I am an avid camper and I like to keep myself busy outside. It helps keep my mind off work and I don’t have to worry about my bills.
So today, I am sharing my 5 favorite tips to enjoy camping. You might be surprised to know some of these things I did not know before I started camping.
Here we go:
- Pick the Right Location
When planning for camping, you want to be sure you pick a place you will love and enjoy. Some of us might be used to camping by an amazing lake, but you can still enjoy your stay even if you’re on a lake that isn’t that special. I would suggest going to places where you can see the beautiful nature.
- Get Some Gear
When heading to the great outdoors, it’s important to bring a tent and other essential gear. I have found that a good campground has these necessities available. But make sure to check the rules first. Some people may use tents to take advantage of the free spots. Don’t be part of that.
- Bring Everything You Need
Bring everything you need from the clothes you’re wearing to the food you want to eat. Make sure to take your toiletries and toothbrush. Bring along a change of clothes, especially if you plan to hike. I like to pack my sleeping bag too, since it’s easy to sleep without a cover and you can easily put it back into your luggage once you find a spot.
- Pack Properly
Try not to pack everything you own. You’ll feel better about yourself once you get into the great outdoors. Make sure you have some water and a flashlight. You’ll need these if you go hiking. If you’re going camping, make sure you pack clothes that are appropriate for the weather and your activity. Also, I like to bring a spare battery pack, in case I lose my charger.
- Keep It Clean
When camping, try to keep everything clean so you don’t end up getting sick or catching a cold. Always make sure you clean up after yourself. Make sure you keep your campsite clean, as it’s a good way to make the experience better. This includes your clothes and shoes and the ground you’re walking on. Don’t use your dirty shoes to wipe up the water from your drinking glass.
