We don't have too many rules, but we'll definitely vet your content and will reject anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, your post should:

-
Have links to relevant content only! No affiliate links
-
Include a short bio about yourself, with link back to your site and/or social (if desired)

Almost any topic that has to do with travel in the American Southwest or camping in general will be accepted. Send us your pitch for a guest post and we'll let you know if it fits.
Here are some examples of topics we like:
