Have you thought about setting up camping? The camping business represents a lodging option for those looking for more affordable prices, outside the big centers. The most straightforward facilities, equipment, and services make camping an excellent choice for those who want to save money and be in close contact with nature.

In seasons, this type of business can profit a lot and be an essential investment for those who live in tourist cities.

Choice of Camping

For your first camping experience, we really suggest that you choose camping with a focal structure. Ideally, that is not in a completely secluded place so that you will not have trouble if you forget something significant or have any unexpected problems. Also, asses if you want to cook, if the camping has a kitchen or restaurant nearby. Camping is not necessarily staying inactive (but it can be if you wish to!), So look for camping that has a respite option that you enjoy!

Choice of Location

By the time you arrive at the campsite, there will probably be an infinite number of places where you can place your tent. Before arming, look for a flat and uniform place, without branches and roots on the ground. Try to put it under a tree to take advantage of the shade, but look first if it is not a fruit tree, if you do not have a jackfruit to fall in your tent or if there are no colored fruits that can stain it. Also, check the condition of the tree itself and the branches, see if they are not rotten and at risk of falling. If you are in doubt, the tip is simple: ask the owner or administrator of the campsite which is the best place, after all, who is always there knows where it gets sun, where it floods, where there are anthills, these things. Don’t be ashamed to ask other campers for help too.

Weather Forecast

When you have never gone camping earlier, the ideal thing is that you don’t have to face rain, wind, or storms. Of course, sometime you will camp out in the rain, it is inevitable. And if you have a suitable tent for camping in the shower, you will experience the good and bad things about camping in the rain. But a solid piece of advice is: avoid rain in your first experience, especially if your tent is not good. Focus on the weather forecast and plan to live the first camp with good weather!

Acquiring your First Tent

When you’re camping your tent is your home, it is your safe place and has the function of covering and protecting you. But be aware that not all canvases do this, there are many kinds of tents including those that let the rain go through the sewing and fabrics (yes, not all tents are waterproof!). So before buying your tent, find out! The quality is directly related to the value, and rest assured that you will certainly not be easing your first experience when you buy the cheapest canvas. If you need the assistance of buying the first tent, send us a message that we will be happy to help you choose the best model for your needs!

Tent Assembly

An essential tip is to set up your tent at home before taking it to the camp. So you get familiar with the equipment and take the opportunity to check if everything is right. If even setting up your tent beforehand, you encounter difficulties when you arrive at the campsite, don’t despair. Do things calmly, and if you need help, just look with a “puffy dog” look at any camper who already has his tent set up. Any experienced camper will be happy to help someone who is just starting. And this is always an occasion to make new friends with the neighboring campers.

Finally, no matter if you are a beginner or an experienced camper, set up your tent, right! Do not throw the overcoat over it only, do it carefully, secure all fastening points, place all tensioners (strings), and all spikes. Your tent is your home, treat it nicely!

Closed Tent

An essential tip for those who are camping for the first time is to know that mosquitoes will have no mercy, and if you leave your tent open, they will come in and turn your night into hell. The tip (rule) is simple, essential, and valid forever: leave your tent (or mosquito net) always closed! It is a simple attitude: it closes. That avoids, in addition to mosquitoes, problems with other animals (spiders, ants, crickets, moths), some of which may have more severe consequences.

Plastic Tarpaulin

Many people like to bring tarps to camp, to put on the tent as an extra awning or under the floor, for fright that water will undertake the story. Bringing a tarp can be interesting if you are going to camp for longer and if you are going with more experienced campers who can help in setting up an awning. If you’re going to camp only for two or three days, with the adequate weather forecast and a waterproof tent, allocate it with the shade in this first experience. It will be one fewer thing for you to bother.

Loose Animals

Many campsites have dogs, cats, roosters, horses, or other animals that stay put in the camping place, often loose (especially in low season). On some occurrence, it is the fact that they already have these animals from the site that makes them not take the camper’s pets. If you are scared of dogs or do not get by well with animals in general, it may be useful to ask with camping about this issue.

Toilet Paper

If you are not used to camping, you may not know that most campsites do not provide toilet paper for campers! That’s right; each camper needs to take its role. It may seem embarrassing, but it is not, it is normal. When you go camping take a roll (or more depending on how many people and how long) and put it in a bag or toiletry bag, then when you need to go to the bathroom, just run your hand over the toilet paper bag, and that’s it, all resolved! It is worth mentioning that in camping, toilet paper can be useful at various times, such as to clean or dry things in the tent.

Electric Extension

If you are going to camp in a place that you do not know yet and will depend on and electricity for some equipment in the tent, it is good to organize. The vast majority of campsites provide outlets for campers, but they will not always be close to where you want or can place your tent. So, if you need plugs next to the canvas, we strongly recommend taking an extension of some (several) meters.

Swiss Knife

It doesn’t have to be Swiss, and it can be Chinese, Brazilian or any other nationality, what is essential, is that it has a thousand features, the more features, the bigger, but more useful!

When opening a bottle, the opener breaks the branch! A thorn came in, and the tweezers break the office! You need to cut something, and the scissors break the branch! He bought wine but forgot the corkscrew even then he breaks the department! I can’t say how many times I’ve used it to make up for small forgetfulness.

Lighter

Another essential item to put on your camping list. If you are in a city or citified center if you forget this item just go to the closest market and buy, but if you are camping in a place farther from cities and set aside about it, when it comes to cooking it can be a problem, because, as much as you have a stove with automatic ignition, if it fails you will be in hand.

The first tip is to always carry a lighter in your basic equipment kit (along with the Swiss army knife), because even in a disaster situation, with a knife and a lighter, the chance of survival is very high. It is an exceedingly small and light item.

Flashlight

The flashlight will come in handy whenever it gets dark. Not all campsites have lighting in the tent area, or your tent will not always be next to it.

If you are going to invest in a flashlight, choose one that can use on the head. It makes things more practical. If possible, take up to two, one head, and one hand (to always be in an easily accessible tent pocket).

Thermal Insulation

An essential thing that many beginners do not know is that even in summer, the temperature can drop during the night, especially the soil temperature. If you prefer a little comfort over insulation, you can opt for an inflatable mattress. That will also make thermal insulation, but giving a bit of support.

Repellent

It is an indispensable item in any camp (except in some places in the winter). Mosquitoes are not playing games and are excited by the presence of blood from novice campers. Put a repellent in your bag and add it to the list of essential items in any camp.

First Aid Kit

Another essential item to take with you, even on all your adventures, is a First Aid Kit. The most important thing is not just to take it, but to know each utensil inside and know-how and when to use it in an emergency

Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are always useful for a thousand functions: to store garbage, to organize your clothes in your backpack, to bag your things and to prevent them from getting wet, to separate dirty clothes, finally always carry a few plastic bags. Before separating them, make sure they are not punctured, and if you can, take those that are a little more resistant and does not tear so easily.​

Cordiality and Respect

In camping, it is normal for people to be more cordial, helpful, and friendly. Cordiality is one of the values ​​associated with campers. At campsites, people help each other, talk to each other, with a good morning. Sometimes the cordiality even goes beyond and becomes friendship. It is quite common after a few days that you become a childhood friend of your tent neighbors. Camping is like that, even though some campers have lost those values. When entering the camp, practice friendship, smile, be friendly, helpful, and let yourself be helped.

Exchanges of Experiences

It is usual for campsites to become places for exchanging experiences between campers. The more experienced ones always have some tips for the most novices, take the time to chat, to learn about the tents and equipment in general. Take suggestions from other places to camp. This exchange of experiences naturally happens when people are open. Arrive at the campsite without prejudice with an open heart!

Company

We certainly advise against taking your first camping trip alone. Invite a girlfriend, boyfriend, or even friends. And, if possible, strategically take someone who has already camped or that friend who is a member of a Scout! Camping can be a great experience, but it will be more impressive if you live these moments surrounded by loved ones. But here’s the tip: calling that friend who can’t even live with an ant can be a total bore since, in nature, there will be insects and animals, and interaction with them is inevitable! Take a company that enjoys life and is no frills! It will be all good!
