"Southern Raft Supply is dedicated to promoting the principles of Leave No Trace camping on the French Broad River. The reason we feel strongly about this is because we want everyone...to have a positive experience...We don't want to come around a bend and see heaps of trash.

The Situation: Conscious Camping
After backpacking all day, you finally reach the valley where you plan to camp. You have three options: 1) A well impacted site right next to the lake's edge and 200 feet from the trail. 2) In the pristine alpine meadow 200 feet from the water and the trail. 3) A well impacted site 15 feet from the trail and 200 feet from the water.
