Tent Camping Hacks

#1 Assemble foam floor tiles on your tent floor.

Not only do these puzzle piece tiles offer a softer base and more cushion to sleep on, but they also provide a layer of insulation.

 

#2 Add padding under your sleeping bag.

Who says tent camping is limited to sleeping bags? Add extra softness and comfort with a cot, air mattress, or other sleeping pad. Campers have also used pool floats. And while you’re at it, bring your pillow and favorite blanket or quilt.

 

#3 Purchase a battery-powered lantern or make a tent light.

Light up the inside of your tent at night. You can create a tent light by using a water jug and headlamp. Simply fill a jug with water and wrap it with a headlamp, light facing inward.

 

#4 Store shoes in a basket at the tent entrance.

Keep dirt out of your tent by making it a rule for everyone to take off their shoes before entering. Leave all the shoes in a container.

 

#5 Set out an outdoor rug.

Another way to keep dirt out of the tent and add a bit of a cozy look to your campsite is with a colorful and equally durable, all-weather outdoor rug. Take off your shoes, sit out on your camping chairs, and enjoy a card game on your comfy rug.

Of course, tent camping isn’t the only way you can stay and play at Mark Twain Lake Jellystone Park™. Campers can opt for a spacious full hookup RV site, cabin, or room at The Steamboat Inn. However you and the family decide to camp, be ready for days full of exciting activities and events!
