I stop at campsites all the time just to stretch my legs and see how they are doing. There have been times when a site was so inviting, with lots of good wood or something else I liked, that I'll just stay there and plan on doing a longer day tomorrow.

There's been times that sites I planned on staying at weren't up to par so I'll probably move on if that's reasonable.

Here's a question that's never been asked before as far as I know.

This pile of bear scat was at the edge of a campsite, 10 or so feet away from the best tent spot. It wasn't steaming fresh, maybe one hot, breezy, sunny day old? I don't know. Question is, in your decision making process on campsite selection, would you consider this pile of scat a plus or minus? Would you keep it in mind if you took the same route in the future?
