Without the practice of no-trace camping, increasing acreage in Oregon's wild outdoors will be impacted by the heavy passing of human beings. There are tried and true, effective methods for practicing no-trace camping, and the educated, conscientious camper will be sure not to leave a mark on Oregon's wild lands. Whether you're driving your big RV into an area, or are just looking for a place to lay your bedroll, the choice of your camping site can have an impact there. Travel in small groups. In popular areas, try to use sites that have been previously used.
Nothing is uglier than a mountain meadow dotted with fire pits.
Place your camp in areas that are already bare. In backcountry areas, move your camp frequently enough to limit impact. Allow previously used sites to recover. Avoid creating paths in your camp and while hiking. Pack out all trash and garbage.
