Camping Common Sense Tips

To get camping right you need to follow a few common sense tips, these are not hard things to do. They make sense so your camping trip will go a lot smoother and everyone will enjoy it much more and want to go again.

• Camping Equipment – Always test your camping equipment before you leave home. Test all equipment especially tents, campers, caravans and any other RVs. Make sure you know how to setup and pack up, if you have a trailer or RV that may need backing make sure you can. You don’t want to have the entire campground giving you instructions.
• Finding a Campsite – Camp  where it suits your type of camping, bush camping with none or limited amenities or in a Holiday Park with all the amenities. Don’t camp in low areas where water may flow if it rains and don’t camp under trees with low hanging branches. Keep away from high traffic areas if you have young children as it can be noisier and a traffic hazard.
• Weather – Check the weather prior to leaving, if the weather report is not favourable for the area, postpone to another time if possiable or camp in a different direction where better weather is forecast. Just in case always be prepared with some wet weather jackets and a tarp for overhead protection. Also you could have a back up plan to stay in a cabin in a  Holiday Park.
• Camp Cooking – Never be tempted to cook inside your tent, always cook outside with everyones safety in mind especially when using gas burners and the campfire.
• Campfires – Have a campfire in a prepared area or clear an area about 3 metres around the fire area. Never leave it unattended and take care when children are around the fire.
• Packing Up – Pack up all your belongings, put the rubbish in bins provided or take it with you and dispose of it properly. If your tents & equipment is wet dry it off as best you can. When you get home make sure everything is dry especially tents.

Prepare and enjoy your camping trip in the great outdoors, use these camping common sense tips to help you enjoy your camping.
