Safety first! Bring a first-aid kit, a flashlight with extra batteries, and a map of the area. Be aware of the campfire regulations and always put out your campfire completely before leaving.

Plan your travel to avoid the Labor Day weekend traffic rush. Consider leaving a day earlier or later to steer clear of congested roads. It’ll make your journey to and from the campsite more enjoyable.

5. Keep it Simple

Opt for easy-to-cook meals and snacks. Preparing foil packet meals or skewers for the campfire can be fun and delicious. Remember to bring reusable utensils and containers to minimize waste.

Put away your devices and fully embrace the outdoors. Take hikes, enjoy the wildlife, and stargaze at night. It’s a great opportunity to disconnect and unwind.

7. Leave No Trace

Respect the environment and fellow campers by following Leave No Trace principles. Clean up, avoid disturbing wildlife, and stay on designated trails.

8. Stay Hydrated

It’s easy to forget to drink enough water in the great outdoors. Keep a reusable water bottle handy and stay hydrated throughout your trip.

9. Entertainment

Pack some fun games or a deck of cards for downtime entertainment around the campfire. It’s a great way to bond with friends and family.
