Before You Go, Beach Camping Etiquette Reminders
Courteous behavior makes camping more fun for everyone, Texas Parks and Wildlife’s etiquette tips remind us to:
- Think about your fellow campers. Keep noise levels down, especially at night.
- Leave the area clean. Pick up your trash and make sure to check the area for items you may have forgotten.
- Keep food out of the reach of animals. Put food items away after use. Raccoons and other animals will take advantage of your carelessness.
- Dispose of wastewater properly. Dumping gray water can pollute waterways and attract unwanted pests.
- Camp in designated campsites. Use a tent pad if provided and keep vehicles on the pavement.
- Leave your campsite cleaner than you found it.
