Rules for DA Camping

We have all been first time campers at some time.

Maybe you have been camping for some time now but never ventured to DA Social side of camping so far…

Never fear there are a group of friendly people at Meets and Temporary holiday Sites (THS) who are willing to help and welcome you to their events. your first contact at any meet will be the Site Steward.

Although for your safety and comfort and for fellow campers there are a few rules which we all must abide by.
