Disclosure

Information presented on thevirtualcampground.com is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. RVing is our passion and hope you enjoy the stories and resources we share with you.

Neither The Virtual Campground or its owners, Debra and Barry Benton, nor its members make any representations as to the validity, accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any claims made here. We try to keep everything on this site up-to-date, but the RV industry is constantly changing.

Neither The Virtual Campground or its owners, Debra and Barry Benton, nor its members assume any liability with regard to results based on the information provided here. We may share an article on how a family of 6 travels in an 18ft travel trailer, but it’s not in our power to guarantee you can have a good time doing the same thing. Nor do we ensure that the parks or attractions are still open or available.

Advertisers, commenters, and linked sites are solely responsible for their views and content – which do not necessarily represent the views of The Virtual Campground, its owners or its members.

We like to share information about products and services RVers like and use. Sometimes these posts will have affiliate links in them, so we get a commission for telling you about them. We only recommend products we’ve used and love, because otherwise they wouldn’t be worth sharing.

Photos and videos on our website are our own, owned by the person being interviewed, or owned by a guest writer on the site unless otherwise stated. These photos and videos may not be reproduced, copied, distributed or used elsewhere without our permission.

Privacy

This website collects information in two main ways:

  1. When you leave a comment, fill out of a form, or join our email list, we will collect the information you share.
  2. The information that’s collected automatically by third-party partners we use to power this site, like Google Analytics or WordPress. Information may include your location, IP address, and browser type. Third-party partners only give summaries of this type of information, so it is never identifiable specifically to you. This information is used to helps us create content that our readers will enjoy.

Credit Card Information

We do not collect your credit card information. All of our products are sold via third parties including but not limited to Teachable, Gumroad and Amazon. We never have access to your credit cards.

Amazon Associates

Debra and Barry Benton are participants in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
