1) Roughly a quarter mile separation between each campsite to enhance privacy, allow people to make noise or listen to music into the night, without disturbing other parties.

2) A flat place to park and set up camp, far enough off the road to provide some privacy buffer and ensure safety – i.e. not having people putting up tents right next to the truck trail where cars could be passing at any moment.

3) Provides wild forest experience, with tall and old growth or nearly old growth trees around the site.

4) Not aggressive regulation of campsites, minimal patrolling by government bureaucrats.

5) Provides a relatively flat and open place to camp with some gravel or elevation so it’s not too muddy even after use.

6) A clean site without a lot of litter – people should be encouraged to burn their burnable garbage, and make sure to pack out anything that can’t be burned. Fireplaces and firepits are much more desirable then stone rings.

7) Outhouses help enhance sanitary conditions at campsites, especially well used ones. Too often campsites have litter in the form of toilet paper, and to a lesser extent human waste, from it getting dug up by animals.

8) Picnic tables are nice to have but not essential. Bring your own table!
