Courtesy is a key word in camping
etiquette. Be respectful of your
environment and the people around you.
Set up your camp in designated areas.
Don't place it to close to your neighbor.
Most campsites allot two car spaces
between areas. You want to have some
room around you to provide for some
privacy and noise control.

You should never clean fish, wash dishes or dump wastewater in any
lakes or streams. Wastewater should be disposed of 100 feet from any
water source. Biodegradable soap is recommended for use and by all
means; make use of the designated bathroom facilities and not the
woods. Recycling containers will be available throughout the camp, as
recycling is highly encouraged. Also never nail or place wire around a
tree, as it will cause damage. Always clean up after yourself and take
home everything that you brought with you. You will be using camp
facilities, so it only makes sense for you to help clean them also. It is in
everyone's interest to have a clean campground. Clean food and scraps
from picnic tables to keep from attracting unwanted pests. Basically, a
rule of thumb would be to leave the campsite even cleaner than you
found it. Camping is work. You must clean up your own mess and
establish a good relationship with your neighbors.

Many campgrounds sell firewood for your use. You should never cut
living trees for this purpose. The rules of the campground will relay how
you can buy firewood or where you can obtain it. So, if you don't bring
your own, follow the guidelines. Often the camp will allow the collection
of dead wood off the ground. When your fire does get ignited, don't
throw anything in it that will not burn. Glass, metal and wire do not
belong here. Only paper and firewood should be allowed. If you happen
to be a smoker, this is the place for your cigarette butts. Never discard
of them on the land.

A pet is considered as part of the family and most campgrounds do allow
pets. If you bring pets, you should keep them contained. They should
not run loose or be left tied to a pole to bark incessantly. Be considerate
and clean up after your pet.

Follow the campground's rules as you would the rules of your town.
Respect your surroundings. By addressing these areas, you, your fellow
campers and your environment will have a pleasant camping experience.

Follow the campground's quiet hours. Voices, radios and other noises
tend to carry, and your neighbor may be an early to bed early to rise
person; so have consideration for this and obey the noise curfew.
There are playgrounds and recreation
areas for rough and loud play. Also,
never cut through your neighbor's
campsite. Since this is their home for
their trip, that could be likened to
walking through their house. Instead
walk around it. Never take other area
picnic tables even if nobody is using
the area. Campers could very well set
up their site there shortly. Be prepared and bring your own extra table or
just improvise. You will have neighbors as you do at home, so be mindful
that these people are also on a vacation and want their own peace and
privacy. Treat them, as you would want them to treat you.
