If roughing it isn’t your style, you’ll find there are plenty of ways to stay comfy while camping. Here are a few camping hacks and tips to make your trip a little more comfortable and a lot more fun. Here are 15 first-time camping tips to make your trip as enjoyable as possible:

1. Make sure you know how to put up a tent before you go camping. Practice how to set up a tent in your backyard or at a park so you're prepared when you get to the campsite.

2. Put your food in a cooler to keep it fresh, but don't forget to put the cooler in a shaded spot.

3. If you're camping with bears in the area, hang your food from a tree to keep it out of reach.

4. Use a headlamp to find your way around the campsite at night. Or secure a headlamp around a water jug and use the glow as an additional lantern.

5. Bring along some dryer sheets to keep mosquitoes away. Rub a dryer sheet over your skin to repel mosquitoes if you forget bug spray.

6. Don't want to lug a heavy bag of ice on your camping trip? Freeze water bottles before you leave to place them in the cooler. They'll act as ice packs and keep your food cold.

7. Keep your trip organized by packing everything in plastic camping storage containers.

8. Use a clothesline to dry wet clothes or towels. Hang the clothesline between 2 trees, or use a portable clothesline that you can set up anywhere.

12. Bring along some camping games to keep everyone entertained. Camping favorites include cards, Frisbee, and horseshoes.

14. Tie up a camping hammock for a comfortable place to sleep or relax.

15. Use a camping tarp, pop-up shelter, or canopy to create a shaded area, or for extra protection from the rain.
