How RoamFound is built
Every place in our database is sourced from public records — the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System, OpenStreetMap contributors, the National Park Service, and Wikipedia. We don't pay anyone to be listed, and we don't accept payment to manipulate rankings.
Where we earn revenue, it's transparent: contextual links to accommodation if you're driving in from out of town (we earn a small commission, you don't pay more), and ads on some pages. Read more on the methodology page.
