Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: April 20, 2026

National Park Survival is an independent publication supported by advertising and affiliate commissions. We want to be upfront about how that works.

Advertising

We display ads served by Google AdSense and its advertising partners. Ads are clearly labeled. We do not write or endorse the content of ads shown on the Site. See Google's advertising policies for information on how ads are personalized and how to opt out of personalization.

Affiliate partnerships

We participate in several affiliate programs. When you click a link to a partner site and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Current partners include:

• Amazon Associates (gear, books, and travel products)
• Skyscanner (flights)
• Booking.com (hotels and lodging)
• Rentalcars.com (car rentals)
• REI and Backcountry (outdoor gear)

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Editorial independence

Affiliate partnerships do not influence the factual accuracy of our park guides, trail recommendations, or safety content. Our research is based primarily on official National Park Service data and published visitor information. Gear recommendations are based on reputation, reviews, and suitability for the terrain covered — not on commission rate.

Links marked sponsored

Affiliate and advertising links on the Site include the rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attribute per industry best practice. Where a section or widget is supported by a partner, we indicate that inline.
