Our Verdict
TheIuoov Portableis one of many battery-powered showers on the market for a price that's hard to beat, making it our Best Buy Award winner. It stands out from the rest with its simple design that's uncomplicated to use. The pump and battery are housed together and provide a comfortable and consistent stream of water. The wide showerhead can be hung or suctioned to a nearby object and makes a great outdoor dog bath or backyard post-pool rinse. While its hose is a bit short and the pump is too large to fully drain your bathwater bucket, it's still one of the nicest and most versatile outdoor showers we tested.
Our Analysis and Test Results
Theluoovis a battery-operated camping shower that must be paired with a bucket or other water-holding mechanism for use. It's USB rechargeable in just a few hours and comes with a 5' 9.5" hose that provides a 2.1" wide spray. It also features two attachments to let you hang or suction the showerhead for handsfree use.
Performance Comparison
Comfort
If you're looking for a shower you can use outside that's just as comfortable as the one in your bathroom, theIvationis what you want. It has a wide showerhead with evenly spaced holes that don't force the water out in little needles. It turns on and off with the simple click of a button on the pump housing (located in your bucket of water).

The battery pump provides nonadjustable, even, comfortable pressure that's strong enough to clean shampoo out of the dog's fur. Unlike many other camping showers that start out with strong pressure and fade to a trickle, theluoovis steady. We repeatedly left this shower running for its entire battery life and are impressed by its consistent pressure throughout.
A lot of showers don't have a hands free option and require you to purchase an extra pole or entire tent to rig up your nozzle. Theluoovonce again bucks the trend by including not one buttwomounts for the showerhead. A hook allows you to use a branch or fence for suspension, while the suction cup works great on car and patio windows.
We would like to see a slightly longer hose, though. From the base of the hose on top of the pump to the center of the showerhead is just 6.5 feet. While this is plenty for children and dog washing, taller folks may be less enamored by having to stoop to avoid pulling the pump out of the water bucket. Our main tester is 5'4" and has no problems using the luoov next to its bucket, but those 5'10" and over loudly wished for a longer hose.
Functionality
When it comes to the technical specs, theluoovis once again an impressive contender. With a 2.5" wide showerhead boasting 2.1 inches between its farthest holes, we measured this powerhouse pumping an impressive 1.2 gallons per minute.

While this is excellent for comfort, it does mean your bucket of water will drain rather quickly as you rinse. In fact, to bathe a 75-pound dog, we actually filled a 60-quart chest cooler just to be sure we had enough water. You're much more likely to run out of water before you run out of battery, as we clocked this shower averaging 52 minutes of continuous run time, but it will empty a 5-gallon bucket in about 4 minutes.
It does take a good chunk of time to charge back up again, though. The directions say 2-5 hours, and recommend using a 5V charging block (not included) to achieve the fastest time. Doing exactly that, we repeatedly needed just over 3 hours to fully recharge theluoov. If you're out camping and recharging it using your car ports (which charge at a lower voltage), it will take longer. Fortunately, a switch from a red light to a blue light easily lets you know when your unit is fully charged.
And this shower doesn't do anything to the temperature of the water in your preferred receptacle. On the one hand, it's fairly easy to boil a few kettles of hot water in the campground to add to cold water, creating a pleasant temperature. On the other hand, if you don't have a method to heat water, you'll be stuck with whatever temperature you've got.
Ease of Set Up
Not all necessary items are included with the purchase of yourluoov Portable Camping Shower. It lacks both a bucket and a charging adapter. If you're planning to use this around home or on a car camping trip, you've probably got a spare bucket or can pick up one of those "camp sinks" to save space. With the prevalence of smartphones and other technologies these days, you've most likely already got a charging block lying around too. So we don't count it too much against this model that it doesn't come with those items, but you still have to assemble them.

However, if you've ever been asked to carry a 5-gallon bucket full of water, you'll know this is a great way to get your feet wet. We much prefer filling smaller buckets and kettles and using those to fill the pre-placed larger water container. But that's just one more piece of equipment.
Unlike pretty much every item sold with a battery, theluoovcomes with clear and helpful directions that are short, to the point, and easy to follow. It directs assembly, suggests safe usage, and even tells you how to take it apart to clean the filter. It reminds you not to turn it on until the pump has filled with water and describes how to easily drain the shower for storage. It's not bad to set up if you have all the pieces required, but in certain situations (like trying to cross 15 campsites lugging a 5-gallon bucket of water), it's less than ideal.
Durability
We found very few details regarding what theluoovis made out of aside from its 2200 mAh Lithium battery. However, it doesn'tfeellike a shower that could be backed over with your car. The hose isn't totally flimsy but easily squishes flat under the weight of a cooler lid and kinks if left folded overnight.

The orange plastic housing of the battery and pump is totally adequate but not particularly inspiring. We didn't have any durability issues during our testing, other than temporary hose kinks, but it's just not as beefy and impressive as many of the much more rugged models we tested.
To be thorough, we also scoured the internet for user complaints to see what other issues might crop up. Several people reported one of our fears — the plastic breaking — particularly around the attachment point for the showerhead. Numerous other people reported their unit stopped working after a time. Though we can't say why that happened, we do have one theory as to how itcould. The charging port is plunged underwater every time you use it. It's got a half-twist cap meant to keep it dry during use, but the cap has no rubber seal of any kind — just plastic on plastic. It seems like just a matter of time until, whether through user error or actual material degradation, water may seep into the charging port.
Portability
Theluoovshower alone is fairly lightweight and easy to keep in its box and tote around wherever you need it. It weighs just over 20 ounces (or a pound and a quarter) and packs easily back into its 9.25" x 8.25" x 2" box.

However, it requires quite a few additional parts and pieces that, depending on what style you use, make it less portable. If paired with a lightweight solar panel for charging and a packable camping sink to hold water, it's fairly easy to pack along on a camping trip. But, if paired with a standard 5-gallon bucket, it's significantly more obnoxious to cart around.
Value
When it comes to camping showers, there is aHUGErange of prices you might pay for shockingly different types of showers. TheLUOOVis one of the least expensive options available and one of the most comfortable. We love what this shower has to offer and think it is a very high-value item.
Conclusion
Theluoov Portableis a super comfortable shower that's easy to use and love for a low price, making it a natural choice for our Best Buy Award. This battery-powered model is an excellent choice for using around your home and yard.

The LUOOV is also impressively functional, offering up 1.2 gallons per minute. This is only hampered by the size of the water-holding container you pair with it, which also will determine the length of your shower. Using a 5-gallon bucket, we found we had plenty of water for a full shower. The WaterPort Weekender is another great option, akin to having a coiled garden hose coming off the roof of your car. Just like the RoadShower, it pressurizes when filled from a hose and can be repressurized using a hand pump or air compressor.
The luoov boasts a long-lasting battery and a wide showerhead. Credit: Maggie Brandenburg Differently, the CampergearX Pro shower is also extremely functional. Its pressure depends partly on the pressure of water coming into the unit from your outdoor hose but can also be controlled by a knob on the unit's body. As it's heating the water passing through the unit, rather than a tank of stored water, you can adjust the temperature of the water coming out with near-instant results, just like your bathroom shower.

OUTDOOR Showers with exceptional value (defined by a stellar balance of price and performance) are the Ivation Portable, Sea to Summit Pocket, and the Advanced Elements Summer. In some cases, the upgraded experience is worth investing a bit more into your gear. The NEMO Helio Pressure Shower offers a seriously upgraded showering experience without paying top dollar, making it a solid value for those who need versatility and a little extra comfort and usability. If you're willing to invest in a truly great shower, the LUOOV Shower costs a bit more but is well worth the investment for serious road trippers and weekend warriors.]]>

And with an impressively high rate of flow (1.2 gallons per minute), you're more likely to run out of water before battery power. But if you don't mind repurposing a cooler or empty bucket, setting this shower up in the backyard is a cinch. We have some worries about the charging port, which is located under a plastic cap on the pump housing. Fully submerging this seems like tempting fate if you forget to secure that cap even just once — or if you break it. We also would love to see a bit longer hose, as this one is just shy of 6 feet. Yet even as it is, we love how satisfying this shower is to use, and we don't mind saving a few bucks for this convenient backyard rinse station.]]>

Always Be Prepared
Camping is a fun activity for the whole family; however, it can also be an unpleasant experience for people who do not prepare their gear in advance. Inexperienced campers often find they forget simple things such assoap, a soft comfortable bed, insect repellent, or enough clothes to prevent chills. There are plenty of websites to teach you How to prepare for your first camping trip without spending a small fortune on basic items. The first and most logical thing to do is to decide where you want to go and why you want to go there? Those questions are important because they will help you to decide what to take with you. Experts will help you to choose the right tent for your loved ones when you need them to. It is wise to shop around to ensure you receive the best deal imaginable.
Shelter
It is also wise to count the pegs, ropes, and other equipment to ensure your tent is secure during your weekend away. There is a wide variety of tents to choose from which makes it hard to decide whether one is better than another. The first thing to do is to think about who is likely to need space inside it. There are small tents for individuals and couples as well as larger ones for the whole family to enjoy. People assume size doesn’t matter as long as everyone can fit inside their shared tent. Unfortunately, that assumption is inaccurate. Size does matter because everyone needs a comfortable sleep, otherwise, their adventure will become a tiresome chore they would not wish to repeat.
Technology is Your Friend
Mobile phones are great because they help you to organize your camping trip without fuss. They provide you with reminders, calendars, and other resources to ensure your camping experience is pleasurable, rather than an unforgettable chore. While your mobile phone will not remind you to take everything except the kitchen sink, it will help you to plan your camping trip so you can confidently enjoy nature without worrying about anything. Ask your friends to call you to see whether you need something and to provide you with advice before, during, and after the trip.
The best thing to do is to make the experience as painless as possible and technology will do exactly that. More importantly, digital technology can help you find the perfect place to appreciate the local flora and fauna. Physical lists are also helpful because they help you to decide what to take as well as add those simple, yet important items you may not have thought about. The best way to know whether you have too much gear is to pack your car a day or two in advance as that will help you to decide whether you need those just-in-case items.

It can be difficult to keep kids of different ages occupied while camping. The following is a list of games and activities that can be easily adapted to suit all ages.
Scavenger Hunts are fun and can be easily adapted to suit the age of the people playing. When playing with younger people the list can be made with pictures or using the letters of the alphabet to incorporate some learning into the game. Lists can be made easily or found on websites such as Pinterest.
The campfire is a staple when camping. It is a great way to connect without technology. There are several games that can be played around a campfire. Some of these are: Singing songs, Shadow Puppets, roasting marshmallows, telling stories as well as wink murder, I spy or Simon Says.
Catch or Don’t Catch: Similar to Simon Says. All you need is a ball and a voice. One person throws the ball to another and calls either catch or don’t catch, if the person catches the ball when don’t catch is called or vice versa they are out.
Glow In The Dark Ring Toss: The same as regular ring toss using glow sticks to illuminate the sticks and two thinner glowsticks to make the ring. A water bottle with a glowstick inside makes a great catch stick.
Duck, Duck Goose: A simple game that is both fun and great for fitness.
An obstacle course: creating an obstacle course can be done with or without equipment. Some equipment that can be taken with you is Hula hoops, skipping ropes, stepping stones, tunnels. Some things that can be used instead of equipment are sticks, rocks, tents, ropes.
Cards: There are many card games to play when out camping. Some of these are Cards against humanity (for the adults). There are also many traditional card games, for example, Gin Rummy, Poker, Blackjack, Go fish, war, all of these are played with regular playing cards and the instructions can be easily found on the web. UNO, Phase 10, and Skip-Bo, these usually require specific card decks, luckily, they do not take up too much space.
Pass The Water: A simple game. All that you need are some cups and water. Player line up and pass the water over their head to the player behind them. The person who passes the water then runs to catch the water at the end of the line. The aim of the game is to see how far you can travel before the water runs out.
Have a Dance Off. Be as creative and imaginative as you possibly can.
Squirt Gun Races: Again a simple game with little equipment. Simply place cups on their side as a target and shoot water into the cups. The first to get all their targets to fall wins.
Limbo: If you don’t have a broomstick a simple branch can be used.
Air Pong: Place cups on a table and blow into them and the first team to get all their cups off wins
Sleeping Bag Races: The same as sack races only with sleeping bags.
Night Frisbee: Attach a glowstick to a frisbee for a new twist on an old favorite.
Cornhole: Using beanbags to throw into a target made with a hole in a board. A camping adaption could be to use a gap in some trees or make a target out of branches. Get some glow-in-the-dark ones for night games!
Amateur Astronomy: can be done with or without a telescope. We like to see what patterns and constellations can be found in the night sky.
Kubb: A lawn game, which is a cross between bowling, bocce, and horseshoes. It involves knocking down wooden blocks which is always a hit with the kids. The kits can be found on Amazon or in some camping or sports stores.

When you are camping in your car, you may find that some areas are more comfortable to sleep in than others. Factors that can affect the maybe your height, the length of your legs, and how much headspace you need. If you find that you aren’t able to get comfortable enough for a good night’s rest when you are reclined in the front seat, try laying down the back seats and sleeping partly in the trunk. Depending on the size of your car, you may even be able to fit a compact air mattress in this section.
【LONG for LARGE CARS】: This mattress is 77 inches long and longer than other products. So it's the best choice for your SUV Trunks.
【Fits SUV and MPV models】exquisit flocking surface. It has 4 seperate air bags with separate air inlets. The design of this inflatable structure will decide the expand size of the bed after inflatable and be self-adjustment based on the size of the actual space. You can fully inflate the mat for multi person to use or partially inflate for single person,whichever best fits the back space of your SUV.
Vehicle Size Matters
Larger vehicles will have more room for you to sleep comfortably when you are camping in your car. That does not mean that you need to get a massive SUV or even a large sedan. It should be noted however that the larger the back seat and trunk, the more space you are going to have and be more comfortable. Trucks are great options for camping in your car, as they have the whole truck bed that can be utilized.
If you are comfortable with the area that you are camping in, you can simply place an airbed with essentials in the back of the truck. If you are worried about anybody sneaking up on you while you sleep, you have the option to cover the truck bed as well; this is as close to a bedroom that you can get when you are camping from your car.
Convert Your Car Into a (Very) Small Home
While on the subject of the versatility of trucks and the size of your car, it is possible to convert a car into a tiny home. One man in Los Angeles has been famously known for doing just that. In the camper of his truck, he installed a memory foam mattress, a small bookshelf, a butane stove, and even a small fridge. The great thing about cars, trucks, and SUV’s is that they have a power supply that you can tap into whenever you need to.
Pack Light
When you are camping in your car, you are going to really only be spending time in your car to sleep. One of the greatest parts about camping in your car is the ability to enjoy the great outdoors with the freedom to pack up whenever you are ready to travel to your next destination. In order to get the most from this, you should pack light. This will make it easier to pack up and leave and will give you more room for a better nights’ rest.
There is a ton of camping equipment out there that you can use in order to get the most out of camping from your car without taking up a lot of space. They have collapsable dishes, compact camping stoves, and even airbeds that you can deflate when you are not needing them.

If you spend a lot of time in your car when you are camping, it can start to feel like a second home. This is especially true if you are sleeping in your car when you are camping instead of using a tent. Why do people choose to sleep in their car when they are camping? For one, it does save costs on purchasing a tent and is more convenient while traveling.
When you are camping in your car, the great thing is that it can just be a place to sleep for you. If you bring some essentials for camping such as a camp stove, dishware, and food then you can spend the majority of your time enjoying nature and sleep in your car.
This way, you will be able to enjoy having some of the comforts of home with the benefits of being outdoors and camping. This also gives you the freedom to travel wherever you would like and spend the money on expensive lodgings, such as hotel rooms.
Additionally, if you are traveling and feeling sleepy, you can simply pull over into a campground and safely sleep in your car. This is great if you are one of those individuals that like waking up and going to sleep with the sun and does not place a lot of value on possessions. Before going camping with just your car to sleep, one thing should be addressed:
Is it Illegal to Sleep in Your Car?
The legality of sleeping in your car can depend on the county that the campground is in. In cities, sleeping in your car may be banned in an aim to lower the homeless population. However, the same laws and rules don’t necessarily apply when you are out camping in the wilderness.
However, to avoid any type of run-ins with the local police or the law, it is always a good idea to check with the municipalities for the region if sleeping in your car is allowed for that particular county. It should be noted as well that several states will allow overnight parking at a rest stop, while some do not.
To be safe, if you plan on camping in your car overnight it would be a good idea to do so in an actual campground. Or, a designated camping area will work as well; as long as it is alright for campers or RV’s to stay there overnight, then you should be fine. Outside of cities, you most likely won’t run into any sort of trouble with the law; with the exception of highway patrol if you are sleeping in your car just off the road.
If you feel like you are getting sleepy when traveling to your next camping destination, planning ahead would be advised. Additionally, knowing the camping areas that are on your way will allow you to further decide where you will be staying for the night while giving you peace of mind.
Is it Safe to Sleep in Your Car?
Even though criminals won’t generally target someone who is sleeping in their car (and you are far more likely to encounter anyone like this while camping), you can still feel vulnerable. The good news, however, is that there are precautions that you can take while you are camping from your car that you can take in order to give yourself some peace of mind. As you sleep in your car, you will want to make sure that there is also proper ventilation. This can be easily done by cracking one or two windows, or opening the sunroof (if you have one).
There are two main ways to protect yourself when you are camping in your car that experts suggest:
Camouflage Yourself – this can be done in a variety of different ways; with tinted windows, blankets or tarps, and possessions pulled up around you. Basically, anything that will make it appear like there is not a person that is vulnerable when they are asleep will help to keep you safe. This is less of an issue when you are camping in the wilderness, but should still be addressed depending on your surroundings.
Choose a Safe Location – When you are camping in your car, you will want to try to pull in farther from the road as you can. If you are sleeping somewhere that isn’t considered to be designated for camping like a rest stop, make sure that you are close to a light or other vehicles.
There are other dangers to camping in your car that are not related to people. For instance, there was a case in New Jersey where a woman slept in her car in between her shifts at her three different jobs. According to the New York Times, there was one night in 2014 that she was asleep in her car as normal and a gas container tipped over. This filled the car with fumes that ended up killing her as she slept. Sleeping in your car with the engine can also cause dangerous fumes to fill the car, which can be fatal.
As long as you are aware of the potential hazards of sleeping in your car, you can easily avoid all of them. The most dangerous aspect will be from the fumes if your car is on or if there is no proper ventilation, as well as the people that are around you. Again, if you are camping you will be less likely to encounter anyone who seeks to cause you harm than you would if you are sleeping in your car in a populated area.

Consider using our useful guides to help plan your next adventure!
Taking a shower in the morning or evening is a great way to start and end your day respectively. While at the campsite, you need to have a shower set up for you to enjoy this basic luxury. When in a camping or hiking expedition, the weight and amount of gear that you carry along are always important. Therefore, you cannot carry shower gear that will take too much space at the campsite. But since your hygiene is also important, you will have to find ways to create a simple camp shower that is also budget-friendly at the same time.
The following are some of the best setups for simple camp showers that are also budget-friendly. You can try out any of them using some of the equipment that you bring along to the campsite. They include;
The LUOOV bucket shower
This is a classic setup for a camp shower. It is very easy and simple to set up since you only need to fill your canvas bucket with hot water. The canvas bucket should have a shower rose at the bottom. Then you can hoist the bucket into a tree or your recreational vehicle so that the water can flow down through the shower rose. This setup requires little technology so you cannot encounter any problems while setting it up. You only need to heat the water first before and find a rope or wire to suspend your shower and you are good to go.
This is another simple camp shower setup. In this setup, you will need bags that have a small rose and an attachment of a hose. The bags should be black or dark-colored so that they can absorb heat to warm your water. They should be filled with water and left in the sun for approximately 3 hours so that the water is heated fully and be ready for use in the camp shower. After that, you should hoist these bags onto a tree as well and shower with it. The nozzle or hose is usually handheld by the individual who is taking a shower. This type of set up for a camp shower is too heavy to be supported by a shower tent so you won’t have to buy one. You will only have to improvise on the screen when taking your shower.
The 12V electric shower is a light and easy setup to use for a camp shower. You only need detachable hoses and a 12V pump that will be placed inside a bucket of warm water. The pump will offer enough pressure to pump the water when the bucket is near the showerhead. The shower rose used in this particular set up is light and therefore can be suspended inside a shower tent. It can also be used when handheld which makes it more versatile. The water should be warmed first if you prefer a hot shower.
This particular method comes in handy when you don’t have any showers around but you have good access to water. You will only need to fill a dry bag with enough water for you to shower. The dry bag should be improvised to make a basin by rolling it down. This will provide you with sufficient water to clean yourself and even clothes. The water can be heated before using it to shower.
Using a cup or bowl
This is another simple method that is very useful in circumstances where the water supply is insufficient in a campsite. With a bowl or cup, you can ration your water and save enough for cooking or drinking. You first need to fill your cup or bowl with water. Then with some soap and a towel, you can wash until the water runs out.
There are many setups that you use to get your campsite shower setup up and running. Some of these will require that you buy a shower or a shower tent for them to be complete. The above setups are the most simple to use especially when you are on a tight budget. They also help in saving you water in areas where it is scarce. Always remember not to pollute the environment when setting up and using your camp shower.

Wet Naked Polyamorous People! Did THAT get your attention? I sure hope so.This from the Department of Yucky Water Stuff...
One of the perks of joining Poly Paradise is we provide community shower space for our members and provide safe and ecologically responsiblewastewater management.
In the past we have used Propane Powered devices, pumps and heaters to accommodate our campers shower needs. All of these systems have their failure points and need constant attention & repair throughout the week.
To reduce the frustration levels all around, we have decided to return to the more traditional LUOOV Camp Shower Bag.
The shower will consist of an enclosed tent along with towel racks, shoe changing deck and supplies storage all on a raised platform.
- Extra large filling valve with convenient twist off cap - Water temperature gauge. - Easy to use ON/OFF shower head saves water
Simplified operation, easy-fill transfer container and we will even have lighting for night use.
Anarchy Kamp is on the other side of BRC, so we have to deal with Rules and Regulations. Violations of any of these regulations will be dealt with in the usual, ghastly way.
1- Bring your own water, separate from your water commitment for community use. To maintain sanitation and safety standards use only drinking water from unopened containers. Others using the shower will thank you knowing only pure, clean water is in the system.
2- The empty shower bags will be hanging on a bar on the backside of the shower structure. Fill the bag with water (5 Gallons) and place the bag back on the bar. The bags have a temperature gauge so you can monitor how hot the water is before using.
3- If you encounter a shower bag hanging from the bar already filled with water, DO NOT assume this was filled for you. Take an empty bag, fill it with your water and wait for it to get to temperature. If all bags are in use, please wait your turn.
4- Clean up after use - We will have a trash sack for soap wrappers and other small stuff. Please do not leave small bars of soap, take them with you or trash them. Pick up the shower floor of any debris even if you didn't drop it.
5- Please remove your stuff after using the shower. You may leave consumables in the storage area if you write your name and the words "Personal use only" or "Not community property." If someone leaves consumables such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc. behind without marking, they will be considered community property and free use rules apply.
6- Take your towels and wash cloths when you are done - Like consumables, these items will become community items if you abandon them.
7- If you find any valuables such as nipple rings and such turn them over to Scotto or Trevor for safe keeping.
8- Absolutely NO wastewater dumping in the shower. No, repeat NO dumping of human waste in ANY part of our gray water processing system at ANY time! Dispose of human waste in the portos only.
9- The shower is open for operation 24 hours a day.
10- The shower system is for the exclusive use of Poly Paradise members only. The public may participate in the HCW experience if they desire.
11- The community shower may be shut down without prior notice. If conditions warrant, we may close the shower system prior to final shutdown on Monday.]]>
https://www.campergearx.com/de/blogs/camping/6-tips-for-camping-with-kids2020-12-09T22:25:49+08:002021-04-28T12:01:53+08:006 Tips for Camping with Kids,Camping with kids,Camping Tents, Sleeping Bags, Furniture, Bags & AccessoriesCheungMAX
Camping is an exciting activity that brings together everyone—friends, families and even strangers. But, with kids, camping is a whole new experience.
Despite being a different and fun-filled experience, camping with kids may stumble upon certain obstacles, which you must need to take care of.
If you are wondering what those things are, well, you have come to the right place as we are going to discuss six tips that everyone should keep in mind while camping with kids.
1. First thing first: Prepare the kids
While kids usually love to camp without any preparation, there are a few who might need some preparation regarding what they might expect in camping.
There are many ways you can easily prepare your kids for camping, and some of them are: reading out to them camp-themed storybooks, conduct a mock camp in the backyard, bring along portable night lights and headlamps, and take a couple of night walks around to prepare your kid to handle low-lit situations.
2. Packing the pantry
Most campers narrate quite woefully about their bad decisions of overloading their bag packs with all kinds of things but necessary things. It is important you take due caution while packing the pantry.
6 Best Meal Ideas When Camping with Kids.
Here are a few tips for doing this job efficiently:
You do not have to fill up all the food you have at home; select out only those which you will really need.
Always get rid of additional plastic and cardboard packaging on food—this will make the bag-pack light.
It is advisable you bring along mustard and mayo packets.
Label the food items for the safety of your kids.
3. Get a checklist
Acamping checklist is a mustwhen camping with kids. Kids are forgetful at times and lose things behind. In order to keep a check on what you have, a checklist will be really helpful.
Kids need a number of things: portable high chairs, water bottles, jammies, binkies, sun hats, and whatnot.
Before you leave for camping, double-check your list to ensure you have not missed out on anything.
4. Playtime
While camping is an engaging experience, kids do get bored at times, and in order to keep them engrossed, you will have to come up with a few games.
You can bring along a number of things such as card games, frisbees, nerf football, small trucks, sand toys, bubbles, whiffle balls, dominoes, scrabble, Blokus, crazy eights, etc.
5. The First-Aid Kit
You cannot absolutely miss out on First-Aid kit. You are out there in the wilderness and anything can happen, especially to your children who have the natural disposition of wandering off and meddling with strange objects around.
While preparing your First-Aid box, make sure you do not forget to keep a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers—kids often get splinters in their feet and hands.
6. The Duct Tape
Even the NASA astronauts cannot forget duct tape while on a tour to outer space, so you should probably take one to your camping trip.
Duct tape serves many purposes such as covering a hot patch on the heel of the child, pitching a tent, immobilizing a wounded finger, etc.

But if you camp a night with your Children it will deepen your relationship with them. Therefore take some time out of your busy schedule and take your children out for camping and give them the chance to experience the beauty of nature.
Children also need some time out of their busy schedule. Rather than spending their time with electronic gadgets take them out for a camping which will help them to learn new things from nature.
Here are some of the tips that might help you to make your camping experience better with your children.
Planning is the first step to make your dream adventure come true. Plan early to avoid the last minute hassles. Plan where you want to camp, how are you going to reach there or what are the things required for your camping days. It is also necessary for you to make sure that your child carries all their important things in their own backpacks.
2. Plan for a family friendly Campsite
Before making any quick decisionsabout the campsiteensure you have done a proper research about the campsite. Make sure that your children will be safe and happy at that campsite. Check if the emergency services will be available or not if in case you might need it.
3. Bring enough supplies for your camp days
Children love to eat chocolates, cakes, and other snacks. Make sure you have enough snacks to keep them contented. Along with that bring other food supplies to have a wonderful meal with your family.
4. Carry wipes and Medicines
Your children will get dirty outside and it will not be possible for you to bath them and clean them again and again. Therefore, keep the wipes handy for your children; clean them with it whenever necessary. There are also chances that your children might catch a cold or a cough. So, it is necessary to carry medicines for that situation. Mosquito repellent cream is also an important thing for your children to keep them away from mosquitoes.
5. Keep them entertained
Children might get bored in the outdoor without any activities. So in order to keep them busy and entertained carry some soft toys for them. You can also bring along some outdoor games. But if you are planning for some safari and sightseeing a Binocular will be perfect for your children.
6. Keep your children safe
Safety of your Childrenshould be always your concern. Keeping an eye on them will ensure you that they will not land up in trouble, but safety does not always mean that you will prevent them from doing everything they want.
7. Engage your Children
Young age is the best age to learn new things. Therefore, give them some task which will help them to learn and adapt to nature. Give them to collect some firewood from nearby or give them the responsibility to toast some marshmallow. Engaging the children in the small task will help them learn new things and explore their potentials.

Camping heaters are something you will obviously need when the outside temperature gets colder on your camping trip. A night out in the mountains can get quite chilly even in the summer time. And if you plan to camp around out of the warm season a heater will keep you nice and warm, well at least during the night, assuming that you'll stay outside for the rest of the day.
There are many different models to choose fromand you'll probably find some of them at your local stores. But the Internet is the place where you can compare different models, read the reviews and then decide which model works best for you.
The basic technology behind these appliances hasn't changed a lot in decades. Of course they consume less energy and are quieter while keeping you warm, but that's just about it.
You will find a lot of different camping heaters around the world and it's hard to pick out the best one. There is no such thing anyway.
You can choose between for different types:
Inexpensive electrical heaters
Inexpensive portable propane heaters
Diesel or regular fuel powered heaters
Propane/butane furnaces
All the above can be used for any kind of camping experience, either camping in a tent, camper van conversion or any other RV.
The LUOOV compact and portable camping heaters 900Wcan of course can be used anywhere else you might need them. In most cases they run on small propane bottles therefore eliminating the need for any hosing.
Do you need heating in your workshop, mountain cabin, garage or any other place you can think of that needs to be warmed up? Some of these will most likely be more than able to help you out.
the Portable Propane Heater just might be a great solution.
Larger furnacessuch as the regular fuel or diesel powered Webasto or Eberspacher can be used in camper vans or any other kind of RV's, trucks, boats and working machinery heaters. If you're more environmental you can have a propane powered furnace such as the BritishPropex, EuropeanTrumaor the AmericanSuburban.
They all of course need some kind of energy supply in order to make them run. It all depends on the type of camping you have in mind.
If you will enjoy a long and permanent stay in a camping trailer at your favorite camping site for example, a large variety of electrical units will do the job.
Staying far from the civilized world, boondocking or wild camping will require a gas or diesel appliance, unless you have a high power camping generator.
You can pick from a variety of heatersfor different RV purposes. or you can always consider one of these compact portable units forheating your tent.
These three sources of power will produce heat when needed:
Propane or Butane gas
Diesel or regular fuel
Electric power (AC/DC)

Preparingeasy camping foodis not that complicated. All you need is some practical and a few camping food ideas.Visit the local open marketsor the fish market, and you'll get some ideas in no time.
And what isthe best food to take camping?Just about anything you can think of as long as it is easy and simple to prepare.
There are a few different ways to prepare food out in the nature...
Gas stoves and grills are the most practical solution. You can get a single or a double burner model and hook it up either to a small disposable propane cartridge or a larger propane bottle.
Charcoal grills are handy if you don't want to bother with running around searching for wood all the time.
Cooking or grilling over a camp fire is a back to basis kind of thing, where you'll have to find some dry wood if you want to get the fire going on. It takes some time to get started, but the food over a campfire grill does taste so much better...
If you already have a lot of mouthwatering easy camping recipes up your sleeve, feel free to share them here!
You can buy all yourcamping cooking equipmentin a camper store or any other store and places such as the internet for example. But I'll bet you have some useful equipment already at home. This is a great time to browse through the kitchenware that you keep back home and find out what you can use on your camping trips!
Camping Kitchen Recipes
Forcamping recipesI use the same practical solution that I use in everyday life.I try to be creative and cook whatever I have in stock.Simple as that! A very long time ago I found out, that cooking by the book is useless, because it's impossible to have all the ingredients at the palm of your hand. That's why I improvise a lot with what I have.
Cruising around the Adriatic and Mediterranean sea in my camper van is my favorite leisure time.
Mediterranean foodis known world wide to be one of the healthiest diets for your body and soul. And this is where I get my inspiration for camping food ideas.
I check out the local farmers and fisherman and don't forget the open markets when I have a chance to do so. I stop by the road, when I spot the locals selling their products. Just might have to bargain a bit, but the taste of the home made products will make every effort worthwhile.
This is where you'll get your camping food ideas from. Don't forgetthe spicesthough, salt, pepper, parsley, basil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, chilly pepper and curcuma all have strong benefits in your diet and will make your food much more tasty.
Remember that your creativity makes the camping kitchen worthwhile.

If you have nothing else to use or forgot everything back home, well,fill ordinary plastic bottles with waterand put them somewhere on the sun. The dashboard of your van might be a proper place to heat up the water. Very basic idea, but it will freshen you up a little bit.
Another great and inexpensive portable shower idea is the use of an ordinaryplastic garden sprayerused to mist plants or trees with insecticides and herbicides. They are available in a variety of different sizes in any hardware store.
Fill it up with water, pump the handle a few times for water pressure, adjust the nozzle and you'll get a pressurized shower! You can laugh all you want, but I actually picked up this camp shower idea from sailors that sail around the globe.
As you know, water resources on a sailing boat are pretty much scarce and garden sprayers are real water savers!
Luoov solar showeris one of the most popular camping showers. The inexpensive, lightweight and folding plastic bag comes in a few different sizes as far as water capacity goes.
Fill it up with water, hang it on a tree or somewhere on your camper van and leave it under the sun for a few hours, so the water heats up. When you need a shower, turn the nozzle and enjoy the warm, low- pressure rinse.

Hiking or walking with poles is something I pretty much do on regular bases with my dog on trails around my home village. Hiking gear is quite simple and consists of good walking shoes, appropriate clothing and a backpack for some water and food for longer hikes.
I always keep some basic gear in my camper van which is by the way clothing that I usually dress in to anyway. Living inSloveniaand having mountains just behind our house and the Adriatic sea only an hour away requires me to do so.
This is one of the most practical ways to enjoy your outdoor travels. Unless you wish to venture outdoors the rough way and to some very remote places of our planet, walking or hiking can be done just about anywhere. And it does not require other than the basic gear mentioned above. Therefore, please do enjoy nature whenever you can and at a very basic level.

Simply place the intake hose in the source of water available (river, lake or a canister) and take your shower.
If you have enough room in your vehicle and a lot of people and dishes to wash, there are some tough, heavy-duty propane heaters on the market. They are really designed for base camps, cabins or any other kind of professional use. The prices go around (US$45.00).
A luoov portable shower that really caught my eyeis the heat exchanger kit mounted permanently in the engine compartment of your vehicle. You need a water-cooled engine of course. The kit contains the heat exchanger, water pump, hosing and everything else needed for easy installation.
So connect the pump to your vehicles battery, warm up the engine, put the suction hose in the source of water (lake, stream or a bucket) and the heat exchanger will heat your shower water using the heat of the engine water circulation! This is with no doubt one of the must-have camper accessories for a real adventure. The prices go around €300.00 (US$450.00)

If you like to park your camper van far away from the crowds for a while, just the way I do, you'll eventually have to wash up yourself and sometimes even the dishes...
Actually I'm the type of person that loves to jump in lakes, streams or the blue sea after a good hike on a hot day if no form of camping showers are available, but that of course is not always possible.
And I love to keep matters as simple as they can be. There are quite a few portable shower solutions, suitable for camping, fishing, hunting or any other outdoor activity. When you do take a shower outside,please respect mother nature and use some natural soap.I find the soap made from olive oil residue pleasant for the skin and kind to the environment.
You might also want to consider a shower tent for some privacy if you like to stay in a camping site for longer periods of time. Just an idea.
