[Talk-us] Mapcarta with wrong info in Utah - whom to contact?

Hi,

does anyone have contacts with Mapcarta?

https://mapcarta.com/Eagles_Campground_2422656

lists a camp ground that is not on OSM, and has never been, together
with a phone number that belongs to the USDA forest service and they're
not super stoked about would-be campers calling them to book.

MapCarta claims to be using OpenStreetMap data (hence why the USDA
forest service contacted us). But clearly this campground comes from a
different source. (Which is just as well because Mapcarta doesn't have
proper attribution.)

(The phone number in question was indeed recorded for a different camp
site in Utah, Monte Cristo Campground, and I've removed it from there.
Doesn't solve the Eagles Campground riddle though.)

Mapcarta doesn't have any point of contact on the site and the whois
doesn't return anything useful either.

Bye
Frederik
