- | ====== Camping etiquette ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Not everyone has camped before, and that's ok. Here are some guidelines to keep from annoying others | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== campsites ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * walk around (not through) campsites | ||
- | * wandering into a campsite and surprising the camper is an excellent way to get shot. If you can see them call out in a friendly manner, make a friendly gesture, etc. | ||
- | * set up camp in a campsite, not in the middle of a path or roadway | ||
- | * do not attempt to block access to public campsites, paths, or roads | ||
- | * leaving a tent to save a place while you run to town is ok; leaving a tent so you'll have the space next weekend is not ok | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== light ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * turn off exterior RV porch lights and similar light sources if you aren't actively using them | ||
- | * depending on the moon, you may not actually need a flashlight to get around in the dark | ||
- | * if you do use a flashlight keep it on the ground and out of peoples' | ||
- | * turn off your vehicle lights asap | ||
- | * there is little to gain from using a flashlight as you sit around a campfire | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== noise ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * generator noise is widely despised -- restrict their use to daytime hours | ||
- | * wear headphones instead of blasting music | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== campfires ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * follow local regulations about making firewood gathering and fire creation | ||
