SkyChecked verifies the sky above camp.
A field guide for the modern camper — built around honest reporting, repeatable reviews, and a trust ladder that tells you exactly where each report stands.
A clearer picture of the sky above camp.
Booking a campsite shouldn't be a guess. SkyChecked exists to give campers, RVers, remote workers, Starlink users, solar campers, stargazers, astrophotographers, drone creators, vanlifers, overlanders, and campground owners a clearer, verified picture of the usable sky above a campsite — before a reservation is made.
We focus on four things: signal, solar, stars, and photo-friendly views. Every report is labeled by trust level, so you know whether you're reading a community note or a verified field review.
Clear labels. Honest field notes.
SkyChecked is built around clear labels, transparent methods, and honest field notes. Community reports help point us in the right direction. Property submissions help us understand what campgrounds offer. SkyChecked Verified reports are field-tested using a repeatable review process.
Paid reports may fund the work, but they do not guarantee a favorable rating.
Clear labels
Every report shows where it sits on the trust ladder.
Transparent methods
Our review checklist is published and repeatable.
Honest field notes
Written for campers first. Plain-spoken and fair to the property.
Independent ratings
Paid reviews fund the work — never the score.
A field guide, not a sales channel.
Our goal is to help campers, RVers, creators, and campground owners better understand the sky above camp. That means publishing practical guides, explaining how to test a campsite, and clearly labeling what has been submitted, reviewed, or verified.
The site grows from the ground up — community notes, property submissions, and field reviews — and is published as a public resource for the camping community.

Field tester programA repeatable review process
Verified data is the difference between confidence and a guess.
Signal is more than cell bars
Cell, WiFi, Starlink, terrain, line of sight, and field communications all shape what actually works at a campsite.
Starlink needs sky
Tree canopy and ridgelines decide whether a setup actually works.
Solar lives or dies on shade
Two adjacent sites can have completely different sun exposure throughout the day.
Dark sky is rarer than it looks
A nearby light, an open horizon, a closed canopy — small details define the night-sky experience.
How reports are labeled
Community notes help point us in the right direction. SkyChecked Verified reports are field-tested using a repeatable review process. Every report shows where it sits on the ladder.

A clearer picture for your guests.
A SkyChecked report gives campers a clearer picture of the sky above a property — from signal and solar to stars and photo-friendly views. Campgrounds can request a field review and, when one is complete, use the badge to show guests that their sky access has been reviewed.

When property review tiers are available, they will be priced to fund the field-guide work — never to influence the findings. The trust ladder applies to every report, paid or not.
