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.
