A free, printable one-page tool for solo remote campers.

You arrive at dusk. You see three possible spots. Which one do you pick?

The Campsite Matrix gives you a simple scoring system:

• 5 criteria — ground, slope, water, wind, noise

• 3 ratings — Red (walk away), Amber (only if nothing better), Green (pitch here)

• One clear answer in under 2 minutes

Print it. Laminate it. Keep it in your vehicle. Use it before you unload a single thing.

This is a free sample from the full ebook "Remote Solo Campers Sleeping Better Before Dark" — which covers terrain reading, the 5-Point Dusk Scan, drainage & wind analysis, the Quiet Camp Check, and a complete arrival sequence.
