A camper is clean.  See [Link=http://www.lnt.org/]Leave No Trace[/link] for more info.
 
 A camper is considerate.  Real campers don t play loud music, make noise long after quiet hours, cut through other s sites, leave trash in the fire ring, etc.
 
 A camper is adaptable!  It takes some adaptability to go from a 4-bedroom 3-1/2 bath house with full kitchen and 1/2 acre of land to a 1 bedroom, 1/2 bath (or 0 bath) house with fireplace and 1/15 acre of land, possibly even sharing a bathroom and showers with total strangers.
 
 A camper can make do.  When the top-level gizmo breaks, a camper finds a way to make do with the broken gizmo (or no gizmo at all) when a non-camper would have to get it fixed immediately.
 
 Just a few.

Hi All,
 
 I ran across this a long time ago and have kept a copy of it to live by while we are camping.
 
 I d like to pass it along for everyone.
 
 Campers  Code of Ethics
 
 1. Care - We will care how we camp by being considerate of others in our campground manner.
 
 2. Caution - We will use caution in the use of camping equipment both on the road and at the campsite. We will handle fire and inflammable fuels so as not to endanger others or ourselves. We will improve our camping skills, knowing the right way is the safest way.
 
 3. Courtesy - We will practice politeness because it is the soothing oil which enhances the camping experience. We will respect the privacy of others, control our children, leash and pick up after our dogs. We are never so sensitive to others as when camping - that is why courtesy is so important.
 
 4. Cleanliness - We will be clean in all our camping habits and teach our children the importance of cleanliness. We will pick up litter no matter who left it and be proud of the campsites we leave behind.
 
 5. Cooperation - We will observe the letter and spirit of camping regulations and rules established to protect our enjoyment of the outdoors. Since camping at its best is sharing, we will work cooperatively with others to make it better for everyone.
 
 6. Conservation - We will protect the environment in which we enjoy camping and help those whose job it is to guard and wisely manage our country s natural resources. We will endeavor to leave a better outdoors for those who follow us.
 
 7. Common Sense - We will apply common sense to every situation, knowing that reason, understanding and humor make camping better for ourselves and others.
 
 We will practice the 7 C s Campers  Code of Ethics as the basic rules of more pleasant outdoor living.
