Before you head on the road for your first family camping trip, below are a few tips, not in any particular order, to make your camper feel more like home:
Change out the mattress or invest in a mattress topper. Enjoying a good night’s rest is key to being at your best for your family. With so many mattress options, the camper manufacturers leave the individual comfort choice to you. Why take a chance?
Let your kids decorate their space with their own blankets and pillows. 3M hooks are an easy and convenient to hang string lights, baseball caps, jewelry and even pictures. A small storage bin for their electronics can make all the difference in keeping their items organized. Kids sleep better when they feel comfortable.
Adding an ottoman to your living space will not only make you more comfortable while relaxing on the couch, but adds storage space.
Throw pillows and blankets add a splash of color and give everyone a soft snuggly feeling while enjoying a movie or time around the campfire.
Be sure to pack your comfy clothes and even your favorite slippers for those cooler mornings.
Bring along your oil defuser. Your sense of smell is powerful and can set the tone for a great day or evening. Eucalyptus is great for that daytime clean and fresh feeling while lavender can be used to relax everyone at night.
Expand the living space to the outdoors with a tent or canopy to give the kids their own space. They will enjoy the freedom and you will enjoy the quiet time.
Ask your kids to make up a favorite music play list. Making memories and camping go hand in hand. Every time you hear those songs, it will bring you back to being around the campfire as a family.
