Submit a quiet campsite

Share a quiet, low-impact place you know well. Submissions go into review before they appear in the directory.

🔒 Before you submit: protect our quiet places

Site name and short description must NOT include identifying details about the exact location. This protects the site from overuse and prevents sensitive spots from being shared publicly.
The full Description at the bottom of this form is where you put all location information — how to get there, access requirements, who to contact, gear needed. The description is locked and only revealed to users who unlock the site with a credit.
Enter exact coordinates for verification. Only approximate coordinates appear on the public site card until a user unlocks the site with a credit.
Before a site goes live, we verify it isn't already listed on iOverlander or Park4Night. Why? If a spot is already shared publicly elsewhere, it could be "burnt" and overcrowded already — adding it here would only pile more traffic onto a place that's already exposed. Only still-preserved spots make it onto the network.

Redacted example — how much detail is enough

Site name: "Loon Lake Overlook" (no exact location in the name)

Province: Ontario

Region: Kawarthas

Road difficulty: Moderate (gravel access, high clearance recommended)

Latitude / Longitude: 44.8452, -78.2056 (enter the most exact coordinates you can — we verify them before publishing. Exact coordinates are only shown when a member unlocks the site; everyone else sees approximate coordinates.)

Short description (public): A quiet gravel pull-off with a seasonal lake view. Room for one tent. Best in shoulder seasons — no cell service, pack out everything.

Full description (credit-gated): Follow the main access road past the marked turn, ~2 km of graded gravel, high-clearance recommended. Faint spur on the right — look for the lone birch. No facilities, no water source nearby. Recent moose tracks in the area.

Quietness score: 4 — Quiet · Privacy score: 4 — Private

Who can see this site? Required

Choose a visibility level for this spot. Every submission is reviewed by an admin before publishing, and unlocking full details always costs 1 credit at any level — the level only controls who can see the site exists.

Standard Visible to all members. Best for spots you want the community to find and enjoy. Trusted Visible only to Trusted and Highly Trusted members. Use this for quieter, more sensitive spots. Highly Trusted Visible only to Highly Trusted members. Maximum protection for sensitive or at-risk locations.

Unlock limit Required

How many members can unlock this site per year? Once the cap is reached, the site stays hidden from new unlockers until the next annual window — you, admins, and members who already unlocked it are never affected.

Unlocks per year (1–100)

Default 10. Lower caps protect sensitive or fragile spots; higher caps give the community more access.
