paywalled proprietary databases whose terms would prohibit our use for a consumer mapping product.
Public collection methods include, without limitation:
We do not claim every field has been individually verified. Information may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect.
Parts of our catalog are bundled in the app or loaded from curated files we build from public sources (e.g., spreadsheets converted to JSON). We do not assert ownership over underlying facts (generally not copyrightable in the U.S.), but we assert rights in our selection, arrangement, expression, database structure, and app UI to the extent protectable by law.
Where we use third-party map or places services (e.g., Mapbox, Google Maps Platform), use is governed by their terms, licenses, and attribution requirements. Map data, imagery, and place results may be © their respective providers as indicated in-app or in provider documentation.
References to the U.S. Department of Defense, military services, National Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Veterans Affairs, or other entities are for identification and user convenience only and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or official affiliation unless expressly stated in writing by that entity.
The only user-generated content we incorporate for community features is content submitted by VetCamps users through the app (e.g., place reviews, community posts, comments, profile fields, moderation-related metadata as described in our Privacy Policy). We do not purchase private social-media feeds or closed third-party UGC datasets as our community corpus.
VetCamps may show a relative price tier using one to five dollar
characters ($ through $$$$$). This is
not a price guarantee, contract, or quote. It is a coarse index derived
from stated campground pricing where we can infer a typical
minimum daily rate in U.S. dollars (USD), from official
websites, email, phone, and structured or unstructured text in public listings (e.g.,
“Sites & rates” tables). We do not use undisclosed private rate feeds from unrelated
parties as the authoritative source for our tier.
Fixed brackets (implemented in application logic):
| Tier | Display | Inferred minimum daily (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $ | $1–$12 per day |
| 2 | $$ | $13–$21 per day |
| 3 | $$$ | $22–$32 per day |
| 4 | $$$$ | $33–$41 per day |
| 5 | $$$$$ | $42 and above per day |
When a range is given, we use the lowest plausible daily value for tiering (subject to parsing rules). Weekly/monthly/military/holiday/tax variations may not be fully reflected. Currency is treated as USD; non-USD-only quotes may be mis-tiered or lack a tier. If no reliable daily rate can be inferred, no tier is shown.
Always confirm current pricing and eligibility with the official facility or reservation system before booking or traveling.
Community star averages are from ratings voluntarily submitted by users; they are opinions, not facts, and do not constitute our endorsement of any facility. Third-party place ratings (e.g., Google Places) are subject to the third party’s terms and attribution; do not scrape or redistribute them outside permitted mechanisms.
Facts (addresses, coordinates, published rates) are generally not copyrightable; databases of facts may receive thin protection in selection or arrangement. We respect others’ rights in expressive content (long-form text, photos, marketing copy) and seek to use public facts, licensed APIs, user-licensed UGC, or our own expression.
Names and logos may be trademarks of their owners; we use them in a nominative manner where reasonably necessary to identify facilities or map providers. No trademark owner necessarily endorses VetCamps unless stated.
If you believe content infringes your copyright, contact us at support@vetcamps.app (see our Privacy Policy for process details).
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, listings, coordinates, tiers, ratings, and related information are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” for general informational purposes only. We disclaim warranties implied by law where allowed. We are not liable for loss or damage arising from reliance on map data, listings, or user content, including travel, financial, or safety outcomes, except where liability cannot be excluded by law.
We may update this disclosure or our data practices without prior notice. The date at the top reflects this page revision.
