Raccoon Lake in Indiana – Common Mammals

Raccoons are quite common and feed on crayfish, frogs, insects, and fruits in the wild. They will also go through your garbage and any food left in the open at the Campground in Lake Raccoon Rockville. In urban areas, raccoons are known to make dens in attics and enjoy good meals from going through everyone’s garbage. We never put our garbage out at night for this simple reason. Raccoons will get into it and make a huge mess on the street for us to clean up the next morning.  The same is true for your garbage and your food around the campsite at night.

Keep it Clean

Always ensure that your campground is kept clean and all food is stored away properly out of harm’s way while staying at the Campground in Lake Raccoon Rockville. We cannot emphasize this last point enough. If you leave your food out or in a place where it is tempting for a raccoon, they will find it and take it. They are excellent at opening all sorts of doors and locks. They will get into your cooler without any problems.

This guy in the picture got caught with his paw in the cookie jar so to speak. The campers may have chased him away this time. However, unless they do something about the food left out they are sure to come back later in the evening. They will ruin your food that may have been left out.
