Wild Camping or Glamping?

You can go back to basics and pitch your tent in the middle of the field or choose to pay for a pitch at a campsite where you'll have access to on-site facilities such as showers and toilets. Glamping is a great option if you aren't too keen on 'roughing' it.

Make sure you've made your list and checked it twice

Always make a checklist of all the essential items you'll need for your camping trip. You don't want to be forgetting the matches for the campfire or toilet roll
Make sure you've got a First-Aid kit and bug spray as well clothing to keep you warm... even if it's Summer time.
Check out this great checklist from Go Outdoors.

Check your gear and the rules

Before you go, always make sure you check all of your camping gear to make sure it's in good condition. You don't want to get stuck in the rain only to find out that your tent is leaking!
No matter what type of camping you choose there may be special rules or requirements, so check these out before you go so there are no surprises.

Practice makes perfect

It's always good to practice putting up your tent and putting your gear together before you go. This way if you have any problems you can get the help you need from the people in the know.
Places like Go Outdoors will be able to help answer any questions you might have.

Have Fun!
