The ABC's of camping




Always pack your patience
Be prepared for emergencies
Count the stars
Dump your trash in the trash bin; never leave your site with litter
Explore your surroundings
Fish in a creek, river or lake
Grill up a new recipe
Hike a trail
Invest in a good tent
Jump into the water to stay cool during the hot summer
Know basic first aid for those unforeseen accidents
Listen to the sounds of nature for 10 uninterrupted minutes
Make new friends with camping neighbors you come across

Never approach wildlife you might encounter. Remember, you are on their turf
Organize a scavenger hunt in your immediate area (but don’t get lost)
Play board or card games with friends and family
Quiet time to relax and revel in the stillness
Read a book or magazine
Share your stories online so others can learn what to expect
Tell others where you are going and when you are expected to return
Unplug from technology and enjoy nature, even if it’s just for a few hours
Verify with park staff equipment allowed onto the site
Wear comfortable and appropriate clothes and shoes
(e)Xemplify good manners
You can learn more about nature and the history of the area you visit
Zzzzzzz! Close your eyes and rest peacefully under the stars
