Camping Safety and Etiquette

Security

Camping is an excellent method to take pleasure in the outdoors and make sure your journey is safe.

  • Keep watch on kids! You are responsible for the security of your children. Ensure you know where your kids are and what they are doing.
  • Know the natural environments. There may be plants with thorns or stickers.
  • You are a visitor in wildlife’s home. Keep a safe range from wild animals. Although they may look cute, they are wild and can carry illness.
  • Never ever feed the wildlife! Feeding wildlife can encourage bad habits by animals and is against park guidelines.
  • Be careful with fire. Never ever leave a fire ignored and be sure your campfire is out when you break camp.
  • Axes, knives and saws work tools, but make certain you understand how to properly use them.

Rules

Courteous habits makes camping more fun for everyone.

  • Consider your fellow campers. Keep sound levels down, particularly in the evening.
  • Leave the area clean. Get your garbage and make sure to examine the area for products you might have forgotten.
  • Keep food out of the reach of animals. Put food items away after usage. Raccoons and other animals will make the most of your carelessness.
  • Dispose of wastewater appropriately. Disposing gray water can contaminate waterways and draw in undesirable bugs.
  • Camp in designated camping areas. Use a tent pad if provided and keep lorries on the pavement.
  • Leave your camping area cleaner than you discovered it.
