How to keep your bedding dry on your camping trip

Camping is all about going back to basics and enjoying the great outdoors. It is a great way to press reset, empty your mind of all your everyday stresses, and live without your normal luxuries for a few days. But there does need to be an aspect of order and organisation, and some basic housekeeping is needed. Modern tents have become hugely advanced and provide far more organisational facilities than they used to, but you are still living in a small, enclosed space, and separated from the elements only by a piece of canvass.

When planning a camping holiday you can’t rely on the weather being favourable so you need to apply measures to protect everything and keep essential items dry, and that includes your bedding.

Why keeping bedding dry is essential on a camping holiday

One thing you need to get used to on a camping trip is there is not much protecting you from the elements and your tent will feel cold at night. You will need plenty of warm clothes, even in summer, as the nights will be chilly.

Keeping your bedding dry and protected is essential on a camping holiday. Modern tents are very effective in keeping out the rain, but if you are coming in and out of the tent it can be hard to keep out the rain. It is important you can isolate your bedding to keep it dry and away from rain and moisture, otherwise, you are in for a pretty miserable time. 

How to keep your bedding dry on a camping holiday

Even if space is not necessarily restricted it is a good idea to pack your sleeping bag away each morning when you get up, along with any memory foam mattress you are using. This will ensure your bedding stays dry and clean. Items you should consider for a camping trip to keep your bedding dry include:

• Sleeping bag storage – Roll your sleeping bag up each morning and store it away neatly in a storage bag.
• Memory foam storage – If you sleep on a memory foam mattress, roll it up and store it away in a storage bag.
• Walking boots and wellies storage –Place muddy footwear in storage bags so you don’t trail mud and water into the tent.
