How to Choose a Camp Site in a Heavily Used Area

Video Transcript

" Hi, this is Bruce Lessels from Zoar Outdoor on behalf of expertvillage.com, talking about low impact camping methods. So when you’re camping in an area that gets used a lot you want to try to restrict your camping activity to the areas that have already been designated as campsites. In this case you have the campsite that’s designated as site 5, you have kind of nice clearly laid out area that’s available for camping and you want to keep your camping activities right within this area and not go outside them. The idea is to limit the impact to certain areas and not allow the impacts to get too far out beyond those and therefore start to really ruin the area around it. Again, other people want to use this site, other people want to enjoy the same experience you got to enjoy and so in more heavily used areas try to find areas that are already impacted and that are already used for camping and try to camp in those areas respectfully and use them in a good way and hopefully when you come back they’ll be available for you to use the next time."
