Packing hacks for a stress free trip

ENJOY camping but not the stress of packing for the trip? Do you always forget something? Here are some top camping packing hacks.

The first one is easy: be organised. Make a checklist but save it and take it with you, you can then use it to make sure you have packed everything when leaving. You can also keep it and use it for your next camping trip.

Use transparent packing containers to store your gear, you can see inside each container and then you don’t have to waste time rummaging through all your gear looking for one thing.

To save space don’t pack a pillow just put some of your clothes inside your sleeping bag case and use this as a pillow. Or you can bring inflatable pillows if you find them comfortable.

Line your backpack with a rubbish bag, if it rains it will protect the items in your bag from getting damp.

If you are travelling with children pack their clothes per day each with its own bag which includes socks underwear etc… then have a bag marked ‘extra’ in case one outfit gets dirty or wet. This will save you both time and space.

If you intend to bring food then create your menu before you leave and only bring the items you need. Create a mixed spice bag to add to the food instead of bringing lots of different bottles.
