Top 10 Tips For A Luxury Camping Experience
Luxury Camping For The Tour De France In Harrogate
If you’d rather be ‘at one with a 5* spa retreat’ than ‘at one with nature’, here are our Top 10 Tips for adding a luxurious twist to your cosy night in with the earth – Camping!
1. Opt For A Pop Up Tent
If you’re a camping regular, then you will be used to erecting even the most challenging of equipment, if not then where is the fun in gathering round an instruction booklet that may as well be written in Japanese, whilst tearing lumps out of your entire family? The pop up tent option is certainly high on the luxury camping list.
2. Consider lining your tent’s canvas flooring with a rug
Roll up a rug from home, it won’t take up very much space in the car. Just imagine being able to sit comfortably in your tent without having to sit on your bedding. This way you can sit on your rug and use your rolled up your bedding as a back cushion, mmm!
3. How about an inflatable bed?
Didn’t think of this one did you? Inflatable beds pack nicely away in your luggage, you can even pump them up by attaching a pump to your car battery! Available in single or double sizes, why would you even consider sleeping on a ground sheet? (you do realise you could wow your friends with an inflatable Chesterfield sofa too?!…oh and a pop up gazebo)
4. Take along your favourite duvet
This is 2014, you don’t HAVE to use a sleeping bag you know. Why not take your duvet along and turn your tent into a comfortable boudoir? Throw in a couple of pillows and a sheet too! This camping malarkey doesn’t sound half bad now does it?
5. Solar lanterns are an absolute must
Forget the torches of yesteryear, pop to B&Q and bag yourself a couple of trendy solar lanterns, you can pop them outside to charge by day and give your tent a glamorous glow by night, ooh the romance!
6. Pack a fold up lap tray
Using a lap tray on legs as a beside table offers a place to put your alarm clock, mobile phone, lamp and book – just like being at home.
7. Solar water bag
You don’t have to settle for less than hot! Solar water bags priced at around £7.99 offer a luxurious alternative to a cold shower if your chosen camp site doesn’t offer hot water. Great for washing up too.
8. Real plates and cutlery
Pack real dinner plates and knives and forks to glam up your mealtimes. Paper or plastic alternatives may offer convenience but there’s nothing like the real thing. Pop in a table cloth too whilst you’re at it.
9. Take along some games
Both indoor and outdoor games will offer excellent quality time with the kids. It’s not all about mobile phones, ipads and computer games. There’s nothing more luxurious than family time.
10. Wine and Dine
Take along a few good bottles of wine, with the money you saved on your 5* retreat, you deserve to indulge once the kids are tucked up in their new found luxury beds. Take along plastic wine glasses and relax under the stars surrounded by nature and all the natural sounds and goodness it brings – ahhhh!
