Tim Bullen, founder of The Secret Campsite in Lewes, has come up with a formula that he believes guarantees an enjoyable experience, regardless of the weather conditions and your location.<\/p>\n
And with millions of us looking for things to do this summer, now another staycation is a reality for the overwhelming majority, we thought we would share them with you, just in case \u2018luxury and style\u2019 are key considerations when you are making your holiday plans for July and August?<\/p>\n
It might sound obvious, but don\u2019t forget to pack your tent with all poles and pegs before you reach the campsite. If you have an air tent (the latest in camping technology, using inflatable beams to hold up the structure), don\u2019t forget to bring the pump. It\u2019s wise to pack the tent in the car last so that if it\u2019s raining you can keep everything else dry while you erect the tent.<\/p>\n
Make sure to have a professional-grade sleeping bag (or one of the latest zipless varieties with an integrated comforter). These have been developed through years of research and for that extra touch of class, spruce up your campsite with a cashmere throw!<\/p>\n
Lighting choices are key to any camping trip, providing a warm welcome to returning campers and the lighting you need when the campfire has been reduced to embers. Old-fashioned storm lanterns provide a great ambiance to any camp setting, but the higher-tech LED lamps are often more practical for long-term use.<\/p>\n
We all love the idea of sitting around the campfire on a log, discussing life\u2019s deepest moral questions, but these aren\u2019t solved quickly and logs aren\u2019t as forgiving as memory foam, so pack camping chairs \u2013 one for each of your party. Bamboo canvas chairs are lightweight and stylish and provide hammock-like levels of comfort.<\/p>\n
If you want something more versatile than the traditional camping stove, consider taking one of the lightweight and more efficient portable BBQs such as a stainless steel barrel-type model. Barbecuing is one of the most reliably popular forms of cooking if you are catering for a wide age group.<\/p>\n
It sounds so obvious, but tea and milk are essential on the campsite, but for coffee lovers, there are many portable coffee machines available that can bring the barista-style coffee experience to your camping trip.<\/p>\n
Cleanliness is an essential ingredient of a happy holiday, so make sure that wherever you go, the site is blessed with good showers and ample toilets (that flush). There\u2019s nothing worse than a bad loo experience to take the shine off a great time away.<\/p>\n
