V-Day Camping Tips
1. Bring a double sleeping bag. 2-in-1 sleeping bags ensure that there aren’t many layers between you and your lover!
2. Set the mood with a campfire. Know before you go! Are fires permitted during this season? Will there be dry wood to burn or do you need to bring your own? How will you start your fire? Practice fire safety.
3. Pack all camping essentials. Camping exposes you to the elements. Bring warm layers, rain gear, food, camp stove, and a head lamp. Meeting your essential needs will set the stage for romance.
4. Bring a sweet treat. Sweet treats are a sure way to the heart. Hot chocolate or s’mores are camping essentials.
5. Find your dream campsite on Sēkr and ENJOY.
