Camping Poem

The sun is setting, the sky is ablaze,

The air is crisp, the sounds of nature amaze.

The campfire crackles, the flames dance high,

As we sit around and tell stories of old.

We laugh and we sing, we roast marshmallows,

We gaze up at the stars and make wishes.

We're far from the city, far from the noise,

We're at peace in the wilderness, alone.

The night is dark, the moon is full,

The stars are so bright, they seem to touch.

We lie in our sleeping bags, warm and snug,

And drift off to sleep, dreaming of all that we've done.

We'll wake up in the morning, refreshed and renewed,

Ready to explore the forest, the mountains, and the sea.

We'll make memories that will last a lifetime,

And we'll come back to this place again and again.

So come on, let's go camping! Let's get away

From the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Let's reconnect with nature, and with ourselves,

And let's create memories that will last a lifetime.

What Is Minimalist Camping?

In today’s world, most people are surrounded by electronics most of the time. Whether it’s a phone, tablet, computer, television, etc., people of all ages have access to some form of technology. Sometimes, it’s nice, though, to escape all of that in favor of connecting with one another in the great outdoors. One way to do so is by minimalist camping. In fact, a minimalist family camping trip is an excellent way to enjoy each other’s company with less hassle.

What Does Minimalist Camping Mean?

Minimalist camping is the true “definition” of roughing it. Instead of relying on the comfort of home luxury items, you bring only the essentials with you on your camping trip. By packing lightly, you have less to contend with while you’re camping and concentrate on what you need to survive and meet basic needs. You don’t have to drag several bags to your campsite and save time packing. Minimalist camping allows you to connect with nature, fill your mental health cup, feel peace, and connect with your roots.

Where Can You Go Minimalist Camping?

There are many options for minimalist camping, depending on what amenities you are looking for. You can choose a traditional campground that frequently has bathrooms, firepits, and trash areas. Or you can try dispersed camping outside or away from designated campgrounds, where there are no amenities. Dispersed camping lets you feel the responsibility to fend for yourself. When you are finished with your dispersed camping trip, there should be no evidence you were there. Basically, clean up yourself and don’t disturb the environment.

What Should You Include on Your Minimalist’s Camping Checklist?

1. Shelter

If you don’t plan on sleeping under the stars, you’ll need some shelter. This is especially true for a family camping trip. For a shelter, you could use a tent or a simple tarp. With a tarp, you’ll need some way to set it up, such as underneath two trees. Unpredictable weather could leave you soaked if you don’t plan. Another essential for minimalist camping is a sleeping bag; Pack one for each family member. If you’re bringing a pet along, make sure they have the necessary supplies.

2. Food, Water, and Cookware

For a minimalist family camping trip, food, water, and cooking supplies are next on your list. Ideally, you want to bring non-perishable items as much as possible. If you decide to bring meat and other perishables, you’ll need to have a cooler. Make sure you have all necessary utensils like tongs and spatulas, along with pots or pans that are safe using over a fire. It might be in your best interest to bring charcoal to use if the campsite you choose has a grill.

3. Clothing

You’ll need to pack in layers for clothing. Layers will help keep you warm and allow you to remove layers as necessary. Ideally, you will want to pack three layers of clothes: an inner layer like thermal underwear, a mid-layer like fleece or flannel, and a top layer that is wind and water-resistant. Choose one pair of high-quality shoes per family member, as well as warm wool socks if the weather is cold.

4. First Aid

It is wise to pack a first aid kit that includes tweezers, bandaids, hydrogen peroxide, antibacterial ointment, baking soda, a bottle of water, and gauze pads of varying sizes. Bug repellent and sunscreen are also recommended to bring.

How Can You Camp on a Budget?

Fortunately, you camp on a budget, whether you’re minimalist camping or not. Compare your campground options because some are much more costly than others, depending on the season and amenities they offer. Dispersed camping is free if you’re looking for a more rugged experience. Learn more about what dispersed camping is here.

Don’t underestimate the joy that free activities can give as you look for activities to do. State parks offer many free days to visit throughout the year. Other free activities you can do camping include: going for a hike, swimming, bird watching, yoga, scavenger hunt, fishing, learning to tie a knot, skip stones, looking at the stars, and singing songs.

Minimalist camping gives you a break from technology and allows you to enjoy nature without extensive prep work and hauling. Next time you need a break from electronics, the hustle and bustle of life, or fun activity to do with family, consider going minimalist camping!
