We are going through another monumental shift in the way technology impacts our daily lives. With the introduction of Siri and Courtana Microsoft, Google and Apple are shifting the paradigm in how people access and find information.

One of the biggest trends is the “near me” clause being used in search terms. Instead of people searching for something “in a CITY” Our mobile devices have GPS trackers and positioning systems that allow a search engine or app to pinpoint plot our location on a map. Based upon this location programming will then show a list of whatever is near you…. like magic you can now ask what is the best place to camp near me. What everyone seems to ignore is that the information returned is only as good as the underlying database of information.

In addition the new “near me” trend is also overlapping with a trend where campers actively want someone to tell them what to do or where to go on their next camping trip. Facebook, for example, makes it very easy to poll your friends. But what happens when your friends are wrong, misguided or uninterested? This is a paradigm where technology and information start to diverge. Walled gardens controlled by monopolies lock users into an easy to use system that is built on false premises.

Finding the best campsite for you relies upon having a decision set, read more on this topic here,  and finding parks that match your ideal locations.
