Camping 101 survival or fun??? (Camping hints 3 of 3)

   So you’ve had a great time out in the great out doors and now it is time to get back to reality and enter into the daily routine of work family etc. Before you leave the campground there are some underlying rules you should follow to make sure that the next camping party that has to stay at your site will have as much fun as you just did.

   The first rule for the most part is if you brought it with you – take it with you. Leave the campground site in pristine condition (hopefully the way you found it). Pick up all your trash and dispose of it in the appropriate containers, or pack it up and take it with you. When taking down your tent, make sure all tent stakes are pulled, and not left behind for someone to hurt himself or herself on. The same goes with un-leveling an RV. Don’t leave your leveling wood behind for someone else to deal with.

   Rule two; don’t leave food behind. As much as the wilderness critters hate this rule, never the less it is there to make sure that there is not a big mess for the next camping enthusiast.

   Rule three; make sure your campground fires are extinguished. Yes I know this seems obvious enough, but you would be surprised how many people let this one slip. It is even suggested that you throw some water over the wood you may have left in the fire ring just to be on the safe side.

   Rule four; if you broke something, or if you found something wrong with the campsite, make sure you take the time to report it. The campground will be happy that you made them aware of any problems, or broken items that need to be repaired. If you enjoyed your stay, try to take some time to let the appropriate people know that you had a great time, and you will be back to enjoy the campground again. A little kindness goes along way.
