How can I write a review about a destination?

Who and What

It can be hard to know where to go without someone going before you. Even Lewis & Clark had many Indian guides. So, please share what you know, someone else will find it invaluable. You will need to have a username in order to write a review or vote (no worries, they're free and easy to make).

Here I'll give an example of writing a review and casting a vote for Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin.

In This Tutorial

  • Visit the park

    View Reviews

    The first step, of course, is to go to the park that you are intending on commenting on. It's bad form to comment on something that you have no experience with. Lucky for us, I've visited a number of parks, so I'll review a rather nice one: Devil's Lake State Park in south-central Wisconsin.

    Before you write your review, you will need to login and find the park's page at Unearthed Outdoors. You can use our handy guide to help you find it. Once you find the page, click on the "Reviews" tab to see who has been there before you.

  • Cast Your Vote

    Ballot Box

    Since you're here, you may as well give your vote on your general impressions of the park. Click on the "Click to Vote" button on the right, and a new window should appear. Cast your vote here. You can only vote once on each item, so make it count.

    Click on the "Radio Button" next to the rating that you give the park for each category. Try to keep the average rating at two tents, it's all too easy to give everything four or five tents. If everything were really that good, this website would be unneeded, wouldn't it? Click "Click to Vote" to record your vote.

  • Write a Review

    Writing a Review

    Writing your review is similar to casting your vote. Click the "Submit a new review" button to open a window. There's a space for a title, and a large space for the review itself; make good use of them. Be sure to use complete sentences and correct spelling, reviews that look sufficiently childish may be deleted. Please don't tempt me.

    When you are done with your masterpiece, click the "Submit Review" button to save it. Make sure that everything looks good, because you can't edit it later.
