Prepare for unpredictable weather. Inclement weather can arrive quickly and unexpectedly, so it’s a good idea to get oriented with the campsite when you arrive and keep a portable radio on hand. If expecting a storm, secure tents and tarps with durable rope and shock-absorbing tie-downs to help you withstand strong winds and be prepared to evacuate to a nearby shelter to wait out a really bad storm.
