While some may prefer sheltered idylls by the edge of a gently flowing river, others may opt for wild and savage arenas.
There are many different concerns and safety precautions that need to be taken when you and your family are near a campfire.
Check everyone regularly for ticks and other insects. Ticks can cause Lyme disease, among other infections.
Many campers don’t go prepared for temperature changes. At night temperatures can drop, and camping will be a better experience if you are prepared for it.
If possible, do not put your tent directly under a tree. Limbs have fallen in the middle of the night and injured dozing campers.
RVs today are very well equipped with all of the necessary safety devices (smoke detectors, CO monitors, fire extinguishers) and have better towing and driving equipment.
