How to Camp Like a Princess

Kate and Ellie know it’s very important to take all the right things for a camping adventure. Here are their top tips!

• It can get very chilly at night in a tent, even during the summer, so always make sure you pack lots of blankets, jumpers, a woolly hat and big socks!
• It’s good to check the weather forecast beforehand and always pack a rain jacket, just in case…
• Always remember to take a torch – it can get very dark at night without any other lights. It’s also fun to use when telling stories
• Remember to look up! You should be able to see lots of stars at night. Can you can spot the Milky Way, or Orion’s Belt?
• Put something between the groundsheet and your sleeping bag to stop the cold coming up from the ground while you are asleep. An airbed, camp bed or camping mat all work well.
• If you’re going on any walks, or just fancy a nutritious snack, mix together peanuts, dried fruit and a few chocolate treats to make the perfect combination to nibble on!
• Remember to store your snacks, cakes and sweets in a tin – you don’t want to wake up and find any ponies or deers tucking into your treats!
