Don’t let your camping experience be too “in tents”! Whether you’re spending the weekend at the lake, camping in the woods or parking the RV for a family getaway, a little preparation can go a long way. Keep your outdoor adventure safe and enjoyable with these simple camping safety tips:

• Keep campfires at least 15 feet away from tents and gear.
• Never leave a fire unattended — fully extinguish it before leaving or sleeping.
• Watch overhead power lines when setting up tents, campers or fishing poles.
• Use flashlights instead of candles inside tents.
• Keep generators outdoors and away from sleeping areas.
• Charge phones and emergency devices before heading outdoors.
• Check the weather forecast and have a storm safety plan.
• Pack a first-aid kit and plenty of water.
