Camping Information

Wildlife Exploration: Painted Turtle

Next time you’re camping, fishing or boating, take time to check out the wonders of wildlife and nature.

When you’re on or near fresh water, keep an eye out for painted turtles. With their abundance across the country and easy-to-identify distinctive markings, you may just be lucky enough to spot one of these water turtles!

Planning A Safe Campsite

When you go camping, you expect to escape the hustle, bustle and worries of everyday living. You can, however, unexpectedly find yourself at the mercy of Ma Nature. What happens after you possibly encounter a strong storm, snake, spider, sharp rock or other "danger" depends often on what you did prior to that encounter. It pays to be prepared and to plan ahead.
