1. Camp on the campsite which you have rented. Don't squat on a campsite for which you did not pay. Arrive on time and leave on time.
2. Leave the campsite better than you found it. Defacing the campsite or leaving it trashed is ugly behavior.
3. Dispose of trash properly. Do not stuff trash into the fire pit. Do not leave trash on the site.
4. Keep public water public. Pitching tents around the public water spigot is rude. So is running a water hose from a public spigot to your RV. If you want a private water supply, rent a campsite with one.
5. Treat someone else's campsite like you would treat someone else's home. Don't walk through their site uninvited. Ask permission before entering another campsite.
6. Treat rangers, hosts, and volunteers with great respect. These individuals are a camper's greatest resource.
7. Do not allow your smoke alarm to beep through out the evening, night, and early morning. If campfire smoke is blowing into your RV or trailer, either close the door, or power off the smoke detector. No one likes a false alarm when they are on a vacation, especially repeatedly.
8. Share the camp road. Drive like it is your kids you are meeting on their bikes...chances are it is. If you drive slowly, and smile, and wave, you are guaranteed to make a new friend. Campers are generally the neighborly kind, and enjoy kindred spirits. However, they can be defensive toward rudeness.
