Camping Etiquette

A camping holiday is made even more fun by those around you, the last thing you want to do is spend your holiday arguing with your neighbours over camp spots, noise or rubbish. By considering the following suggestions you are likely to make your holiday more enjoyable for both yourself and others at the camping ground.

* Be friendly but not intrusive to your neighbours, they are bound to respond positively

* Be sure to check with the camp ground operators before using wood that was found on the property

* Be sure to pick up all your pet's droppings

* Be sure to use the appropriate toilet amenities

* Consult the camp ground rules before arriving at your destination

* Dispose of any rubbish in the appropriate bins

* Don't clean dishes or fish in streams or lake

* Don't drop your cigarette butts anywhere but the appropriate bin

* Ensure that you take everything that you bring to the campsite when you leave

* If it doesn't burn don't put it in the fire pit

* Never set up camp too close to another site - without asking their permission. The general, unwritten rule is two car spaces apart.

* Obey the noise curfews at your camping destination, the last thing you want is to be known as is 'that noisy crowd' that's keeping everyone awake

* Respect the local wildlife
