Best practices for camping during COVID-19

November 13, 2020

Checklist

Be sure to pack hygiene supplies such as soap, hand sanitizer, wipes, and toilet paper.
Pay ahead of time for contactless payment.
Be self-sufficient: Downloaded maps to your phone and be prepared to have a contactless trip.
Set up your campsite as far away as possible from other campsites.
If in a public area, wear a face mask and practice physical distancing.
Follow the park rules. Do not go on trails marked ‘closed’ because physical distancing is likely difficult.
If traveling to a campsite with communal amenities, check for enhanced cleaning protocols like regular bathroom checks.
Camp closer to home so you avoid multiple stops at heavily trafficked areas like rest stops.
Consider how your trip will impact the communities you’ll pass through.
