Tips for Compiling Your Glamping Packing List

Start with a packing list template: This glamping packing list is a great starting point, but you’ll want to tailor it to your specific trip. Add or delete items as needed based on the glampsite you’re staying at, the activities you plan to do, and the length of your trip.

Make sure you have everything you need for your glamping trip, but don’t overpack: It’s important to have everything you need for a comfortable glamping trip. But there’s no need to bring your entire home with you! Pare down your belongings to the essentials and enjoy the simplicity of glamping.

Pack light: This goes hand in hand with not overpacking. You’ll want to pack light so you can easily carry your belongings to and from your glampsite. And trust us, you won’t miss those extra clothes or shoes once you’re enjoying the great outdoors!

Ask about what’s provided: Before you start packing, find out what’s included at your glampsite. Many glampsites provide some or all of the cooking supplies you’ll need, so you won’t have to bring everything with you.

Enjoy your glamping trip! Once you’ve successfully packed for your glamping trip, sit back and relax. You’re ready to enjoy a perfect getaway under the stars.

We hope this glamping packing list helps make your next outdoor adventure easy and enjoyable!
