Advertiser Disclosure

Last updated: July 19, 2026

FreeCampMaps is free to read. Here is how it pays for itself.

Display ads, and nothing else

We run display advertising. Those ads are sold and served by an ad network, not by us. We do not choose which advertisers appear, and an advertiser buying space on this site has no say in what we write. Ad slots are marked and sit outside the article body.

As of the date above, no ad network is live on the site yet. This page describes how it will work when one is.

What we do not do

There are no affiliate links on this site. Not on the country pages, not on the place pages, not anywhere. If you click a link here, we do not get paid for it, and nobody is tracking you off this site on our behalf.

We take no money from campsites, aire operators, motorhome service companies, tourist boards, or communes. No place appears on this map because someone paid for it, and no place is left off because someone did not. Inclusion is decided by one test: has an official body designated this place, and is it free.

What advertising does not buy

Rules and legality content is never sponsored. Nobody can pay to change what we say about where you can legally stop, what a stay limit is, or whether wild camping is permitted in a given area. That content exists to keep you out of trouble. Selling it would make it worthless. Every rule we publish cites an official source with a last-verified date so you can check our work yourself.

Placement on the map is not for sale. A site cannot buy a pin, an amenity we have not verified, or a better write-up. When a stopover is noisy, hard to get into, or free only until you want water, we say so.

Why we tell you this

Because a site that carries advertising should say so plainly, and because you should be able to judge what you read here knowing where the money comes from. The short version is that the money comes from the ads in the margins and from nowhere else, which is the arrangement that lets us write "do not stop here" when that is the honest answer.

Camping rules change. We cite an official source and a last-verified date on every rules page, but the land manager's own posting is the final word. Check it before you rely on ours.
