Packing Essentials for a Spring Glamping Getaway
Packing for a spring glamping trip can have its challenges. The weather is warmer, but the winter cold still lingers, so it’s important to pack appropriately. You’ll also want to bring the right gear for activities in the milder weather. Here are some packing essentials to keep in mind while planning your spring glamping trip:
- Clothing – Layer-up: Spring weather can be unpredictable, so it’s a good idea to bring layers of clothes to adjust to temperature changes throughout the day. A light jacket and pullover can become very handy. You should also consider packing some comfortable footwear, both for hiking and sitting around the campfire.
- Bug Repellant: Springtime brings warmer weather and with that come bugs! Be sure to pack some insect repellant and as an extra measure bring long-sleeved tops to protect yourself.
- Sun Protection: It’s sunny in spring, so make sure to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and some sunscreen.
- Other Gear: If you’re planning on cooking outdoors, bring a set of lightweight cookware. A cooler can be handy on longer hikes or picnics. Finally, if you’re planning on observing wildlife, bring along a good set of binoculars.
With the right gear in hand, you’ll be set to enjoy an unforgettable and safe springtime glamping getaway. Are you ready to get started on your next spring glamping experience? Spots are limited, so be sure to book your spring stay as soon as possible. We look forward to hosting you this spring!
