Some camping tips
Arrive at the campground a few hours before sundown to allow enough daylight to choose a campsite, inspect the area and set up camp, When selecting a campsite, be on the lookout for trees with dead branches that could fall. Avoid gullies that could flood in heavy rain and areas that could become particularly muddy. Attempt to find a site that has trees or shrubbery to the north and west to provide shelter against the wind. Look for level sites with ample room. Inspect the area carefully for poison ivy, bee's nests or other hazards. Clear away any rocks, branches or other debris to prevent accidents. Be extremely careful with the campfire, if permitted. The fire should be built in a spot where it cannot spread. From the time a fire is lit until it is put out, someone should always watch it with water nearby in case of an emergency. When the fire is no longer needed it should be put out completely with water and soil until the ashes are cool enough to touch with a bare hand.
