Camping Tips
Involve the whole family at set up and pack up.
Make your first family camping trip a short one so as you can get to know you camper and
find where everything goes.
Rechargeable solar lights are better with small children than gas lights.
Give whistles to older children to use with responsibility.
Bring a battery operated baby monitor to allow yourselves some peace of mind outside
the tent.
Planning Tips:
National Parks and State Forests are great destination. For more information regarding
national parks, go to www.environment.gov.au or
www.atn.com.au
or even Google the
name of an area that you would like to know more about.
When choosing a camp site, make sure it is close to toilets and showers, and not too close
to garbage bins. Be mindful of peak season when planning destinations, and be sure to
plan advance reservations.
Familiarize yourself with your camper trailer before you leave home for the first time to
avoid any possible set up problems and put a system into place to make your time best
used.
Always confirm reservations the day before.
Check to ensure you have cash, identification, credit cards, maps, etc. before you leave
home.
Be self-sufficient and responsible. Search and rescue operations are costly.
Packing Tips:
Pack clothes in plastic bag, to avoid dampness from humidity.
Keep your camping only items in roller crates. Next time you pack you will be a step ahead.
Cooking tips:
Use long life canned/food supplies to reduce cooling needs.
Bring dry goods that are menu specific items, in labelled, air tight containers, then add
wet ingredients to them at a later date.
Bring frozen, precooked meal for the first night away.
Solar heated camp shower/ black plastic water containers are ideal to double up for hot
dish washing water/ showers.
Pre-cool all contents before packing in the fridge.
Place your esky in the shade, and cover with a wet, light coloured towel to keep contents
cooler for longer.
Camp Fires (if permitted):
Make sure your fire is completely out before you retire or leave the campsite. Extinguish your
fire completely. Stir the ashes and continue pouring water onto them until there is no smoke,
steam or hissing when the water hits. Make sure you are aware of any seasonal or
campground restrictions. If camping in National Parks / State Forests contact local park
services for information on restrictions.
