Camping Hacks, Tips and Tricks on Frugal Coupon Living. Creative camping ideas to simplify your memorable family outdoor trip.

Camping Hacks, Tips and Tricks

Camping? Going to the great outdoors. Whether you are an expert camper or a novice, like me, anyone can use a little camping hacks, tips and tricks. Learn the best way to store eggs, see how to keep that toilet paper dry, or see how much light expands when you create a lantern out of a gallon jug (no cutting required!) You might love these tips so much you are taking some of them to the home, beach or your next picnic.

Also check out our Overnight Camping Hacks and Tips!

Happy Camping!

camping-survival

Create your own  Camping Survival Kit from The Benson Street. We see some great goods like duct tape, bandages, hand sanitizer and more!

camping-toilet

Make your own Camping Toilet with this Tutorial from A Thrifty Mom. To me, this trick is genius. Bring a lot of plastic grocery bags – double bag if they have holes!

rolled camp kitchen sew a straight line blog-6_thumb[16]

Organize your Kitchen with this Rolled Up Kitchen Guide from Today’s Creative Life. It looks like your entire ktichen neds are there!

Busy the Kids with their own Camping Journal and Logbook on Frugal Coupon Living. This can be on going and added to each year.

campfire-bombs

Make your own Campfire Bombs from Inspired by Family Mag. The will come in handy when you are ready to start the fire!

Pine-cone-fire-starter

Also try this Pinecone Campfire Starter Recipe from Today’s Creative Life. This idea appears a little bit more nature friendly.

toilet-paper

Store Toilet Paper in a Coffee Can from Life Hacker. Genius!

organized-camping

Stay Organized with a Mesh Hanging Organizer from Mama Momtourage. Nothiong worse than stuff all over the floor. This is a great way to be organized.

DIY-candle-stakes-2

DIY Outdoor Candle Stakes from a Subtle Revelry. This is great for a little glow.

Water Jug Light Hack for Camping

 

Turn a Water Jug into a Lantern Instructables. I have seen this used before – so genius. It makes an immediate lantern.

handwashing-station

How creative is this Hand Washing Station from Do It and How? Well there you go – clean hands for all!

water-jugs-ice

Instead of Ice, use Frozen Water Jugs – they make cold water later! Idea from Camping Blogger. That is smart, you have a nice gold drink later.

DIY-containers

Store your snacks in these DIY Snack Containers from Stockpiling Moms. Start saving the old coffee creamers.

soap-pouch

Stay clean with this DIY Soap Pouch from Whimsy Love. Rub a dub dub, get clean outta the tub!

plastic-bag-keeper

Looking for easy storage, how about this DIY Plastic Bag Keeper from Curbly. This goes great with the camping toilet.

flashlight-blank-camping-hack

Avoid the Bulky Duct Tape Roll and Wrap the tape around objects for easy access. Idea from Happy Money Saver. This idea is genius!

camping-scavenger-hunt

Create a game for the kids with this Camping Scavenger Hunt from Creative Homemakers.

welcome-mat

Bring a Welcome Mat to keep Dirt Out of the Tent from My Clever Nest. This will keep the mess out of the tent – I hate sand all over my floor – dirt is only for the outdoors!

Matches 2

Place Matches in a Mason Jar and place sandpaper on top for a strike from Like to Love. Looks like this will last awhile.

yoga-mat

A Yoga Mat makes a Great Cushion for your sleeping bag from The 3 Day. Make sure it is thick!

eggs

Keep Scrambled Eggs in an Old Coffee Creamer Container from Lifehacker. This is truly genius. Breakfast anyone?

cork-keychain-smaller

If going near the water, place a Cork on Your Keys so they float from Green Moxie. (this is also in our Beach Tips & Tricks!)

tomato-ketchup_300

Repurpose an old Ketchup Bottle for Pancake Mix from Real Simple.  Save your old ketchup bottles!

toddler-tub

Turn your Storage Bin into a Toddler Tub from Living on Latte. I have seen this used at the beach too. At a public beach, fill up before going down to the sand. Play all day and when you get back, your tub of water will be nice and warm for a bath before going home!

shower-lanyard

Make Individual Shower Lanyards from The Pop Up Princess. Everyone can easily identify their bath supplies! I could see this as a fun gift if a large group of friends are camping together. The lanyard all keeps the loofah out of the dirt and off the ground.
