I will also lock up if I am camping somewhere with relatively easy public access, like a municipal park..
If I am camping and have a lock, I lock to a tent pole. Not the most secure, but I hope that I'll notice someone messing with my tent.
I found a really cheap lightweight combo cable lock that I have in the bottom of my pack for low risk emergencies, and it will probably go camping with me.
