Turn Key

Hi Dave,

There really is little you can do to keep your site safe from "2-legged" vermon but in all the years we've camped, I don't recall it ever being an issue. I wouldn't leave real valuables laying around but your generel camping equipment should be fine for the most part.

"4-legged" critters are a different issue. Many of our state parks have a large population of racoons and they tend to be opportunistic and very bold. Have had to run them out of camp more then once. Had one take a loaf of bread out of DW's hand one time at Tyler SP. She was walking back from the truck and the little bugger just came up behind her and snatched it. Have had them open coolers and they have been known to enter RV's, given the right lure and opportunity. Make sure your food is secure, best inside a closed vehicle. 'Coons are fun to watch but they are great little thieves, as well.

Hope this helps a bit and let me know if I can help further.

Happy Camping!
