Low Impact Camping Techniques

Low impact camping involves practices that minimize environmental disruption and preserve natural areas. Techniques include selecting durable surfaces like existing campsites or bare soil, avoiding damaging plants, and keeping noise levels minimal. Campers should use established fire rings, or use portable stoves instead of open fires, to prevent soil and vegetation damage. Proper waste disposal, such as packing out all trash and biodegradable waste, protects ecosystems. Using eco-friendly gear and limiting camp footprint helps reduce soil erosion and habitat disturbance. Overall, these practices ensure outdoor spaces remain healthy and beautiful for future visitors.
