Hey Whitney. Thanks for review on tent. I am just in planning mode for my first camping trip. The cast iron skillet is something new for me.( well I am a noob camper afterall.) these recommendations are nice for a newbie like me. Though I would like to add two more things: a medikit and an insect repellent.

These are awesome tips! I liked the last one as company of good friends are more important to make your camping memorable!

This is awesome, thank you for sharing! I have never been camping before, but my husband keeps telling me how much fun it can be, Definitely going camping this summer though 🙂

This all looks like so much fun. I haven’t brought alcohol camping and as long as you are in a safe place it sounds like fun. And a bigger tent than you need is actually essential I think.

Nice stuff you mentioned, I’m glad I’ve come here. Actually I’m just about to start my camping journey, so this is helpful.

Well…if I’m being honest, there were definitely a fair share of bugs as well. But again, that’s why you want a good NEW tent – so that you can make sure there are no entry points for creepy crawlies! And, as I learned from experience – always keep the tent fully zipped, even when you’re not in it!

That setting looks amazing. I always imagine camping in the woods with creepy bugs around. You make it sound like such fun! 🙂

Thanks for these tips, Whitney 🙂 We’ve decided to go camping in the Cote d’azure, France later on this year and we will DEFINITELY be buying some of those mystical fire sachets! The kids will love em!
Totally agree with the oversize tent and Alcohol to numb the pain also!

In reply to Nikki Kelly. I'd never been until I married my husband. As long as you take it in short trips (no more than 2-3 days at a time, is my preference), and of course pack plenty of that Moet, then it's really not bad at all! ;-)
