Bolthole Index is reader-supported.
Bolthole Index (operated by 1732 Studios LLC) participates in affiliate and referral programs. This means some links on our site — for example, links to book a campsite on Hipcamp, to browse land and homes on partner listing sites, or to buy off-grid gear such as water filters and power stations — are affiliate links.
If you click one of these links and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you. Commissions are one of the ways we fund the free content on this site.
The programs we work with change over time and may include affiliate networks (such as Sovrn Commerce) and direct merchant referral programs (such as Hipcamp, Crystal Quest, and Bluetti). Some links on the site are ordinary, untracked links that earn us nothing — we include them because they’re useful.
Our recommendations and rankings are not for sale. We compute Index scores from public data using a consistent methodology and are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We link to a merchant because it is genuinely useful for readers researching a place — not because of a commission.
