How photographs are used
Location-specific photographs appear alongside the corresponding park. Images in broad regional travel guides depict the named park or a related named destination, not necessarily an individual reservable campsite. National Park Service campground and beach listings use images associated with the named location in official NPS records. Historical images are labeled. Where a photo cannot be verified, a clearly labeled photo-pending panel is shown.
