The best place to pitch your tent?
Campsites can be organised, or spur of the moment. But there are some considerations that need to be taken into account before you commit to a camping site.Here we’ll examine the basics of how to choose one.
A suitable campsite can’t be chosen easily.One that may suit some may not suit others. However, there are some basics that you should be aware of before you set up your tents for the night.
A camping site means only 2 things. The first is an organised campsite that people go to camp, which has facilities such as running water, showers, toilets, perhaps washing machines and even a shop.If you want a campsite with these extras, just remember that extra facilities attract more people so more noisy nights.You may find larger sites offer entertainment or a bar, and these can get noisy at night.If this level of noise appeals, this type of campsite will suit, but if not select a quieter maybe smaller site.
The second type of campsite that you will come across is a site that you choose to pitch your camping tents, which is not an organised campsite. This may be in a farmer’s field or a wide piece of open land.Always ask permission if it is a field.Never assume you can pitch your tent without checking with the landowner first.
Choosing an isolated place can be nice but lack water for washing and drinking.Bottled water is fine, but don’t forget about water.Don’t forget about the toilet arrangements.A pub nearby is rather nice but always remember the need for toilets!
Flooding is an awful experience so avoid camping in valleys.Also be careful of water – lakes, rivers and canals can attract rats and insects.
But so long as you consider the issues above and choose what is right for you and for your needs, then you should have a great experience camping and have a comfortable stay.
