Camping comes with a code. First, follow Leave No Trace principles — pack out all trash, don’t disturb wildlife, and stay on marked trails. Respect quiet hours and keep your noise level down, especially at night.
Be courteous at shared spaces like bathrooms or dishwashing stations. Never cut through someone else’s campsite, and keep dogs leashed and under control.
Safety-wise, always know where the nearest help is. Let someone know your plans, and bring a paper map just in case. Don’t store food in your tent — use a bear box or hang it from a tree if needed. And always check the weather and local alerts before heading out.
