10 Camping Hacks Everyone Should Know

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – Summer is the perfect time to go camping, especially in Northern Michigan! If you’ve planned any camping trips this season, be sure to read our list of 10 camping hacks everyone should know! We think these tricks will make your outdoor experience easier and more convenient.

1. Gallon Jug Lamp

If you fill a gallon jug with water and strap a headlamp facing toward the inside, you can set the makeshift lamp on a table or in your tent to create more ambient light.

2. Toothpaste Dots

Instead of carrying a whole tube of toothpaste with you, create small toothpaste dots on wax paper and sprinkle with baking soda to dry a few days before your trip. Then you can peel them off and take them in a smaller container for brushing your teeth.

3. Pre-whisk Eggs

To save yourself the hassle of whisking your eggs at your campsite, you can mix them before you go and store them in a plastic container. This also saves the trouble of cracked eggs in the cooler.

4. DIY Fire Starters

Never struggle to get the fire going again! Just stuff some empty toilet paper rolls with lint from the dryer and light with a match!

5. Store Snack in Plastic Containers

Instead of bringing bags or boxes of snacks, transport your snacks into plastic containers before leaving home. This will keep your snacks dry, fresh, and safe from crunching!

6. Store Plastic Cutlery and Napkins 

Use a recycled drink holder to keep plastic cutlery and napkins organized.

7. Store Matches in Mason Jar

Before leaving home, move matches from their cardboard box to a mason jar. This will keep them safe and dry. Be sure to buy strike anywhere matches and glue a piece of sandpaper to the lid of the jar!

8. Prepare Salad in To-Go Cups

For an easy camping lunch, prepare chopped salad in plastic to-go cups. The cups will keep the salad fresh and the straw hole makes a nice fork holder.

9. 2-Liter Toilet Paper Holder

Keep your toilet paper dry and accessible by transforming a 2-liter container into a TP holder. Just cut off the bottom and excess plastic, insert toilet paper, and pop the bottom back on!

10. Collapsible Trash Can

Use a collapsible mesh laundry basket lined with a trash bag to make a lightweight trash can. This will keep the bag accessible and the trash contained!
