CAMP ETIQUETTE

 

 

A few common sense tips for harmonious camp-sites

RUBBISH

• All rubbish must be taken home with you.
• Plastic and paper should not be burned.
• Cans that could become smelly can be scorched in the fire, cooled, and taken home.
• Check with other campers before burning food scraps, as some odours may offend.

TOILETS

• Pit toilets should have the lid kept closed.
• Dig holes away from watercourses and at least 20cm deep.
• Burn your toilet paper if conditions allow.

NOISE

• Most people go camping to enjoy the tranquility of the outdoors.
• Check with your companions before making noise, this includes music, chainsaws, generators, early start-ups for diesel engines.
• Other suggested sources of aural pollution – snoring, noisy kids and whinging spouses – are probably a little more difficult to control.

And most important for happy camping – tolerance and a fair go for all.
