Camping on Friday the 13th? What’s the worst that could happen? Nah. You got this. Camping can be “in-tents,” but there are lots of ways you can be prepared and plan ahead for a safe and memorable experience. Always remember to: ⛺️ Plan for your park visit—careful planning will prevent many safety issues. ⛺️ Research and learn about possible risks with the park environment and your camping trip before you go. ⛺️ Don't poke things with sticks. ⛺️ Seek and listen to the information, advice, and ALL warnings provided by park staff. ⛺️ Know your physical and mental limits. ⛺️ Wear comfortable shoes. ⛺️ If you’re running in the woods and trip, get back up. ⛺️ Avoid cornfields. But I really like corn? ⛺️ Use good judgment and avoid reading out loud from old books in order to summon otherworldly forces. Keep it to yourself. Manners. ⛺️ Check the weather forecast. ⛺️ If you're in the woods and see someone wearing a hockey mask, resist the urge to ask them to explain the offsides rule. ⛺️ Be realistic and always stay within your swimming abilities. ⛺️ Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Unless its a doll asking if you wanna play. ⛺️ Have fun! Image: Two tents under tall pines, along a sandy beach with a swimming area and dock at @lake.roosevelt.nps.
