While it is true that mosquitoes are an enormous bother when camping, here are a few points to help keep them under control.
1. going in and out of your tent or trailer regular just lets them in - they attach themselves to your clothes and come in on your person
Try to limit opening and closing the tent and trailer doors at night.
2. sleeping near a standing body of water will produce mosquitoes
Do not choose a campsite near swamps or small bodies of water that are or can easily become stagnant.
3. having toys like rubber tires for swings and other items that collect water on your campsite only encourages the reproduction of mosquitoes
Empty all basins, toys, crevices and anything that can collect water around your campsite. Even if mosquitoes are a given, don't help them to reproduce.
