ar camping in Baxter State Park is a tradition for my family. Over the years, we’ve learned a thing or two about what works:
• Campsites vary greatly; do your research.
• Bring a map.
• Make a loose itinerary.
• Learn from someone who has experience.
• Prepare meals as much as you can ahead of time.
• Don’t be afraid to sleep comfortably.
• Have a rainy day plan.
• Buy firewood from a local source.
• Know your water situation and plan accordingly.
• Don’t leave food or fragrant items unattended.
• Leave no trace.
