Toiletries
When it comes to toiletries, it can be easy to overpack and bring far too many items that you probably won’t need throughout your camping trip. Try to focus on the essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, medications and suncream.
If you have any extra space in your bag after you’ve packed everything you need, then you can consider bringing your makeup and a hand mirror to apply it. There’s no crime in wanting to continue looking good while camping!
Home comforts
For some, staying away from home can be difficult, which is why you may consider bringing some home comforts with you. This can help you feel more settled and comfortable while camping, ensuring you have the best time possible. Some home comforts you may consider bringing include:
- Your favourite pillow
- A tablet with your favourite shows downloaded onto it
- A portable shower
- A bottle of your favourite wine
Entertainment
You’ll likely have plenty of downtime while camping, which means you’ll need to find ways to keep entertained at all times. Some great things you can do to pass the time include going on a run, playing the best camping games or roasting marshmallows over a fire. Whichever you choose is sure to offer a fun time and bring the group a little closer too.
