1. Littering
A campsite is a place in the wilderness where travellers spend quality time close to nature. They are free from the daily routine. Littering here can spoil the beauty of the campsite and leave it dirty. Other people coming here might lose out on the actual experience of wilderness and being close to Mother Nature as a result.

Breaking glass bottles at a campsite can be very fatal. This is because glass cannot be recycled. Campers move across the camp barefoot, the glass might injure them. Dispose of your waste cautiously at a campsite.

Plastic always does damage to the environment and is not degradable. Never leave plastic behind in the tents nor at the campsite property. Plastics don’t leave the environment easily, it will stay at the campsite forever if it is not attended to.

If you are going for a riverside camping experience, make sure you are not having a bath by the river. Firstly, it’s not hygienic and secondly, you might just risk your life by the river stream as the flow is unpredictable.
5. Loud music in the tents
Playing loud music in the tents can actually hamper the peaceful vibe. Make sure you are not playing loud music around as you will end up disturbing the sleep of other campers.
6. Leaving the tent zip open
Leaving the tent zip open once you leave or enter can be a tricky call. A campsite is accompanied with a lot of bugs, insects and flies. So zipping and unzipping of the tent is the most crucial aspect of camping.

Camping essentials are a must when you are visiting a campsite. A few of the essentials include headlamp, hiking shoes, water bottle, 40L backpack, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, a power bank and a bug killer. Make sure you carry these to have a memorable time at the campsite.

Tents are usually the place where you will be crashing. Smoking can set the tent on fire. While drinking and eating can mess up the tents, leave the smell of food and can stains your pillow and bedding too.
