Can multiple pictures be added on a campsite review? or just one?

Looks like only one. I just uploaded a few from our trip last year. I'd love to be able to add multiple pictures or even videos. On this last trip, we took a video of each campsite on the lake we ended up on.

How can we let you know we submitted a review and photo?

You can add more photos but, the only way that I've found to do it is by adding/making a new "comment." Obviously there's no need to actually comment any further but, it is a way to add more photos to a given campsite or portage.

As a side note: this would be an area for possible future improvements.

...also, does each comment & photo submitted during this time frame give additional opportunities (name in the hat) to win the drawing?

Great idea and even better that it might update many sights, portages, ect. I wish I would have known last summer as I didnt take many pics, but if you "think" this might be a continuing for 2023, that would be good to know!

We query the reviews in the database tied to your username.

Yes, each comment and photo submitted during the drawing will increase the number of times your name in the hat.

So, you have to submit a picture for each review to get entered?

We know not everyone captured a good campsite picture so we will include just ratings in the drawing as well.

Just curious what the numbers show for this effort. Did you see a good increase in evaluations, and was there an increase in sites with at least one evaluation?
