Camping is such a fun way to see nature, explore new places, and really get to know the person\u00a0you\u2019re traveling with — especially if it’s your S.O! Think about it: you\u00a0sleep together in a small nylon tent, use\u00a0the surroundings when nature calls, and you can’t really\u00a0sneak away to freshen yourself up for your boo.<\/p>\n

But before you get to snuggling near the campfire, read our tips to plan a successful, no-drama camping trip!<\/p>\n

Pick Your Spot<\/strong>
\nChoose where you\u2019re headed and be sure to check out Reserve America<\/a> to ensure you book a campsite in time.<\/p>\n

Start a Google Doc<\/strong>
\nOnce you\u2019ve decided where and when you\u2019ll be going, create a shared Google Doc that includes a packing list,\u00a0places to see on your trip, your budget, etc. That way, you’ll both be on the same page and it’ll help with\u00a0communication during the planning process.<\/p>\n

Get Your Gear<\/strong>
\nMake sure you have at least a two-person tent that is appropriate for the weather conditions you expect to encounter. Also plan to purchase the\u00a0right attire and pack\u00a0additional gear<\/a>\u00a0you need for camping whether it’s a lamp, boots, or cooler.<\/p>\n

Pack Your Snacks<\/strong>
\nDepending on how much cooking you plan on doing over an open fire, bring enough snacks to last a few days. Camping always makes you hungrier than usual. Try some jerky, mixed nuts, granola, and anything non-perishable and easily transportable. Oh! And don\u2019t forget ingredients\u00a0for s\u2019mores, including skewers to roast the \u2018mallows with.<\/p>\n

Print Your Maps<\/strong>
\nWe know…it\u2019s not 1999 anymore and there\u2019s GPS everywhere you turn. However, there might be no cell service in some mountain towns and we’re sure getting lost in the woods isn\u2019t exactly on your\u00a0agenda. Print some road maps out beforehand or head to AAA to grab some maps\u00a0before you start your trip.<\/p>\n

Plan Your Activities<\/strong>
\nDefinitely include booze (make sure you’re allowed to drink on camping grounds) and playing cards in this category. You\u00a0need to get creative when there\u2019s no Wi-Fi or electricity — and a game of Go Fish and some vino makes for a fun night! Also, look up nearby hiking trails or national parks to visit during your time there. It’ll be a great way to relax in nature with your S.O.<\/p>\n

Have Patience<\/strong>
\nDon’t leave home without this mindset. At some point, one of you will inevitably get lost, tangle up the tent poles, or burn your hot chocolate. But just remember, the\u00a0trip is\u00a0supposed to be fun and adventurous — and you\u2019ll both leave as happy campers.<\/p>\n
