Are you thinking about packing your things and going camping? Whether you want to go for an overnight adventure or plan to stay a week, there is some basic information you need. This article contains all the information you need to make your camping trip something the entire family will enjoy.

A good multi-purpose tool needs to be part of your camping gear. There are two kinds to bring. First is the saw/hammer/axe 3-in-1 tool to use for firewood and other chores. The other is the standard multi-purpose tool with a variety of tools on it like a can opener, tweezers, scissors, and a knife.

If you are camping at a public campground, make sure you pack shower shoes for everyone in your party. Not only will they protect your feet from the bacteria on the shower floor, but they are great for those nighttime runs to the bushes when you need to use the restroom. They can be old flip flops, Crocs, or even slip-ons.

When going camping, you must make sure that you keep a list of all of the supplies that you plan to bring. You have to make sure you include everything that you will need on your trip. This is the best way to make sure that you don't forget something for your trip.

When packing for your camping trip, make sure to pack either a pair of flip flops or water shoes. These will come in handy in and around the campground. For instance, if you are staying in a campground that has bathroom facilities and you plan on taking a shower, you need to wear shoes in the shower to protect your feet from foot fungus.

If you are planning any kind of backcountry camping, a must carry item is a fire starter kit. If you are in a survival situation, fire is a way to cook, keep you warm, purify water, and signal for help. Many camping stores sell fire starters that can be used when wet and do not require any fuel. Also, try making fire when you are not in a survival situation so you know you can do it if the need arises.

Chances are, your family and your belongings are going to end up getting dirty. If you're prepared beforehand, it won't stress you out when it occurs. Just have fun. Relax, and enjoy your time in the great outdoors. You can get clean when you return home.



Pack in excess for your kids when you are going camping. Camping can get very messy and dirty when you bring your children. Kids simply love to get dirty. As Motorhome & Campervan Hire New Zealand, Camper Rentals goes on, you may end up with messy, dirty kids. You don't want to interrupt their fun, it's a joy of camping after all; but, keep some extra clothing with you for them. Keep Wicked Campers New Zealand at all times.

If you will be camping somewhere that is very far away from civilization, then make sure you have told several people where you will be as well as how long you are intending to stay. Ask them to call you on the day you are supposed to return to ensure your safety.

Clean up thoroughly when leaving a campsite. Try Mighty Campers not to leave any trace of you at the campsite you stayed in. This is important, not just in terms of being considerate of other people. There are animals and insects that continue to live in the woods after you have left, so think of them as well.

Consider purchasing inexpensive walkie-talkies to take with you on your next camping trip to provide a way to keep in touch with everyone in your party in areas where cell phone reception may not be available. This can be especially important if you are camping with children and need to keep track of their whereabouts.

Now that you've reached the end of this article, you should be ready to plan your trip.
