Showing up early can be a good etiquette move in a number of situations, but not when it comes to arriving at your campsite.
In a busy campsite, it may be polite to pitch your tent beyond the designated area to allow everyone extra room and solitude.
Hiking is a very popular (and fun!) activity to do while camping, and if you're at a beloved state or national park, odds are that the trails will be crowded.
Many campgrounds and campsites, including some campsites in National Parks, allow pets, which can be awesome bonding for you and your pup.
If you live in bear land, keeping food out can draw birds, squirrels, raccoons, bugs, and other pests, as well as fatal guests.
If you're outdoors, odds are that mosquitos, ticks and other bugs will be around, particularly if it's summer and you're near a swampy area.
It's hard to chop down a tree, so some sincere campers think they're helping by cutting down tiny trees and branches for firewood.
Because transporting firewood from one place to another also potentially transports any fungi, bacteria and highly invasive species that might be living on that wood.
