In a few days, I'm going to go camping! I've been camping a few times and it's very fun and a breath of fresh air as I'm usually inside a lot. Here are some ways to maximise your camping experience so it can be even more fun!

* Take advantage of nature - go for a walk or even try orienteering! This is the perfect time to try out your nature skills, and it'll work too.

* Pack lightly - you don't really need to bring your laptop camping, do you? Or bring your very uncomfortable, but cute, jeans? Pack lightly with items you know you'll use and which will be comfortable.

* Stay organised - separating items into bags of their categories is a way to stay organised. When I'm going camping I'm bringing three small bags - food, clothes and general - or you can buy a bag with separate compartments in.

* Be open-minded - try not to feel that the walk you're going on is 'boring', think of it as an exciting way to enjoy the countryside. This is the time to put your skills to the test!

Do you like to go camping?
