The more people camp with you, the heavier the load. You will need a bigger campground, extra food and other items to accommodate everyone. It really is a big job to plan an outdoor trip for a big team, but with the right techniques, you will be able to plan an exciting camping experience for each camp!
Allow these top 5 camping tips with a large group:
Decide on a good location for the camp
Where you camp will affect your general knowledge of tents, especially with comfort. An important question to ask is “Does your group have experienced camp owners?” and “Do you have children or adults with you?”
If not everyone is an experienced camp, choosing a private area or public place with resources (toilet, water and electricity) is fine.
Make a reservation in advance
You don’t want to make everyone happy just to find out that the campground you’re booking in can’t accommodate your entire team. It is important to do a thorough research on your chosen area and make bookings in advance. Make sure you are clear about the number of people camping. Also, familiarize yourself with the rules of the camp!
Choose a place full of activities
A great way to give a great outdoor experience to the whole group is to choose a place that offers many activities such as swimming, hiking, fishing, kayaking, bird watching etc. It is also good to prepare for other sources of entertainment such as building a campfire, playing games, hunting (for children) and more!
Give groups
It is important for each team member to carry the weight of responsibility, as camping on and off takes a lot of work, especially if you are in a large group. You can assign groups to specific tasks such as setup, breakfast group, dinner group, fire brigade, staff cleaning etc. If your group is small, you can make a plan and take turns doing those activities.
Prepare a meal plan
Cooking a large crowd is no easy task. It is best to create a group meal plan for the rest of your trip. Go for foods that can be prepared in bulk, such as soup and stew. Shopping in bulk will also save you money, so shop wisely before your trip!
Follow these quick camping tips with a great team and your trip will be a breeze!
