Write for Us Camping: Camping Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most camping pitches repeat the same packing list. What this blog wants is the tested view: how a family made a first wild camping trip work, how a glamping site filled its quiet weeks, what a guide changed after a trip went wrong, and how an outdoor brand earned trust with campers who hate being sold to.

My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers, and many of them switch off outdoors when they can. They already read my guide to choosing the right hiking boots, and the hiking guest post guidelines cover the trail side. A camping post has to help them camp better or run an outdoor business better.

60-second camping guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you camp, guide, run a campsite or make outdoor gear yourself
• Can you share a real trip or season with what changed and why
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a first time camper know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one brand or site

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• First camping trips that go well, from people who planned them
• Running a campsite or glamping business
• Gear tested on real trips, with what failed
• Camping with children, pets or a group
• Leave no trace and camping responsibly
• Weather, safety and what to do when plans change
• Marketing an outdoor brand or site to campers
• Working remotely from a van or campsite

If your post could be published on any camping site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in camping posts

These are the camping topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Trips	A real trip with what worked and what you'd change	A generic checklist anyone could write
Campsites and glamping	How you run, fill or improve a site	An advert for your site
Gear	Kit tested on trips, including what failed	A list of products from one store
Safety	What you learned when plans changed	Rules copied from official guidance
Outdoor brands	How you earned trust with campers	Your product catalogue in paragraphs

What we don't accept

• Generic packing lists with nothing new
• Gear round ups written to sell one brand
• Copy lifted from manufacturer pages
• Thin posts under 800 words with no first hand experience
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong camping pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about camping tips for beginners." A strong one says "I run a small glamping site, and I want to show the three changes that filled our quiet midweek nights, with the bookings before and after and the offer that didn't work." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Filling a campsite outside the summer holidays
• A first family camping trip, planned step by step
• Kit that failed in bad weather and what replaced it
• Camping responsibly on popular sites
• Marketing a glamping business online
• Safety lessons from a trip that went wrong
• Working from a campervan for a month
• What running an outdoor business taught you about customers

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept camping guest posts?

Yes. Camping guest posts are welcome from campers, outdoor guides, campsite and glamping owners and outdoor gear founders who can share real experience. We publish practical articles and decline generic packing lists and brand promotion.

What camping topics do you accept?

Planning trips, running a campsite or glamping business, gear tested on real trips, camping with family or groups, responsible camping, safety and marketing an outdoor brand. The common thread is a real lesson from the outdoors.

Do you accept hiking guest posts too?

Yes. Trail and walking pitches suit the hiking page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor and the same standards apply.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a camping guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience camping, guiding or running an outdoor business. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
