When most people think of camping or any outdoor activities, they think of rugged terrain, testing your limits against the elements and roughing it in the forest somewhere remote. Yes, it’s true that camping can be all of these things but can also be something else. It can be a romantic escape for couples seeking to get away from it all to enjoy some time together away from everyone and everything.
Whether you are a couple who has been married for many years, newlyweds or a couple who has been dating for a short period of time, camping is a great way to connect without the distractions of everyday life. A Romantic Camping Trip can be anything you want it to be. It can be an excursion to test your ability to withstand the elements together or it can be a relaxing escape in the open air under the stars.
If you are planning a Romantic Camping Trip, there are some things you’ll need to consider beforehand. The preparations for such an excursion are not much different from any other camping adventure. You’ll need all the basics such as clothing suitable to the weather where you’ll be going, a tent, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, non-perishable food and any other items you wish to prepare over a camp stove or open fire, comfortable shoes and safety equipment such as a first aid kit.
To make your getaway more romantic, pack some extra candles and pre-prepare a nice meal. Enjoy this meal on a picnic blanket or table by candlelight at sunset. You can also add romantic ambiance to your campsite with some colorful solar lights.
The benefits of taking a trip like this as a couple are endless. There’s just something about working together to prepare for such an event and driving off onto the open road to spend quality time together away from the mundane tasks of everyday life. Working together to set up your campsite will bring you closer and provide a combined sense of achievement that you were able to work together to create the perfect oasis.
When choosing the location to set up your camp, you’ll have two options to choose from; a campground or an independent spot that isn’t associated with a business of any sort. If you choose to stay on a campground, seek out a site that is away from everyone else that has a combination of open space to watch the stars and enough trees for privacy and coziness. If you choose a site away from a campground, make sure you are legally allowed to set up camp there and set up far enough from the road for privacy but close enough to civilization to ensure safety.
