A Weekend Family Camping Trip Beckons
A weekend camping trip is a fun way to get your family or group of friends out into nature for some fresh air, relaxation, and great memories. While the idea of being surrounded by all that green grass and tall trees is a refreshing thought in itself, it can be even more exciting knowing all the steps you’ll have to take to prepare yourself for the upcoming event. A significant part of this preparation involves figuring out how exactly everyone’s going to fit inside your car (or SUV), all your shelter equipment (tent, small chairs plus lamps), food, water bottles/cooler filled with ice blocks, etc. Once you’ve got everything ready under your roof rack or on top of your SUV’s-rack bars, you’re all set to head off on your weekend camping trip.
Have a good tent
One of the most important things you’ll need on a weekend camping trip is a good tent. While there are lots of different brands and models available for you to choose from, it’s always best to get something with proper ventilation so that you don’t end up sweating throughout the night. If space permits, try to go for a four-person family tent because more people fit into it, and everyone can sleep comfortably without feeling cramped inside. It’d also be a good idea if the tent came equipped with mosquito nets along with inflatable sleeping pads, which will help provide extra comfort when you’re lying down at night. In addition, make sure your SUV is big enough, or else you won’t be able to fit it in your car no matter how hard you try. Check out patriot campers for great alternatives if you need more space.
Spend time in nature
For some added fun while you’re getting ready for your weekend camping trip, why not take along a fishing rod or perhaps two? There are many different types of small fish available for everyone to catch, so the best thing to do would be to ask your nearest fishing expert what kind of bait is ideal for use. This way, you’ll have an excuse to walk around the campsite grounds while trying to get rid of all that excess energy from being cooped up inside your SUV! Just make sure everyone remembers their lifejackets because if there’s one thing more exciting than catching fish at the lake during a romantic sunset, it’s riding them back home!
Avoid last minute packing
Don’t forget to pack up all the camping equipment together with your food, water bottles/cooler filled with ice blocks, etc., so that you don’t have to worry about anything during the drive. While most people are used to packing everything at the last minute, this can be a pretty bad idea because then you’ll end up forgetting something important along the way. Therefore, it’s always best to get organized well in advance so that everyone is comfortable inside their SUV while driving down to the campsite.
Finally
Once there, have fun catching fish and building up all those great memories which will hopefully last you a lifetime!
