Summer vacation is in full swing and families across the globe are hitting the roads in search of fun summer adventures. There are so many great vacation ideas for your family, but one of my families favorite vacations is camping. We love to explore the great outdoors and become one with nature. So I’m here today to share some of my family’s Summer Camping Essentials with you!
When camping, there are certain essentials that you can’t go without; like a tent, sleeping bags, lanterns, air mattresses and camping chairs. While you could technically do without them, you’ll be much more comfortable with those major things. Kohl’s has some great picks right now and they include the following:
- Coleman Montana 8-Person Camping Tent
- Coleman Quickbed Double-High Air Beds with Pump
- Wenzel Blue Jay Sleeping Bag
- Picnic Time Reclining Camp Chair – Outdoor
- Coleman High Tech LED Lantern
- Lux Series Mini Binoculars
Binoculars may not seem like they should be high on the list, but trust me, they most definitely are. I mentioned above, being one with nature. That means you will probably see some amazing things within the woods that surround your camping area. You’ll see birds and other wildlife, but you may even have some more spectacular views off a bluff or across a river. Trust me, the kids will thank you!
There may even be water where you camp and new swimsuits are always a nice bonus to a vacation. I got my boys each a pair of ZeroXposur Grommet Striped Swim Shorts and they came with goggles. Lil Man is my fish boy, so he was super excited about that. But don’t forget the beach towels! The The Big One? Stripe Beach Towels are soft, thick and quite large!
When I camp, I pack for comfort. But I like to look stylish while I camp too – even if only the animals see me! Maxi dresses are the perfect fit because they’re one of the most comfortable things you could wear and they’re stylish too. I just adore this AB Studio Tie-Dyed Maxi Dress. It’s made with stretchy jersey material and has a gorgeous lace back and sleeves. It’s the ultimate in comfort!
You can find these great camping essentials and more at Kohl’s. Some of the products are online exclusive, so I recommend checking out Kohls.com first. They’ve got all sorts of other things that might be essential to your camping trip as well.
