Don’t Pitch Up in the First Spot You Find

Choosing the location of your tent is one of the most important things you’ll do when you arrive at your site, so don’t just pitch up at the first spot you find. Think about the location, the coverage, the distance to facilities and all of that stuff. It’ll impact you, later on, so choose carefully.

Be Prepared for the Night Time Cold

No matter where you’re camping, it’s likely to get cold during the night. Even in warm locations, the temperature can drop dramatically, and that would leave you vulnerable to the cold. So make sure that you’re prepared for what the cold nights will throw at you. Blankets are a must have.

Find a Tent That’s Bigger Than You Think You’ll Need

No one has ever thought to themselves: “This tent is too big, we have too much space!” No that would be ridiculous, but people do often regret taking a tent that’s too small. If you’re going on a camping trip with one other person, a two-person tent probably won’t be big enough for you because there’ll be room for nothing but your two bodies. So opt for a bigger tent instead.

Take a New Camping Stove

If you have an old stove for cooking on while you’re camping, you will make your life so much harder than it needs to be. The first reported cases of gas leaking from these are decades old, so if you’re using an out of date stove, you could also put yourself at risk. It’s much safer, quicker and easier to camp with a proper stove that’s new and up to date.

Use Solar Lights Outside Your Tent

Getting up in the night to relieve yourself is a necessary evil, and it’s not always easy when you’re camping in a tent. That’s why you should try to invest in solar lights that you can leave outside your tent. They’ll power the battery during the day so that they can light up once it goes dark. You’ll then be able to see where you’re going whenever you get up in the night.

Camping doesn’t have to be a drag, and it can actually be a lot of fun if you allow it to be. Just make sure that you make the most of the little tricks and tips listed above because each of them will help you to get more out of your next camping trip. And you’ll avoid the problems and disasters that so often strike when you’re camping.
