Whether you're setting up camp in your backyard or road tripping to a state park, here are some of my camping gear recommendations to enhance your enjoyment in the great outdoors.
Let's start with the tent.
If you plan on car camping or backyard camping, invest in a spacious one that can sleep your whole family comfortably.
Ideally one where you can stand up inside and has room dividers for you and your kids at 10th that can fit and inflatable air mattress and real sheets will be absolutely key for your camping comfort.
begin your search at Rei dot com since they have a generous return policy if you don't get exactly what you want A comfortable place to sit makes all the difference in the world.
No one wants to perch on a log for a weekend.
Camping chair start as low as $20 and can offer a range of features.
Choose one that is easy to set up as a cup holder and a high enough back to be comfortable for your frame.
Nothing says camping like a campfire.
The pop up fire pit is portable, easy to use and will let you toast those marshmallows to perfection for a little over $100 just because you're roughing it doesn't mean you have to live without your gadgets.
Keep them charged with a gold zero charger.
The solar ones are especially handy on a camping trip.
Finally, no one is having fun if the mosquitoes are biting thermal cell makes all sorts of repellent products like this handheld device for 25 bucks that create a shield of protection up to 15 feet.
