Short version: open the attributes editor on your Google Business Profile and answer every question that applies to your park. Say Yes only to what a camper will find when they arrive.

This one's for you if your listing has the right name, hours and photos, and you've never looked at the part of the editor that asks Yes or No questions. If you've already been through it this season, skip to the table.
Your Google Business Profile is the listing on Google Maps that carries your name, hours, photos and reviews. Attributes are the small Yes or No details underneath: the things a camper wants to know before they make the drive. Google's help page gives two examples, whether you offer outdoor seats and whether you offer Wi-Fi.
Why it's worth doing
Google's help page says that if you add certain attributes, your business might show up in searches for places with those attributes. That is a "might", and the page doesn't say how often or for which attributes, so I wouldn't promise anyone a ranking out of this.
Here's why I'd do it anyway. A camper who is choosing between parks on a phone is comparing what each listing says. To that camper a blank attribute says nothing, and the park down the road that answered the question gets the attention first.
An accurate listing also saves you an argument later. I'd expect fewer guests to arrive at something the listing never mentioned, and fewer reviews that start from there.
What Google's page doesn't tell you
I can't give you a list of the attributes your park will see. Google's page doesn't list them by category, and it says some attributes can only be changed in certain locations, countries or business categories. I won't guess at campground-specific ones such as hookups or pets, because Google's page doesn't name any for campgrounds. The questions you see are the questions Google offers for your park, and that is the list to work from.
Your category matters here. Google's page on categories says that based on your category you might notice special features available for your profile, and that the categories you pick affect your local ranking. If you aren't sure whether Campground or RV park is the right primary category, the guide on that choice is the place to settle it first. I'd expect it to change what the editor shows you, though Google's pages don't say so for those two categories.
The check
This is an off-season job, done before the spring bookings start. I'd do it in two passes: read the questions at a desk, then walk the park with your phone and answer them where you can see the answer.
- Open the editor. Sign in to your Business Profile, choose Edit profile, then More. Next to each attribute category, select Edit. If you don't see those words, search Google's help for "business attributes".
- Read every question once before you answer any. Google shows its own list, and some sections you won't have thought of.
- Answer Yes or No for each one that applies. If you're not sure, go and look before you click.
- Measure the accessibility ones. Google's page says an accessible entrance is three feet or one meter wide with no steps or stairs, or has a permanent or movable ramp if there are steps. A restroom doorway should be at least one meter wide with no steps or stairs.
- Save, then leave it for a day. Google reviews each edit. Don't redo a change because it hasn't appeared in ten minutes.
- Put a date in your calendar for next spring. A park changes, and last spring's answers may not hold this year.
Say Yes only to what a camper will find when they arrive.
| The question Google asks | Answer Yes when | Check before you click |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi | A guest can use it where they actually camp | Walk the far loop with a phone. The Wi-Fi coverage guide is for the gap |
| Wheelchair-accessible entrance | The entrance is three feet or one meter wide with no steps, or has a ramp | Measure the door, and look for steps |
| Wheelchair-accessible restroom | The doorway is at least one meter wide with no steps | Measure the doorway, not the room |
The one I'd check first
If I had to pick one, I'd start with Wi-Fi, because it's the answer most likely to be wrong in either direction. A park with a router in the office and nothing past the first loop is not a park with Wi-Fi in the way a camper means it. A park that does cover the sites and has never ticked the box is giving the answer away. Either way, I'd still rather a listing said less and was true.

Common questions
- I can't find the attribute I want. Is something wrong?
- Not necessarily. An attribute may simply not be offered for your category. If your category is the wrong one, fix that first.
- Will saying Yes put my park in the results?
- Google says it might, for searches for places with that attribute. It doesn't promise it, and it doesn't say how much weight an attribute carries.
- How long until my change shows?
- The page says about 10 minutes, and sometimes up to 30 days. If it hasn't appeared after a day, check that you saved the change before you ask Google about it.
- Should I leave one blank if I'm not sure?
- Until you've looked, yes. Go and look first, then answer. Google's page offers Yes and No, and a guess in either direction is the thing I'd avoid.
- Does this replace the rest of my listing?
- No. Attributes are one part of the editor, next to your hours, photos and reviews, and those still need to be right.
