I could rant all day about this. I'm just really annoyed and creeped out by the whole thing.
Also kind of want to troll and see what kind of nonsense I could add to my camping blog, just to watch her copy it.

If you read my site and think "wow, covering accessibility in campgrounds is a great idea, I should totally do the same", fine.
I wish more sites WOULD cover accessibility, frankly.
But actually DO IT.

I don't even have time to READ other blogs, much less plan entire posts around what someone else is doing!
It just seems really inefficient.
Well, at least beyond stealing my template, I guess.

Some people tell me I should be flattered that she's copying everything I do, but I'm really just more creeped out and frustrated.
I don't get WHY.
Blogs are supposed to be a personal expression, after all.

The first and last were the same as two posts I've made recently, which were the only two with actual photos in her entire post.
The rest were just cutting boards with ingredients for each.

(Eg: I'll discuss where the best north-facing views are in a park, what we saw, light pollution, etc... She ... tried.)
I was joking to my husband that she's going to add a recipes section next.
Sure as hell... She did.

You know, discussing ACTUAL accessibility.
We do a lot of birding. She doesn't, so she just says "We aren't avid birders, but you can see...."
We post at length about night sky photography, northern lights viewing, etc. ..

Since that point, she copies pretty much everything I do, just... Poorly.
When she writes an accessibility section, she just parrots whatever the campground says, without actually looking at the reality of it.

Her site came down, some changes were made, and a VERY minimally different version was back up soon after.
Still using my template, but I'm guessing she ran the plagiarized posts though AI to "fix" them.

There were other campers there for a day or two before they arrived, so the earliest they could possibly have booked was five months to the day before *they* arrived.
I'm still really suspicious about that whole thing.

The odds of these people showing up across from us were... Well, incredibly slim.
Also, the way reservations work, we know that they booked at *least* a day after we did.

Now, I had to deal with two stalkers in my teens. Let me tell you... I don't think I've ever been so creeped out in my life, as when I looked out the window and saw the person I'd JUST learned about.

Turns out he was out there grumbling to himself about it all, looked up and noticed the same style of camper as theirs, across from us.
He laughed, then realized the truck looked the same as theirs as well.

She made NO attempt to hide the wholesale theft of my work. It was BRAZEN.
Our day was ruined, so we decided to pull up early and head to the next campground. He went outside to get started.

Out of every possible photo she could possibly have used for the accessibility section, she took a photo of the same staircase I did, from the same angle.
It was CREEPY.

... Line by line, the ENTIRE post was plagiarized from my own review.
Like she'd basically taken my post and slightly rewritten each line, saying the exact same things I did.
Line. By. Line.

I was PISSED.
There are few things more enraging than seeing something you put a ton of thought and time into, just stolen with a few clicks of a mouse.
So I looked through a few other of her reviews...

I'd like see my previous posts, looked ahead to other campgrounds we'd be going to, and just really thought out which categories people would want to read about.
This included a section on accessibility, which I've never even seen on a camping blog.
