If you have never car camped (or tent camped) solo before, it can potentially feel scary! However, I’ve found that when I head into solo adventures like these prepared, it calms my nerves and I know that if anything were to potentially happen, I would have the tools and skills I need to navigate.
As a massive preparedness and safety advocate, I’ve compiled a list of some tips and considerations to keep you safe and feeling empowered on your solo adventures.
I have been loving booking Hipcamp sites for my solo car camping trips because they are more private and I can gather TONS of information ahead of time about the site! Hipcamp is like Airbnb, but for camping. This may be a great option for your first one!
ONE MORE THING. You don’t need a super fancy sleeping platform or super fancy gear to go car camping. Fold down your seats, throw an air mattress, cozy blanket and your favorite pillows in the back, and get out there!
Alright, alright. Let’s get right into it… rapid fire style!
If you are looking to plan you first solo car camping adventure (or really any adventure) and want to make sure you have all the gear/safety gear you need and are prepared, I offer Stoke Strategy Sessions where we will meet virtually for an hour and chat so you can feel READY to go!
I’m a PNW-based outdoor educator, adventure athlete, highly-caffeinated creative, all-women adventure trip host, safety advocate, and obsessed dog mom. I am here to help you chase more stoke-filled days outdoors with confidence through education and empowerment.
