We all share nature. It’s all around us, and serves as a truly universal constant in all of our lives. Enjoying the great outdoors is what drives our love of camping, but just because we share it together doesn’t mean we can’t make the campsite feel like home. There are various ways to make the outdoors your own, and below are some of our favorites we’ve used over the years.
-MAKE PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME
Stake your claim to your campsite when you arrive by hanging out your welcome sign on the road leading to your site. Nothing says you’ve arrived like a personalized flag with a friendly greeting and your name on it. You can even include your hometown, which makes for a great conversation starter when meeting your neighbors.
-CREATE AN INVITING OUTDOOR SPACE
Set up a patio area to define the space, then add your favorite camp chairs, rockers, and recliners. Toss a few throw pillows and a blanket or two in your chairs so that you can have an early morning golden hour with your cup of coffee.
-BRING A RUG
Campground rugs are designed for outdoor use with an open weave to allow sunlight to pass through and avoid holding onto water. They are easy to wash and store and keep your tent or RV cleaner.
-STRING UP A HAMMOCK
Find some trees nearby to give everyone a quiet place to relax in the shade. And don’t forget about the family pet—a portable play yard fence gives your dogs a safe place to join you outside and with plenty of room to rest after that long hike.
-BRING A BOOK
A real book. Keep the electronics to a minimum and spend some time away from screens by relaxing with a good read. Unplugging while camping isn’t as hard as it sounds, it just takes a bit of planning ahead.
-OUTDOOR MUSIC
Waterproof portable speakers let you enjoy your favorite tunes while you’re on the road. For the musicians in the group, an evening campfire is an ideal setting to strum your guitar or jam with friends. Just remember to be mindful of your camping neighbors.
