How do I keep my campsite organized?

Designate spaces for cooking, sleeping, and gear. Use bins or dry bags to keep things tidy and stash loose items under your rainfly or in the tent overnight to keep them dry and easy to find.

What’s the best way to keep bugs away while camping?

Pick a breezy campsite, zip your tent closed at dusk, and use citronella candles or dim lighting. If you’re dealing with flies, keeping food covered and trash sealed up makes a big difference. A little smoke from the fire can help keep bugs at bay, and at night, using dim lights instead of bright lanterns attracts fewer insects.

How do I make tent camping more comfortable?

A good night’s sleep starts with where and how you set up your tent. Finding level ground and clearing out rocks and sticks makes a huge difference. Sleeping directly on the ground can get cold and uncomfortable fast, so having some kind of barrier—whether it’s a sleeping pad, extra blankets, or even a pile of leaves under your tent—helps a lot. If it’s warm, leaving the rainfly off (as long as there’s no rain in the forecast) lets air flow better, keeping the tent from getting too stuffy. A small camping pillow or even a bundled-up sweatshirt under your head makes sleeping much more comfortable.

What’s the best way to store food at a campsite?

Use airtight containers or coolers, and keep them away from your tent. In bear country, use bear-proof storage or hang food. Always seal trash to avoid critters overnight.

How do I charge my devices while camping?

Staying powered up depends on how long you're camping and how off-grid you are. If you’re only out for a night or two, starting with a full charge and keeping your phone on low-power mode might be enough. For longer trips, a portable battery pack or solar charger comes in handy. If you're at a campground with hookups, an outdoor-rated extension cord lets you charge up without having to sit inside your vehicle. But honestly, camping is a great excuse to unplug—sometimes it’s nice to leave the phone off and just enjoy the outdoors.
