In my “tip of the week” post last week, I suggested using clothespins to attach lights to the awning of your camper. But not everyone has an awning or wants to attach lights to it so I have another suggestion. String clothesline around your campsite, anchoring it to trees, posts, and your camper; and then attach lights to it using clothespins.

When my family and my sister-in-law’s family camp together we try to get double sites or ones that are next to each other. We then string clothesline between our two campsites and hang lights on it. The kids love having a lighted “path” between the two campsites as they run back and forth during the evening hours, plus there were lots of favorable comments from other campers who thought they looked nice.

It’s fun to take a little time to decorate a campsite and lights serve a two-fold purpose; first of all they look nice and second of all they provide a little low level lighting at night to help you see better and not trip over stones and tree stumps in an unfamiliar campsite.
