If you’re like most people, the idea of camping conjures up images of roughing it in the great outdoors, sleeping on the ground, eating campfire food, and going without a shower for days. While there’s definitely something to be said for that kind of experience, there’s also a whole world of luxury camping out there that offers all the comforts of home – plus some fantastic views and unforgettable experiences. In this post, we’ll give you a quick guide to preparing for your luxury camping adventure!

Accommodation and Travel
When it comes to luxury camping, there are a few different ways you can go about it. You can book a stay at a glamping resort, which will usually include all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, or rent an RV or campervan and drive to your campsite of choice. If you’re planning on renting an RV, be sure to book early – they often get booked up months in advance! And no matter how you get to your campsite, pack plenty of food and water for the journey.
Accommodation-wise, you’ll want to ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. This includes packing your own bedding (or renting some from the resort), as well as any other essentials like towels, toiletries, and insect repellent. If you’re staying in an RV or campervan, you’ll also need to pack your cooking gear. But don’t worry – we’ll talk more about that later.

Packing for the Great Outdoors
One of the best things about luxury camping is that it gives you a chance to connect with nature. But to do that, you need to be prepared! This means packing all the essentials, like sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and snacks, consider a heavy-duty bag, like this EcoGearFX backpack, to pack your belongings. You’ll also want to pack a first-aid kit and any prescription medications you might need. And if you’re planning on doing any hiking or other activities while you’re camping, be sure to pack appropriate clothing and footwear.
In terms of clothing, it’s always best to err on caution and pack more than you think you’ll need. That way, if the weather changes or you get muddy on a hike, you’ll have a clean change of clothes to fall back on. And speaking of hikes, pack a map of the area – you don’t want to get lost in the wilderness!
Food and Drink
No matter how you spend your time while luxury camping, you will need to eat and drink. If you’re staying in a resort, this will usually be taken care of for you – but if you’re driving an RV or campervan, you’ll need to bring your food and drink. When it comes to food, it’s always best to pack non-perishable items that are easy to prepare. Think canned soup, pasta, cereal, and snacks like nuts and fruit. And don’t forget the all-important marshmallows for making s’mores!
As for drinks, water is the most important thing – but feel free to pack some other beverages. Just remember that you’ll need to fill enough for everyone in your group and any additional ice if you’re planning on keeping things cold. And for my friends who are 21+, a bottle of wine or two can help make your luxury camping experience even more enjoyable!
Now that you know what to pack for your luxury camping experience, all that’s left to do is book your trip and have a great time! Just remember to take plenty of photos – you’ll want to remember this trip for years.
