Want to Master Chic Camping? Here’s How.

I remember my first ever camping trip. No joke, it rained the entire first night and I woke up with a slug on my pillow. I was about five so I went with it, but if that happened today? I’d pack my bags and head home. Thankfully, glamping is a thing and if you plan your trip just right, it can be a smashing good time. Just take it from the folks at Camp Sunset—they’re giving us a few tips on how to make it happen. See more captured by Tom Story in The Vault!

You deserve a quality sleeping pad.

It will totally transform your sleep. If you have a spacious tent, a raised camp cot will also make for a super-comfortable night (or a nice nap among the redwoods).

Start planning and getting ready to go a week ahead of your trip.

Designate one corner of your garage or closet as your “camping corner”. Keep all of your camp gear there, and it will be that much easier to find before your next trip.

Take off your shoes before you get in the tent.

But keep them under the rainfly. That way, they won’t get wet if it rains at night.

Plan for happy hour.

You’re on vacation, right? Camp Sunset includes easy cocktail recipes, like Margarita 1, 2, 3, and ideas for quick appetizers.

This will be the meal that you’ll talk about for years to come.

Pick something that’s special but doable, such as pan-seared steak with mushrooms, or one of the other 55 recipes from Camp Sunset.

Know how to tell a good campfire story.

Enjoy this unplugged time in the outdoors, where everyone gets to be the audience- and the star. Get tips and topics in the “Fun in Camp” chapter of Camp Sunset.
