How to set up a Map (a brief overview)

The Campground Master documentation covers the details of map setup quite extensively, but it may quickly get too technical for some users who simply want to know in general terms what's involved in setting up the map.

There are basically 2 steps :

1. Create a "background" image, outside of Campground Master.  For instance you can scan in a map from a printed brochure, or draw one using any image software like the Windows Paint program or Corel's Paint Shop Pro.  This can just show roads or other landmarks for reference in step 2, or it can be as fancy as you like.  (If you prefer, you can hire us to create the map image for you.)  Note that it's not necessary to draw each site, since Campground Master can draw rectangles or circles in the site locations.

2. In Campground Master, go to Maintenance / Park Setup / Maps.  This is where you load the background image you created, and then place rectangle or circle "indicators" on top of the background which will show the current status of each site and allow interaction (click the site to make a reservation, show details, etc.)

You can go back and make changes any time, like changing your background image (outside of Campground Master) and/or changing or adding site indicators (through the Map Setup).
