Simple camping mistake that will make everyone else at the resort hate you
TRAVEL experts have revealed the one simple mistake that will make everyone else at the resort hate you.
For those outdoor enthusiasts who are keen to crack out tents in the middle of this summer season, this tip could help you have a delightful camping experience.
A travel enthusiast on Reddit recently asked for the most common camping etiquette.
And much like any other subreddit, experts started to food in comments sharing their number one tip.
The most popular response came out to be respecting other people’s privacy.
One expert said: “Don’t walk through other campsites. Stick to your own property or the common areas while camping.”
Travellers have been urged to stay in their own campsites and not walk around other people’s tents as this could seriously invade their privacy.
Most travellers go out camping to relax and unwind, snooping around their tents could make them really hate you.
It is best to keep to your own tents – and mark clear boundaries around to avoid confusion.
Another fire way to annoy other happy campers is by making too much noise at unsociable times on the site.
A camping expert advised: “Being respectful of other people and noise goes without saying, and parents should be aware of their children’s noise levels more between 7pm to 8pm.”
Etiquette adviser Liz Wyse explained exactly how Brits should behave on their next caravan or camping trip.

Three camping tips from an expert
David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly.
When visiting any campsite this summer it’s important to make sure you’re not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday.
Check your tent
David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you’re due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts.
He told Sun Online Travel: “You’d be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents.”
Test the ground
Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider.
One of those should be the condition of the ground you’re putting your tent on top of, according to David.
He said: “Once you’ve found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough.”
Don’t nap in your tent
It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly if it’s done at the wrong time of the day.
David explained: “If the sun’s shining and it’s hot inside your tent – don’t do it!
“One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke.”
Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well-ventilated.
