Camping is a great family vacation, but it’s not without its challenges. Improvising hacks for everything from camping food to camp setup can make your family’s next outdoor adventure a more fun and less stressful experience. This article contains a collection of camping hacks, from simple camping meals to kids camping activities, as well as some clever DIY camping gadgets for adults and kids.
Kids can be notoriously difficult to entertain at camp. The constant need to run around the campsite and play with whatever they find can lead to boredom and fights, especially when you’re trying to set up camp. Try this simple camping hack: get your kids to help you with the camp set up and give them each a job to do. This will keep them busy for a while, and it gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility.
If your campsite has limited closet space, use this simple camping hack: cut the tabs off soft drink cans and slip them over a hanger on the tent to double the amount of hanging space. It’s a quick, easy, and cheap camping hack that’ll save you rummaging through your backpack or the tent to find things.
One of the most important camping hacks is to avoid packing too much water. Water is essential for a camping trip, but it’s also heavy and often ends up going to waste because it melts and becomes undrinkable. Try this camping hack: purchase a large styrofoam cooler and cut a hole in the lid, on a short side of the box. Then, drill in two vent holes on the opposite side of the box, sized about an inch smaller than the hole for the fan.
