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.

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.
