a clean
campground!
Whether you are primitive camping or RVing, a little effort and
consideration for others is all that is needed to ensure that the next
camper will enjoy their experience as much as you did.
Leave no trace
It’s all about respect, for the environment and for others. If
campers would just leave their campsites clean the way they found them, or a little better, then we will all
be doing our share to promote safe, clean camping.
Carry in Carry out
Your mom is not there to pick up after you, so, if
you take it in with you, take it out as well. If you are a backcountry camper, this is particularly important
because there are no dumpsters in the backcountry.
Gray water
Would you drink the dirty dish water that you just washed your pans in? Not
even on a dare! So why should anyone else have to? Be sure to dump gray water away from any fresh
water sources and use biodegradable soap.
A s h e s f ro m t h e g r i l l
Please don’t dump your ashes on the ground.
Either dump them in the campfire ring, or dump them in a bag and put the bag in the campground
dumpster. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires!
L aun dries, restrooms and sh o w e r s Everyone likes
a clean restroom. To guarantee this, please just clean up after yourself. If you are in the backwoods, take
appropriate measures to cover human waste. Simple measures will provide great pleasures!
Fish cleaning stations
Think of them as a place
where you can show your friends that the big one did not get away. They are safe and
prevent fish eyes from rolling around the campground.
Dumpsters
Be sure to take along some plastic garbage bags to collect
trash. The last thing you should do before leaving the campground is to make one
more round and pick up any trash and put it in the dumpster. Please make sure the
dumpsters are closed so that bears and raccoons cannot rummage through them.
Above all, remember: WE ALL BENEFIT WHEN NO ONE KNOWS WE WERE THERE.
