русскийIf you've never found yourself waking up in a tent, have you ever really woken up? Some of us know that there is a special magic to those mornings outside, that we wake up slowly, perhaps to the sound of pattering rain, the fresh smell of pine or eucalyptus before we even open our eyes. They hit us, and the sun floods our tent with a languid warmth that urges us to get up, get out, and get on with the day.
On the other hand, campers who pitch their tents in the wrong spot may find themselves waking up every hour to strong winds blowing them around with a wet sleeping bag and a rock on their back. That's why we've put together this guide - a camper's guide, to help our friends make an informed decision when it comes to choosing the best campsite location.
1. Choose a safe tent camping location:
Stay out of hazardous areas and hazards such as rockslides, avalanches and flash floods.
Get off course and away from other campers. Campers love privacy!
Avoid camping near lone trees, mountain tops, high ridges and other possible lightning targets.
Keep away from animal tracks, dens or habitats.
Don’t go to the bottom of canyons or valleys, where the air is coldest and most humid.
Keep away from insect breeding grounds such as standing water, ponds or swamps.
Near firewood and water sources, such as rivers or streams.
Then, choose the right terrain for tent camping:
Set up your tent on a large enough flat surface.
Be close to something that absorbs radiant heat and blocks the wind, such as a tree or a bush.
A cozy spot has natural ground covers such as pine needles, moss, leaves or sand.
Try laying on the ground and see how it feels to sleep in this place!
Make sure your site has natural drainage.

2. Choosing the Right Terrain for Tent Camping:
Selecting the right terrain is crucial for a comfortable camping experience. Here's what to consider:
- Set up your tent on a sufficiently large, flat surface.
- Be close to something that can absorb radiant heat and block the wind, such as a tree or a bush.
