Camping in the rain may seem tricky, but with the right mindset and preparation, it certainly doesn't have to ruin your holiday. Discover handy tips to make your rainy holiday fun in our blog. So, get out that mackintosh and umbrella and read on!
Choose your spot carefully
Is rain predicted during your holiday? Camping in the rain requires a smart camping spot. Find a location that is well-drained and avoid low spots where water can accumulate. Look for shelter such as trees or shelters to stay dry during showers.
Bring rainwear
It sounds logical, but good rainwear is really a must when it rains on holiday. Invest in waterproof jackets, trousers and shoes, and don't forget a cover for your backpack. With this equipment, you will stay dry and still be able to enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather. Stay prepared for all conditions!
Make sure you can go inside
If the weather becomes unpredictable, it is smart to make a shelter where you can relax even in the rain. Set up a spacious awning or use a tarp to create a dry place for cooking, playing games or just relaxing with a good book. Make sure you have enough ground sheet and guy ropes to prevent water from getting in.
Store your things dry
Keep your things dry, especially your sleeping bag, clothes and electronics, by using waterproof storage bags, plastic bags or sturdy containers. This will protect your belongings from leaks and moisture, so you can sleep easy even if the rain persists.
Don't forget the games!
When it rains, you can't always be outside, so make sure you have entertainment inside your camping spot. Bring board games, cards, books or other activities you can do when you can't be outside. This will keep the atmosphere fun and ensure you don't get bored if it rains one day!
