It’s important to think through your family’s needs, how you tend to function, and your priorities. Camping really should be a minimalist venture, so making lists can be extremely helpful.
- Pack all the essentials first before packing the ‘extras’. - Put the most used items in easy-to-get-to spots in the vehicle.
Depending on how much space you have in your tent, you may want to consider packing all the clothes for the whole family in plastic, stackable drawers.
Roll your daily outfits together and give each person a drawer to pack them in. The top of the drawers will give you a small table for your tent, which can be extremely handy for keeping smaller items organized!
A Shower Caddy or Toiletry Bag can keep all your small bathroom and shower items easily accessible, which is essential when you’re working with a mobile bathroom situation.
One idea is to use a Hanging Organizer to keep smaller items handy. It can be hung from a canopy, tarp rope, or even in a tree.
It’s a great place to keep utensils, napkins, wipes, water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer, or anything else you’d like to keep handy, but animals may not care about.
