Camping Organization for Beginner and Experienced Campers

Camping is a popular summer activity for many people. Along with camping comes dust, dirt, and disorganization from being on the go all the time. The disorganization that comes with camping is difficult for many to handle, myself included.

If you feel the same this list is perfect for you!!

1. Make a list. A list is a great way to make sure you don’t forget anything that you need. Include food, clothing, supplies, etc.
2. Pre-pack all your gear. Storing all your camping supplies in large rubber totes will make your camping trips a breeze. Throw the totes in your vehicle and go. Plus, they are easy to store all year long! 
3. Keep a list of the storage areas in your camper with the items located in the area. Update the list accordingly and organize by zone. Alternatively, organize items in small plastic totes with labels. 
4. Use coffee cans for organization. Coffee cans are perfect to organize garbage bags, use as ashtrays or store plastic cutlery.
5. Don’t forget the lights! Pack your lantern, candles, etc. This is an important one you don’t want to forget especially if you are tenting it.
6. Pack in kits. Pack for each section of your camper or tent in a kit. For example, have a kitchen kit, a bathroom kit, a first aid kit, etc. This will keep everything you would need together and organized.
7. Ensure you pack tarps and rope. Whether you are tenting it or camping in a camper these are essential items. 
8. Organize the car for the trip by using a hanging seat organizer. Perfect for snacks, books, iPods and more! 
9. Use command hooks inside your cabinets to hang small items.
10. Save cupboard space by using nesting bowls and measuring spoons. Having kitchen supplies that will stack inside one another is a huge space saving trick.

Camping doesn’t have to be a stressful occurrence. With some careful planning and organizing you can take care to enjoy your trip as much as your family will! Where is your favourite spot to camp?
