Campsites and holiday parks get recommended by AI when their facilities and location are spelled out: pitch types, hook-ups, dog rules, pools, distance to the beach. Campers ask very practical questions, and AI names the sites that answer them in plain text.

Camping questions are about facilities and location: hook-ups, dogs, pools, beaches, quiet.

## What people ask AI

- "Dog-friendly campsite in Cornwall near the beach?"
- "Holiday park with a pool in Wales?"
- "RV park near Zion with full hookups?"
- "Quiet adults-only campsite in the Lake District?"

## Where AI gets its answers

- **Camping directories.** Pitchup, Cool Camping, Hipcamp and others.
- **Google Maps.** Location, photos, attributes.
- **Reviews.** Mentions of facilities and cleanliness.
- **Your website.** Pitch types, facilities, rules, prices.

## What decides who gets named

- **Pitch types and hook-ups** listed.
- **Facilities** like pools, showers and shops.
- **Rules** on dogs, noise, groups and age.
- **Season dates**.
