Every seasoned camper knows what a great travel adventure camping can be. But it also can come with the discomfort of hard floors, no cell battery, and basic meals. It doesn’t have to be this way, though.
Follow these simple steps and see your camping trip transformed into the ultimate glamping experience.
1. Portable Power Stations
All experienced campers know that you need mobiles and laptops to keep yourself entertained on a rainy day.
Backup power can come in multiple forms. While most campers will be familiar with the benefits of using gas in their cooking stoves, the gas generator vs. portable power station is a crucial consideration.
Typically gas generators are heavy, hard to move around, and run on fossil fuels. A portable power station offers clean, portable energy that lets you charge it all up fume-free. And unlike a generator, it stores the energy it produces.
This easy-to-use device is a game changer; charge it at home and have it ready to go whenever you feel like going on an adventure. Then charge your electronic devices to your heart’s content, keeping you happily connected to the wider world in an eco-friendly way.
2. Forget the Roll Mats
It’s no secret that a good night’s sleep is crucial. It doesn’t matter what adventure you’re in, you need sleep to make the most of the day. So forget the roll mats! Instead, take a mattress—blow-up or padded—to get the best night’s sleep possible.
And while you’re at it, forget the sleeping bags. Take your camping experience to a glamorous level by getting cozy with a duvet, and remember your pillows! Don’t compromise on the quality of your sleep.
Whatever you use to sleep at home, take with you on your next trip, and you’ll be sure to thank yourself in the morning.
3. Light Up the Night
Making your camping experience more homely will add that dash of glamour, and no glamping experience is complete without fairy lights. Whether they’re battery-powered or require the energy of your portable power station, they’re sure to be a welcome addition to your trip.
An adorning of lights to your tent can also make it far easier to see your tent when returning from a late-night toilet trip or meal out.
4. Comfort Comes First
Think cushions, rugs, throws, and blankets.
Whatever you use to get snuggly, include them in your trip. The simple act of placing a rug down in the tent, with a couple of cushions scattered about, can immediately make you feel at home.
5. Food, Glorious Food
Never compromise on food, not when it’s scientifically proven to bring you so much joy! Replace the easy-to-make pasta and pesto, or beans and rice, with risotto or something a little more adventurous.
Bring the icing on the cake to your trip and finish off with a dessert.
Get Glamping! Camping doesn’t have to come with the usual discomforts. Whether you pick one or all five of these tips, once you start the glamping experience, it’ll be hard to stop.
