Select the Right Destination

Since this is a special day, you must focus on picking the camping place which both of you would love. There are a plethora of options available to choose from – caves, mountainsides, seashores, dense woods and so much more. Consider a place you both can enjoy and offer optimum privacy for you.

Imagine the Perfect Night

Before you start planning, visualize the perfect camping night. Having a mental image will help you in determining the things you would need to make the trip memorable. Do you want a string of lights? Should you put up a hammock? What meal would you and your partner enjoy? If you have to hike to the spot, keep in mind you won’t be able to carry a lot of things. Plan accordingly.

Don’t Forget the Snuggle Bunnies

Take plenty of pillows and cushions, as well as blankets to make the most cozy and comfy space for you two to snuggle up. Make sure you include knits and wools to stay warm on a cool night.

Select the Music

Of course, nothing can compare to the sound of birds chirping but with the right background music, you can set a perfect mood. You can create your own ambiance with a playlist of songs that have sentimental value for you both.

Heat It Up

A camping trip isn’t complete without hot cocoa and/or coffee. Pack in the supplies to create a perfect cup to enjoy. Chop up and melt some chocolate in a saucepan, and sprinkle some seasoning like caramel or cinnamon and mix with hot milk.

Have the Right Supplies

Your trip won’t be complete without food! But you need to make sure that you pack up easy to clean, durable and lightweight dinnerware to enjoy your food in. Make sure you have some extra plates with you. Take a foldable table to set and enjoy a romantic dinner.

Plan the Meal

You can look up easy and delicious quick recipes online to get inspiration for a perfect meal. Don’t forget to take some snacks along to munch on while exploring the wilderness or just gazing at the stars.

Sweeten Up the Night

Complete a romantic dinner with something sweet. Include a dessert or simply roast marshmallows to enjoy by the campfire. Be sure to pack a bottle or two of the finest wine to make the camping day experience truly unforgettable.
