Here is a post from Stroh Bing (thanks again) about a place located in Ratmaw (183, 33, 451)...
This should help you (and me...) to find good campsites easily.
"Hey Campers!!
Stroh Bing here with a new way for us to make sure
no campsite sits empty....
The Freemoney Group has it's very own camp bench..
Not just any campbench, we got the biggest one
in SecondLife.. AND It has links to camping benches
all over SL.
If you need a place to camp, drop by and check out
the globes on the wall..
If you find a new place with camping sites sitting
empty, you can make a land mark and drop it on
any globe that is labeled "drop camping landmark
here"
Coming soon are free avatars to get rid of noob
skins that many campsites operators do not like..
Camping gear.. etc..
Don't let good camp sites sit empty!!!
Don't let Free Lindens go to waste..
Camp On!!"

Campsites directory management
The issue of bad campsites, i.e. non paying ones, but also of sharing good spots has been in the air for a long while now. I did get some hints from fellow readers and group members, and I guess it's time now to build something.
One must be careful when identifying the objectives in such a project, to avoid any possible misuse. The point here is that I don't want to create a system which campsite owners could use to attack competitors by doing faked negative reports.
Another issue is the very high rate of change on the camping situation. Despite some campsite remain open for weeks, some are created, changed, and closed daily, if not hourly. A directory would then never be accurate. Moreover, re-visiting all campsites to ensure they're still as described would be an enormous task.
My idea is then to publish reports of camping sessions, not just campsites, and to give positive feed-backs only, not negative. The principle would be that campers report (to me, to a special avatar, via an object, ... ?) the place they did camp in, and the amount they made if they are happy with a place.
All the reports would then be compiled and made available to "Free Money from JohnLight" group members in a notecard that could be obtained either via my inventory or a distributor in my shop to be.
The good point in this system is that no one could use it to attacks a competitor campsite. I won't be possible either to publish wrong positive reports, because such fake reports would always come from a single reporter and won't get lot of credibility because no one would confirm them by additional reports.
On the other hand, good sites would get confirmed quickly by other people, so they would increase their credibility. If I can build an automated and dynamic system, this could be as accurate as the reports getting in.
Any comment is welcome.

Readers homework
I received in a previous post's comment the followin URL http://www.secondlifecamping.com/top.html
It seems promising, but it is may be just a website to attract traffic, and there is no mention of last update or such thing. As I won't have time to check all of them by myself, I wanted to ask you, reader, to check some, and give feed-back to this blog, so as to determine if some are worth or not.
Many thanks in advance for your comments.
