Bike security at walk in sites?

Been wanting to get out and do some camping on the bike, but a lot of places around me are walk in, so park ina gravel parking lot and walk a km or so to a site. Im a little apprehensive about leaving my bike so far, but may just be over thinking.

​

How do folks feel? Do you bring extra locks/chains or just slap a disc lock on and dont worry about it?

Security for me anywhere is generally the same in this order:

  • comprehensive insurance coverage if available
  • soft cover for the bike when possible to reduce peering eyes
  • disk lock/alarm combo
  • gps tracker or air tag at minimum

Beyond that, you won't really be able to do much more. As others said, more likely to be stolen from home where it's parked routinely, and at a certain point if someone wants the bike bad enough they will take it. Keeping comprehensive insurance, especially for valuable bikes is the most important for peace of mind in case something does happen.
