The Unwritten Rules of the Fire Ring: Camp Courtesy

Campgrounds are shared spaces. A little consideration helps everyone enjoy the quiet, wildlife and fresh air.

Camp courtesy that matters

  • Respect quiet hours: Keep conversations, music and vehicle noise low, especially at night.
  • Aim your headlamp down: Avoid shining bright lights into nearby campsites.
  • Follow firewood rules: Use locally permitted wood; never cut live branches or move potentially pest-carrying firewood across regions.
  • Pack out every scrap: Foil corners, food wrappers and other micro-trash all count.
  • Leave shared areas clean: Fully extinguish permitted fires and leave facilities ready for the next visitor.

Courtesy is part of good outdoor craft. What campground rule do you wish more people followed?
