It's the one and only chance I've had to give her a petty dose of her own medicine, as she's generally proven herself to be incapable of having an original thought of her own, LOL.

Oh, I forgot to add - I was so salty about her first "recipe" post, that I did my own collection of FIFTY S'Mores recipes (including 5 or 6 of my own).

It was fun! There are a lot of bloggers with cool ideas out there, was happy to link to them.

*I looked through my previous posts, even.

Uuuugh so many typos when ranting!!
August 13, 2025 at 10:49 AM
Ugh.

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.

There is something incredibly gross about an able bodied person stealing from a physically disabled person, then VERY SPECIFICALLY not bothering to actually do the work with regards to the accessibility issues.

Providing inaccurate info for the sake of keywords is SO harmful to the disabled.
August 13, 2025 at 10:45 AM
I'm also just really offended over the halfassing of the accessibility reviews.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:43 AM
Also, I can't imagine just wholesale copying everything that someone else does.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:41 AM
It's WILD.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:39 AM
Her first "recipe" was just ten versions of s'mores.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:38 AM
... And she started posting half-assed commentary on that.

(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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:37 AM
.. are placed at standing height".

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. ..
August 13, 2025 at 10:34 AM
For instance, she'll say "we find this to be an accessible campground, because they have accessible showers and a barrier free campsite" or whatever.

I'll say "the showers are designated accessible, but the path up to the comfort station has X as a barrier, and the shower head/controls...
August 13, 2025 at 10:31 AM
We've monitored her site ever since, because this was *egregious*.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Actually, the theft on her site was so widespread, I contacted Google and her web host.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:28 AM
We booked at literally the earliest moment that site became available.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:26 AM
There are hundreds of campgrounds in Ontario, and usually hundreds (sometimes over a thousand) sites in each of them.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:24 AM
Then the campers came out, and SURE ENOUGH, it was the people who had been stealing from us.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Two minutes later, he comes in and says "you're not going to BELIEVE this .."

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:21 AM
I showed it all to my husband, who was ALSO pissed off, having seen how much work I put into everything.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:20 AM
She put certain photos exactly were I did (the main campground sign immediately after the block with contact info), etc.

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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:18 AM
And I came to one that was a campground we'd also reviewed.

... 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.
August 13, 2025 at 10:16 AM
She even had my accessibility header... Though her info was clearly from an abled POV.

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...
August 13, 2025 at 10:14 AM
Anyway, I clicked through on this person's site to look up cell info, and it was formatted into a direct copy of the ENTIRE template I'd put so much work into.

I mean, line by line, every heading named the same, etc.
August 13, 2025 at 10:13 AM
.. in a logical and user friendly manner, etc.

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.
