Best Car Camping Tips and Tricks
Because sometimes sleeping in your car is better than the tent.
Best car camping
It turns out that sleeping in your car might be rather comfortable.
We are so eager to resume our journey that we cannot wait to do so! The global pandemic rekindled our love for the vast outdoors, if there is one positive outcome from it. As soon as spring arrives, you’ll find us loading up and traveling to new places.
Another thing we discovered while under quarantine? Many Americans choose camping as the next best alternative when staying at hotels and AirBNBs might not have been the safest choice. Many of us spent time traveling the country independently and self-sufficiently, whether we rented an RV or Airstream or camped the old-fashioned way.
Not looking to purchase an RV or trailer? No issue! In most locations, camping in tents and cars is safe, legal, and can be an affordable comfortable option.
We are here to make sure you are completely ready before you get on the road. Make a map of the full route, taking into account any required stops you intend to make. To stock up on food, we advise adding low-cost grocery stores, low-cost gas stations, and camping grounds.
Buy some high-quality equipment next, such as chairs, hammocks, stoves, etc., and you’ll be on the correct course. Plan your meals before you leave; we recommend taking a dependable Dutch oven and other camping gear to enjoy the flavor of a home-cooked meal. Of course, make sure your camping list is accurate as well.
Things to bring for your best car camping experience
1.Pack some privacy
Window screens do double duty by upping privacy and cooling things down. You can also prevent a stuffy environment by rolling the windows down and leaving the shades intact for a welcoming breeze.
2.Use a Tent Designed to Fit Your Vehicle
SUV tent gives you the perfect place to sleep outside your car, while still being able to easily access your trunk. And truck drivers, don’t worry! There’s one for trucks, too
3.Charge Devices With a Portable Solar Charger
Attach a solar charger to the outside of your car to charge during the day, and then plug your devices in once you’ve turned your car off for the night.
4.Inflatable Car Air Mattress
If you don’t own a tent (or don’t want set it up), an inexpensive car bed will help you rest easier.
5.Pop-Up Portable Tent
If you’d prefer to camp outside of your car, a pop-up tent makes finding shelter a breeze. It stores away in a small bag when not in use and assembles in 90 seconds
6.Camping Hammock
Hammocks are an inexpensive way to make the most of sleeping in the great outdoors, especially if you can snag one that includes a rain shelter and mosquito net.
7.Prepare Meals With a Portable Stove
A liquid propane gas grill doesn’t take up much space and means you can enjoy delicious meals when you go car camping. You can also use a mini charcoal grill if you prefer.
