Choosing A Campground

Many a campground will be primitive and many are rustic in nature.  Most will be a small clearing amongst the trees.  They usually offer pit rest rooms or flush amenities.  Be sure you do bring good drinking water as some of the site offer water only for washing up in or to be used as cooking but not for drinking

Some camp sites will have a table and a fire pit.  Always be very careful when using the fire pits.  If there is a fire ban in place you will not be able to have a open camp fire. Remember the barbecue you packed?  Now is a good time to use it.

Choosing a Campground

Most of us have family or friends that camp ask them for a good spot where they go camping.  Maybe someone at work has a favorite spot and will let you in on its location.

• Never throw wash water on the shrubs or trees
• Never feed the little animals for later on at night the bigger ones show up
• Never store you food in you tent
• Don’t litter use the trash bins located in the campgrounds
• If fires are allowed do not let them get to big or out of control
• Never leave the kids alone at the campfire
• Do not remove fire wood from the area you are in to another camp ground down the road.
• Do not cut any wood for the fire pits and do not cut down branches for wiener sticks
• Treat the campsite like it is you grand parents this is with respect
• All dogs on a leash
• No loud music or screaming after 7.pm
• Do not sit in your car flashing the headlights at you fellow campers.

Upon arrival at the campsite do not forget to check in with the rangers or attendant.  Verify the length of your stay and your camp site number. Get a campground map that shows all amenities and trails as well as the site numbers.  If no map is available get directions to your site.  On the way to your site look for the water taps and rest rooms.

Always keep all food stuff out of the tent for you may not like the local wildlife tearing into the tent looking for food.  Use the trash bin supplied by the campsite operators.

If there is no shade in your camp site you can use a tarp to make a shade shelter.  This will also keep the rain off you.  Never tie a line to a tree use the clamps to hold the ends of the rope and clamp the tarp to the rope.

Time to play now that you have the camp set up relax and enjoy you outdoor adventure!
