What this helps with
This is most useful when you know you want a coastal or waterside trip, but you are still deciding how much exposure, shade, comfort, or setup friction you can live with once the real trip starts.

Fit checker
Match your setup to the kind of waterside campsite that is more likely to feel right
This first version stays deliberately simple. It helps you narrow down the kind of place to look for before you compare specific campgrounds.
Good for: first-pass trip planning, narrowing down tent vs RV comfort, and spotting obvious mismatches early.

How to use the result
Treat the result as a starting direction, not as a park recommendation. The aim is to help you compare the right kinds of campgrounds first, then move into state guides, hookup details, and booking checks with a clearer filter in mind.
What this first version does not do
It does not score individual parks yet, and it does not replace campground-specific rules. That is intentional. The first step is reducing setup mismatch before you spend time on the wrong listings.
