With the financial crisis and the increasing prices of overseas vacation travel, more and more Australian families are going back to the basics – camping. It has become one of the most popular forms of family bonding and holiday in Australia.

There’s no denying that having an outdoor camping adventure is exciting and enjoyable. You’re out in the wild, one with nature, and spending a good time by yourself or with a few friends or family members. But just because you don’t have access to the usual amenities and technologies at home doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your comfort and security too. This is where Australian tents come in.

When going for the ultimate outdoor adventure, having a reliable and sturdy tent goes a long way. It protects you from the harsh elements in the wild, and gives you a place to stay in during the day and night. And since it’ll be your home away from home, investing in a well-built tent is a wise idea.

Basically, Australian tents come in different sizes that correspond to their capacity, or the number of people they can house. There are tents that are perfect for accommodating one or two persons, and they are lightweight and usually easy to assemble. If you’re planning a camping trip with your spouse, then going for this kind of tent is your choice.

There are also tents that can fit three persons and more. These are larger tents that come in many shapes and styles. Aside from the basic dome shape, they also come in a marquee dome style. Although this is a perfect choice of tent for a family or a group of friends, keep in mind that these tents call for more time to assemble.

Another type of Australian tents is the swag. Swags are typically designed for one camper, but double swags are also available. These are more like sleeping bags instead of tents. But whatever type of tent you choose; there are some things you have to keep in mind before purchasing one.

Above anything else, always choose a tent that caters to your camping needs. Also, the size of tent you get should be able to accommodate the number of people you want to take with you on the camping trip. Some camping tents can fit up to 12 people, and this will do perfect as base camps especially for long treks.

Pay attention to quality. Never hold back in investing for quality Australian tents. After all, you are in the wild, so you have to make sure that you are well protected from the elements. Also, a good camping tent will give you a good night’s sleep as opposed to sleeping on a soaked sleeping bag.

Further, be sure to get a camping tent with a fly or rainfly. This is a custom-made waterproof cover that keeps the rain from getting in your tent without stifling ventilation. It also provides added protection just in case it rains during your camping trip.

An outdoor vacation of camping in the great outdoors is sure to be a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. While many campsites don’t require hiking much further than your automobile, they don’t provide you with seclusion and adventure of hiking to more remote campsites. The downside of hiking to remote camping locations is that you have to carry your belongings and camping gear on your back. Here are some tips to downsizing your load but still ensuring you have the essentials.
First off, do some research and see if your campsite will have running water and showers. The more remote ones rarely do. Even if there is water it may not be suitable for drinking and cleaning cuts and scrapes. If needed, bring enough bottled water for your hike or consider purification tablets.
Check the climate and weather report before you leave and pack accordingly. Even if the weather report doesn’t forecast it, be prepared for rain with at least a light poncho or rain resistant jacket.
Bring an appropriate sleeping bag for the climate and conditions of your camping location. If it’s a warm weather destination then a lightweight sleeping bag can be cheap and easy to find. If you’ll be camping in a cold climate then it’s wise to invest in a lightweight yet well insulated and water resistant sleeping bag.
A lightweight tent made of durable material is essential for camping. While it’s nice to have a huge tent it’s not necessary and less is more. In remote campsites you can change your clothes and keep your belongings outside your tent. You may also consider purchasing a tent that is self-assembly and requires very little time and effort to set up and take down.
A well-stocked first aid kit is also a must for camping. Make sure you have various sized bandages and disinfecting spray or ointment. Also carry some antihistamines and pain relieving medication. Have some small scissors or a Swiss Army knife and some tweezers which come in handy when dressing wounds and doing a multitude of tasks.
Your fully loaded backpack will weigh no less that 20 pounds and should weigh no more than 40 pounds. That may not seem like a lot but if you have hours of trekking to do then it’s sure to feel like twice after an hour or two.
Taking a camping holiday in more remote areas can be the adventure and seclusion you’re looking for but it will require hiking with your equipment. Pack wisely and only bring the essentials.

If you’re new to camping, it’s is a fun way to get away from it all, but it’s advisable to do your homework before heading out into the great outdoors to ensure a safe and enjoyable time for all.
One of the most tempting things to do after purchasing your tenting gear is to try it out for the first time at the campground. Many a first-timer camper has fumbled for hours trying to set up a tent. Set tents up in the backyard before leaving for your camping vacation. Make sure the lanterns, camp stoves and other gear work properly. Try out the sleeping bags with an overnighter in your new tent prior to your trip. Another words, become familiar with your camping gear.
Find yourself feeling a little crowded in the new tent? It’s important to make space and comfort a priority when choosing a tent. For family camping, consider purchasing a tent with a capacity rated two higher than the number of campers that will use it. For example, a family of four should choose a 6-person tent. This is going to be your home away from home, so make sure the tent is big enough.
A checklist is an invaluable tool for campers. Imagine reaching the campground and find you’ve forgotten something. A checklist keeps you organized and prepared. Keeping a camping gear checklist will ensure you leave nothing behind. Use it while you’re packing up. As you become a more experienced camper, you can revise the list as needed.
First-time campers should consider arriving at the campground early to become acquainted with the layout, amenities and rules. This also gives you time to set up camp during daylight hours and meet your neighbors. Things go much more smoothly when you can see what you’re doing.
While you may be camping, this is not the time to skimp on meal planning. Figure out how many meals you’ll be making and prepare a menu ahead of time. Once a shopping list is made, head to the store a day or two before your departure. It may save you money as well. Snacks and treats at the local camping store may be more expensive than your local grocery store.
If the weather forecast is predicting foul weather, reconsider your camping plans. Nothing is more uncomfortable than sitting in a tent while the rain pounds down. And rain-soaked campsites can be muddy and messy. If stormy weather is in the forecast, reschedule your camping trip for another time.
For your first camping trip, choose a campground close to home. You may find out after a night of sleeping on the ground that you are not cut out to be a camper. You may run out of food or have gear trouble. The weather may change for the worse. Any number of things could happen to make you want to go home early. Camp close to home the first several times to work out any kinks.
When it comes time to break camp and head home, use a whisk broom or rags to wipe off gear as you stow it. Pack gear as you had it when you came to the campground. Make sure the campfire has been dowsed with water. Use excess water from your cooler to put the fire out completely. Gather all the trace. Your goal is to leave the area cleaner than you found it.
Here are some items that no camper should be without:
Bug Spray – nothing can spoil a camping trip faster than bugs
Batteries – Make sure batteries are installed in equipment that requires them and bring spare batteries too.
Bungee Cords – Cords can be used to bundle firewood, secure lids to coolers, and as clotheslines
Plastic Garbage Bags – Campers should keep a clean campsite and garbage bags are perfect for collecting and disposing of trash.
Lighter/Matches – Bring along extra lighters and matches and you’ll never be without a fire. Plastic bags are ideal for keeping them dry.
Utility/Camping Knives – whether you need to fillet a fish or trim a rope, knives are the handiest tools to have when camping. Multi-purpose models carry utility blades and accessories for a host of outdoor duties. Choose knives that easily tuck away for added safety.

When you are going camping there are a number of basic camping gear essentials that go with any camping trip. These basics show up in most camping trips if you are camping without an RV or camping outside of a sheltered area, like a cabin.
These essentials include items such as a tent, sleeping back, cooking gear, first aid kits, emergency supplies, lighting, fire making kit or heating source, knife, personal hygiene products. There are a lot of items that people view as essential which are not actually essential but make the camping experience more enjoyable.
Some of the items that can make your camping trip more enjoyable and for some people are considered essentials are things like Dutch ovens, which allow you to bake while you are camping. Other items are folding chairs, tables and cots to make sitting and sleeping around the camp easier on the body. Some people bring things like coolers for cold foods, and ice. The essential gear for camping depends on the type of camping you are doing and how rough you want to camp. There are some people who enjoy camping with just a sleeping bag and a small tent or tarp in case it rains but for the most part they sleep lying in their sleeping bag under the stars, cooking on a fire and enjoying the simplicity of nature. Others take it up just a step and have a tent and perhaps some fancier cooking gear while others insist that everything but a kitchen sink is essential to camping.
One of the absolute essentials though is a first aid kit; no matter what type of camping you are planning on doing make sure that you have a fully stocked first aid kit. This also should include a snake bit kit; if you are planning on being anywhere in the deep woods or places where snakes are common. Another good thing to bring along is toilet paper, and a small shovel for creating a latrine some people may not find this an essential but for many it is.
