Here are some ways to make your camping experience less muddy and miserable, and more homely, that will make you actually miss festival season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type of Tent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is better to get a tent bigger sized than the amount of people going from your group. This will mean that you will have more space and <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/room\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/room;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.06ht1;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Room\" >room<\/a>, and it will not feel as confined or squashed. It will also give you more space for luggage. Also, room at the porch\/door of your tent is ideal space to put any dirty clothes or shoes so that they aren&#8217;t ruining other parts of the tent and is a good area to cook. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also you definitely want to practice pitching your tent at home beforehand, as you do not want to end up homeless in the middle of a field because you don\u2019t know how to pitch a tent or something is wrong or missing with your tent.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have a tent footprint, this will be the ground cover protector for your tent to prevent gravel and wet ground from affecting the inside of your tent. This will undoubtedly make you feel much better about being in your tent when the weather is miserable, it will even mean less cleaning! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are even some tents that have carpets, meaning you can properly relax after a day of jumping about to live music.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4874\" style=\"width: 431px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4874\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-4874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-260x139.jpg\" alt=\"Image source: http:\/\/www.sportsmansguide.com\/product\/index\/texsport-meadow-breeze-porch-tent?a=1157606\" width=\"421\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-260x139.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-600x321.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-150x80.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-200x107.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-450x240.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts-900x481.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/204746_ts.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: http:\/\/www.sportsmansguide.com\/product\/index\/texsport-meadow-breeze-porch-tent?a=1157606<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Tent Essential to Bring<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/campingwithstyle.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/coleman-fremont-6-tent-review-02.jpg\" alt=\"coleman-fremont-6-tent-review-02\" width=\"494\" height=\"330\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: http:\/\/www.campingwithstyle.co.uk\/tag\/glamping\/<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sleeping bag &#8211; of course<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pillow &#8211; for you sleepy heads<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blankets &#8211; Essential to keep you warm <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blow up\/Inflatable mattresses or sofas\/seats &#8211; the comfier you are the better <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lantern\/ torch &#8211; Lighting source is crucial, you could even make it yourself using a headlight attached to a big water bottle <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social area &#8211; extra cushions \/ bean bags \/ seats- almost like a living area, as they are known as the most homely places in a <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"homes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/home\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/home;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.01l0mw;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Home\" >home<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phone Charging kit &#8211; to keep you up to date with the world<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add some colour too &#8211; flags are good as you can easily spot your tent from a distance, bunting is also great<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.everythingsimple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/outdoor-lantern.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"310\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: http:\/\/www.everythingsimple.com\/765\/the-outdoor-lantern-it-can-guide-the-camper\/outdoor-lantern\/<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extras<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some extra things you made need in your tent, possible for securing reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pegs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust Pan and Brush \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doormat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following these tips will have you wishing it was never home-time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tents can seem like the biggest nightmare of your festival weekend, but with some essentials you can make it feel like home and love going back to your tent after a busy jam packed day.
