If you see your camp marker, then gather your strength and just charge a straight line directly to your camp. It might be valuable to carry a grappling hook to get over some of the RVs.

Just downloaded the first pass of the BRC map for my Garmin GPS. In theory I should be able to find my way back to camp, via streets, providing I'm sober enough to remember I have a GPS in my bag :D
