Clean Camp, Clear Mind — How to Keep Your Campsite Organized
Share
A tidy camp is a peaceful camp.
At Camp Summit Store, we know that order brings comfort — even in the wild.
Keeping your space clean means less stress, fewer pests, and more enjoyment.
1) Set Up a Functional Layout
When you arrive, divide your space into clear zones:
-
Sleeping area: Flat ground, away from the fire.
-
Cooking area: Downwind from tents, near water (but not too close).
-
Waste area: At least 60 meters from your sleeping zone.
Mark paths with small lanterns or stones — it keeps order visible, even in darkness.
2) Manage Waste Responsibly
-
Bring reusable trash bags (thick, sealable).
-
Separate food scraps from paper or plastic.
-
Burn only dry paper — never plastic or foil.
-
Pack out everything, including biodegradable waste when possible.
Nature remembers what we leave behind.
3) Personal Cleanliness
-
Use biodegradable soap for dishes and body.
-
Wash 60m away from rivers or lakes.
-
Pack a quick-dry towel and wet wipes for convenience.
-
Always sanitize hands before cooking or eating.
4) Gear and Clothing Order
-
Keep gear in labeled dry sacks.
-
Air out sleeping bags every morning.
-
Store shoes outside the tent to avoid moisture and odor buildup.
Pro Tip: A clean tent at night feels like luxury — even under open skies.
Conclusion
Cleanliness outdoors is not vanity — it’s harmony.
A well-kept camp restores both the environment and your own state of mind.
At Camp Summit Store, we believe tidiness is the quiet form of respect.
