One of the most important things to remember when you and your family go on a camping trip is your manners.

Camping manners are more than just “please and thank you. ” Having camping manners is a combination of following the rules of the specific campground and also respecting the privacy of any other visitors who share the campground with you.

Regardless of where you are staying, first impressions are the most important. If you arrive at a camp site during the evening, keep in mind that it is often very rude to have music blaring or headlights blazing in the eyes of your fellow campers. If arriving late at night, without jeopardizing anyone’s safety, dim the lights a little to make things easier on your neighbors.
