It feels like there’s always a lot on our plates these days. Sometimes, you just want to shut the world away for a few hours, maybe even the whole weekend.
By following our four easy steps, you can create the perfect dreamy getaway to block out the noise and reconnect with a special somebody within the beauty of nature.
1. Stay Connected
Staying connected might sound counter-productive for those looking to get away, but ensuring you still have an electricity source is essential.
With the right power source, you can set up romantic lighting, play a little music, and still be able to keep your devices charged.
If you want to go somewhere wild and beautiful, a plug-in energy supply won’t be possible, which is where portable solar panels and a portable power station become invaluable.
They’re easy to use, can fit in the back of the car, and provide all the electricity you need while camping.
2. Location, Location, Location
When it comes to picking your spot, take your time and make sure you get it right. Ideally, pitch your tent under shade and on firm but still soft ground that’s level. And importantly, make sure the area has good drainage. If it feels squelchy underfoot, avoid it at all costs.
Try to avoid camping beneath or even near dead trees. Branches falling on a tent at night can range from annoying to downright dangerous. Pick somewhere with a lovely view, as there’s nothing better than creeping out of a tent first thing in the morning and seeing a gorgeous sight at sunrise.
3. Good Supplies and the Right Equipment
The difference between a good and bad camping trip can often come down to what you’ve brought with you.
A poor-quality selection that runs out earlier than planned can quickly land you in hot water, so bring plenty of your favorite treats and try to be adventurous with your camping recipes.
You’ll also want to ensure you have the best quality equipment available. Bring good sleeping bags, comfortable pillows, and something to sleep on that will make you feel like you’re back at home in your bed. Without them, you may be in for a long, cold night.
4. Create a Safe Campfire
Nothing says romance like cozying up next to a campfire with your favorite person. Building your own campfire can take some time, but it’s worth it.
However, you need to ensure you’re doing it safely, as the last thing you want on your romantic break is a fire story that will haunt you for years.
Make sure you build a fire ring beforehand, and always ensure the fire is completely out before bed.
Conclusion
When a camping trip finally comes together, there’s nothing like it. However, it’s also a romantic trip that takes a little more time to plan and execute well.
With the right kind of preparation, plenty of supplies, the right equipment, a beautiful location, and a roaring fire to snuggle up next to, what more could you possibly ask for?
