Cabin Camping in Arizona
August 26, 2017Tasty Fall Pumpkin Recipes for Camping Treats
September 9, 2017Being a good camping neighbor is simple, really, and most people are very thoughtful when they are sharing camping space with others. There are a few things you can focus on to be a camper that other campers want to be around.
Keep it Clean – Do a regular sweep of your campsite and check for scraps of paper, make sure there isn’t any food left out to draw the attention of animals, and pick up any loose trash that has escaped the bin. Leave your campsite as you found it just the way you’d appreciate other campers leaving it for you.
Arrive Early – Give yourself extra time to arrive and set up your campsite before nightfall. It’s much easier to set up in daylight and no one wants to make a late night run to the store for missing tent stakes or other things needed before you can tuck in for the night. You also won’t have to disrupt your neighbors with setting up at night.
Walk Around Your Neighbor’s Campsite – It may seem like a practical shortcut to walk across instead of around your neighbor’s campsite but most campers don’t appreciate it. It’s best to go around the campsite and not cut across.
Use Your Quiet Voices After 10:00 – It’s surprising how far sound can travel in the night air. Once the campground begins to settle down for the night it is neighborly to keep your voices low if you remain around the campfire.
Say Hello – Campers are friendly people and they enjoy getting to know other campers in the area. It’s fun to find out where people are from and learn a little about them. Go ahead and introduce yourself when you’re making your way around the campground. Say hello in the laundromat or as you’re shopping in the campground store. You never know when you’ll meet someone you can become friends with and share some fun camping time with.
