How do you secure your bikes while camping?
Our family just upgraded from Walmart bikes to new better quality bikes that we will take camping. I am a little concerned about the bikes getting stolen from the campsite, this has happened to peopl...

Our boys bikes are Toys R Us specials while they are still growing like crazy, but we have a set of nicer mtbs that I will lock up.
This may sound crazy, but I just use a 15' dog tie out cable (for a smaller dog- cut the snap hook off) to prevent someone taking a joy ride on the bikes. I figure if they really want them as mentioned, they will get them. I would hope if someone was seen carrying a set of bolt cutters through the campground that others would contact the park/ police.
That cable with a standard master lock has worked for years even on Mackinac Island where bike theft has happened in the past (not ours luckily). Not sure about now as we haven't been over to the island in a few years.
