Sleeping Bags and Comforters
Once you figure out where you will lay your head, it is time to work on its inner parts. Sleeping bags are a quintessential camping component, especially in the winter.
If you don't have any sleeping bags, double up on comforters (at least two to three) to keep you and your family warm. Regardless of what you decide to use, we recommend laying down a blanket so you aren't sleeping on the grass.
Intra-Tent Checklist
There are still a few? items that your tent should have. Examples of tent accessories include:
- Alarm Clock
- Flashlights
- Light Torch (electric or gas)
- Extra Pillows
- Books (for camp stories)
- Water Carafe
- Thermos with Cups (for warm drinks and/or soups)
Create a Fire
Toast s'mores and sing classic camp songs around a toasty fire. Gather log wood together and surround it with rocks to enclose the fire.?
Caution: Be sure to keep an eye on the fire and all accessories (e.g. lighter fluid, etc) with children around.?
If you would rather not use a real fire for your campground, emulate the look with LED candles bunched together.
Have Fun Decorating Your Backyard Campsite Together
Using paper bags (white or brown), decorate each bag by creating noticeable cutouts in the shape of stars, animals and any other reminder of the great outdoors. Place a small LED light inside each bag and watch them come to life under the moonlight.
