Camping sites are basically designated areas where camping is allowed. Generally, people can not just pitch camp anywhere, as there are certain concerns with regards maintaining the area one wants to pitch camp in. In a nutshell, camping sites are simply approved areas for camping, where harm to the environment couldn’t exactly affect the forest all in all.

Generally, though camping sites are approved areas for camping, there are certain rules which campers have to abide with, regardless of what reason they may have against doing so. Keeping the camping site clean would be one of the most common of these rules.

Here are some points in keeping camping sites clean. Keeping one’s camp site clean wouldn’t only benefit the campers, but would benefit Mother Nature herself, as well.

Picking up the Trash

Just like any other way of cleaning any other venue, picking up the trash is the most direct approach in keeping camping sites clean. That candy wrapper there, that used can of beans on the other side, one could maintain the cleanliness of one’s camp site by simply just picking up the trash.

A sense of initiative backing up the whole picking up the trash, would greatly make cleaning camping sites a simple task, one which won’t even feel like work at all. One philosophy many campers instill in themselves and put into practice is “when cleaning the camp site, make it cleaner than when you first pitched camp”.

Always leave camping sites cleaner than when you first arrived in them.

The Value of Trash Bags

Not only are trash bags ideal bags for storing trash in a camping excursion, trash bags could also effectively substitute for other camping equipment types. Utilizing trash bags as the garbage bag for campers truly helps in keeping camping sites clean, giving campers a designated spot for throwing their garbage in.

Aside from the intended purpose of trash bags, these could also be used as emergency tarps, as rope, as tent patches, as emergency bandages and a stuff sacks.

 Bottom line, utilizing trash bags not only helps keep camping sites clean, but gives campers an emergency proxy should certain camping equipment malfunction in the course of the camping excursion.

These two points aren’t exactly complicated things which only rocket scientists could figure out. All in all, presence of mind would be one’s best tool in keeping camping sites clean, making the whole camping experience happy for campers and the environment as well.
