Tips for Safe and Fun Campsite Decorating
Before you start decorating, keep these quick tips in mind to ensure everything is safe and campsite-friendly:
- Use battery-operated or solar lights for safety—no open flames or extension cords across walkways.
- Secure decorations with zip ties, tent stakes, or twine to prevent wind damage.
- Choose weather-resistant materials and avoid anything fragile or easily damaged.
- Be mindful of your neighbors—don’t block pathways or encroach on nearby campsites.
