Locate your tent or trailer upwind of your intended campfire so smoke doesn't blow toward and fill your sleeping quarters. #campingtips

Camp where the morning sun will strike your tent or trailer. It makes those chilly mornings a bit warmer. #campingtips

Never make camp (tent/trailer) in a natural watercourse. A rainstorm, even miles away, can turn your camp into a raging river. #campingtips

Stake down your tent. Minor storms are more than capable of blowing away a tent that isn't secured. #campingtips

Don't become a lighting rod! Avoid parking or camping under a lone tree, especially at high elevations. #campingtips

Look up! Investigate what is over head. Falling rocks, pinecones and dead tree branches can hurt and or kill. #campingtips
