Camping is a great experience, whether you go with friends or family members. In this article we have summed up some of the most creative camping ideas, which will provide you with some great activities to try when you are going for your next camping trip, or will just give you some functional solutions that will make your camping trip a lot more comfortable.
Hand Washing
Hygiene can often be a problem during camping trips, so why not set up a hand washing station? Just get a basic bowl, a jug of clean water and fix some paper towels around the jug. That way you can easily wash when you need to.
Spices
Cooking outdoors can be great during camping, but the food might taste a little bland without the necessary spices. There are some good ways to take spices with you, in empty tic-tac containers for example! It does not cost you much extra money, and they are easy to pack to take with you.
Dessert Cones
Have you ever tasted dessert cones? If you have not, your next camping trip will be the perfect time to try them out. Get some basic waffle cones and wrap them up in some tin foil. Once you have done that you can stuff them with anything you like, for example, chocolate or marshmallows! Cook the waffle cone for 5 minutes over some hot coals and taste one of the most delicious camping treats in your life! For some reason, food just taste better in the outdoors!

Straw Single Storage
Taking ointments, toothpaste, and other things can make your camping bag a lot heavier. For people who want to travel lightly, we recommend cutting straws into 1-2 inch pieces, filling them up to create single-use packets and sealing the ends. These take up a lot less space, and you will still have everything you need with you.
Camping Donuts
Making camping donuts is quite easy. Simply take some canned biscuits, poke a hole in the middle, and fry them in a skillet pan. To add more flavor to your camping donuts, add some sugar or cinnamon on top.
TP Holders
If you want to ensure that your toilet paper stays dry, you can always use empty coffee cans. The empty coffee can is not only suited for toilet paper because you can store some important documents in there as well.
Foil Dinners
Tin foil will be your new best friend when you go camping, especially around dinner time. You can place a variety of foods in the foil and cook it over the fire. A common favorite is meatloaf, carrots, and potatoes. Instead of using plates, simply serve the food on some tin foil, it will save you loads of time and dishes!
Campfire Pizza
Even when you are out camping, you can still enjoy a delicious campfire pizza. Bring a pizza crust from a tube and simply add some delicious toppings. Once you are done, you can create your pizza in a Dutch oven. At Home With My Honey has this yum recipe.
