Hi there, fellow adventurers! In this episode of the Girl Camper Podcast, we delve into the challenges of camping etiquette that many of us face at campgrounds. Do you have good camping manners? Let’s unravel the frequent debates we have on our podcast ‘Are You a Crappy Camper?’ focusing on communal water spigots and campsite boundaries.

Campsites often provide communal water spigots, meant for collective use by campers. But what’s the appropriate use for these water sources? There are instances where campers wash dishes directly at the faucet, which can leave behind debris and create unnecessary puddles. Our recommendation? Grab a bucket of water, bring it back to your site, and do the cleaning there. Many of our listeners agree that maintaining a clean, respectful space is key to peaceful camping.

Another popular issue is when people cut through campsites. A smaller camper doesn’t give permission for others to take a shortcut through your rented area. Campsite owners suggest tactfully reminding wanderers of proper camping manners. Placing solar lights or temporary fences can subtly signify boundary limits. Remember, it’s about respecting others’ space, much like you would in a neighborhood.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new, it’s integral to acknowledge campground etiquette. Whether deciding the best way to handle a disruptive camper or teaching newcomers about the community spigot, these unwritten rules help maintain harmony in the camping community.
