Travel Packing List For Your Holidays – Camping/Glamping Edition

One of those holidays I used to do with my best friend when I still was at primary school was camping. I loved it back then. We had such fun on one of the islands in The Netherlands.

I don't know if I would go camping again, but these memories I will cherish forever in my memories. I definitely will find photos back from that time. Sleeping in a tent was a little bit creepy as well.

One memory is on my forehead: we had some bread, and we left in out behind the tent. One morning there was no bread while we just bought a new one. The next day we did the same. And in the morning, our bread was gone again. Later, we saw cows coming through a hole in the hedge. Behind the camping, there was a farm, not closed. So, one plus one is two.

Camping or Glamping

Before you're going to camp, choose what is best for you: going to a camping and stay in a tent, or going to a camping or a family park to stay in a glamping house. I never stayed in a glamping house, and thus on my wish list.

Glamping is staying in a tent, but on woods with real beds and like a family holiday house.

When you are camping you need other things as well. Here is a list that you need to take with you.

1. Car or camper
2. Clothes and shoes
3. Food for on the road
4. Medicines
5. Tickets for your holiday destination
6. Tent supplies

Car or camper

These supplies are needed for when you stay in a tent or a glamping tent. You have to think whether you take your car with you and drive all the way through your destination with your camper behind the car, or you are going to your destination as a driver in a camper where the driving seat is in the vehicle itself.

1. Driver's license car and/or camper
2. Spare car keys (with new battery)
3. Vehicle registration certificate
