Camping Guides

Want a camping holiday to remember for all the right reasons? Follow this advice:

• Set up in daylight - you'll avoid unpleasant surprises , like ant nests.
• Level, firm ground is important, but remember that water will pool at the lowest spot when it rains.
• Biting insects breed around water. Set up your camp at least 100 m away.
• Take a doormat. It's great for removing sand and soil before entering the tent.
• Position your tent so you sleep with your head higher than your feet.
• Locate the campfire downwind from your tent.
• Minimize messy washing up with wrap-up meals. Tortillas taste great and make handy plates.
• Try mess-free eggs on an open fire. Cut an orange in half and eat the pulp. Crack an egg into an orange skin and put it in the embers.
• A first aid kit is a must for any camping trip.
