Campsite Tips


Home ] Up ]

        Campsite Selection:

  • Locate your site at least 100 feet away from trails & water sources.  Select a site with adequate
    drainage (don't dig trenches around your tent).
  • In general, select a site which has already been used to eliminate further expansion of camping impact.
  • When possible, position your tent so it blends with the environment.
  • Protect live trees & brush & avoid areas with delicate plants.
  • Return your camp to its natural condition before you leave.

    Sanitation:
  • Dispose of human waste by selecting a screened spot at least 100 feet away from water sources,
    campsites, & trails. Dig a small hole 3 to 4 inches deep & fill the hole with soil after use. Burn, bury or
    pack out toilet paper.
  • Wash dishes with hot, soapless water as much as possible. Dispose of "gray" water at least 100 feet from
    water sources.
  • Pack out all trash, including aluminum foil & organics.
  • Dispose of fish entrails by burying.
