Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: February 2026

Transparency First

Camping Native is committed to honest, transparent recommendations. This page explains how we may earn money through affiliate relationships and how this affects (and doesn't affect) our content.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on our website are "affiliate links." This means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.

How We Use Affiliate Links

We may include affiliate links to:

  • Camping gear: Tents, sleeping bags, and camp essentials
  • Hiking equipment: Boots, backpacks, and trail gear
  • Fishing supplies: Rods, tackle, and angler essentials
  • Outdoor cooking: Stoves, cookware, and camp kitchen gear
  • Survival tools: Emergency gear and wilderness equipment

Our Editorial Policy

Our recommendations are never influenced by affiliate relationships.

  • We only recommend products we genuinely believe provide value
  • We research and compare options before making recommendations
  • We include non-affiliate alternatives when they are better options
  • We clearly identify when content contains affiliate links
  • Many products we recommend have no affiliate program at all

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running Camping Native costs money. Affiliate commissions help us:

  • Keep the website free for everyone
  • Maintain and improve our gear reviews and campsite information
  • Create new guides and resources
  • Avoid intrusive advertising

Affiliate Programs

We currently participate in:

  • Amazon Associates: Outdoor gear, books, electronics, and camping equipment

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines:

  • We may receive compensation for links to products
  • All opinions expressed are our own based on personal research and experience
  • We only endorse products we believe will be helpful to our readers

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can search for products directly on retailer websites if you prefer. We appreciate when you do use our links, as it helps support our work, but we understand if you choose not to.
