Editorial Policy
Tent & Tribe aims to provide practical, useful and trustworthy information for families who camp or are thinking about camping.
This Editorial Policy explains how we approach our content, recommendations, reviews and commercial relationships.
Our editorial approach
Our priority is to create content that is useful to readers.
We focus on practical family camping topics including:
- where to camp
- camping with children
- packing
- tents and camping equipment
- food and cooking
- outdoor activities and family adventures
We aim to make our articles clear, realistic and relevant to families with children.
First-hand experience and research
Some Tent & Tribe content is based on our own family camping experience.
Other articles may combine:
- first-hand experience
- product or campsite information
- manufacturer or provider specifications
- publicly available information
- independent research
- feedback and experiences shared by other families
We aim to distinguish between things we have personally experienced and information that has been researched from other sources.
We do not claim to have personally tested or visited something unless we genuinely have.
Product recommendations
When we recommend camping equipment, our aim is to help readers understand whether a product may suit their needs.
We may consider factors such as:
- suitability for families
- practicality
- ease of use
- size and weight
- durability
- features
- value for money
- availability
- known limitations or compromises
The most expensive product is not automatically the best choice.
Different families have different budgets, children, vehicles, storage space and camping styles, so we aim to explain who a product may or may not suit.
Campsite and destination coverage
Our campsite and destination content is intended to help families make informed decisions about where to camp.
Where possible, we aim to consider factors such as:
- family facilities
- location
- surrounding activities
- suitability for different ages
- access
- practical campsite features
- seasonal considerations
Facilities, prices, policies and availability can change, so readers should always confirm important details directly with a campsite, destination or service provider before booking.
Reviews and testing
Where we publish a review based on first-hand use, we will aim to explain the context in which the product, campsite or service was experienced.
Receiving a product, complimentary stay, discount or other benefit does not guarantee positive coverage.
We will not knowingly publish fabricated reviews or present something as an independent customer experience when it is not. UK consumer-protection guidance requires reviews and endorsements to be genuine and commercial interests to be disclosed clearly.
Affiliate links
Some Tent & Tribe articles may contain affiliate links.
If a reader follows an affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase or booking, Tent & Tribe may receive a commission.
Affiliate relationships do not automatically determine what we choose to cover or recommend.
Where affiliate links are used, we aim to make this relationship clear.
For more information, please see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Sponsored and commercial content
Tent & Tribe may occasionally work with campsites, outdoor brands, tourism organisations or other businesses.
Where content has been paid for, sponsored, gifted or otherwise influenced by a commercial relationship, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly and prominently.
We will only consider partnerships that are relevant to Tent & Tribe and its readers.
Commercial arrangements do not guarantee favourable coverage.
Accuracy and updates
We aim to publish accurate information at the time of publication.
However, details can change, particularly:
- prices
- campsite facilities
- opening dates
- product specifications
- availability
- retailer information
- travel information
We may update articles when we become aware of significant changes.
Readers should verify important booking, safety, pricing and product information with the relevant provider before making a decision.
Corrections
If we discover that something we have published is materially inaccurate, we aim to correct it.
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us through our Contact Us page and include:
- the article concerned
- the information you believe is incorrect
- any supporting source or information that may help us review it
Reader trust
We want readers to understand why something appears on Tent & Tribe and whether a commercial relationship is involved.
Our aim is to keep editorial recommendations useful, transparent and separate from any obligation to advertisers, retailers or commercial partners.
