Tips for Creating the Perfect Camping Site
RNM Services
Summer is right around the corner, and for many people, that means it’s time to break out the camping gear and spend the weekend in the woods. If you and your family are camping enthusiasts and you would much rather spend the summer in a tent than in the house, a great way to ensure that you always have the best camping spot is to invest in some land. That being said, once you have the land, you may be wondering what comes next to make it the absolute perfect camping spot. In today’s post, we will provide you with a few tips on how you can create the perfect campsite for you and your family.

Great Location
Before you even purchase your land, the first step is to make sure it’s in a great location. If you’re looking to use your land for camping, you may want to pick a location that is secluded, but also close to stores if needed. You should also make sure to take a look at the land — you don’t want to buy land that is on a steep incline and doesn’t give you enough space to set up a tent. Additionally, if views and hiking trails are important to you, try to find a piece of land that checks all those boxes.
Flat Surface
As mentioned above, you don’t want to invest in a piece of land that doesn’t even have a good spot to set up a tent. It’s important that your land has enough of a flat surface that you can easily set up your tent, a fire pit, chairs, a table, and any other camping gear that you might need while you’re out in the wilderness. Once you find a spot of land that has enough flat areas, you may want to clear out some of the plants, fallen branches, and any other debris so that you can actually take advantage of the flat areas. Luckily, if you live in Houston or the surrounding areas, our team at RNM Services can come to your property and help clear the debris, as well as ensure that you have a perfectly flat, comfy space to set up your tent.
Healthy, Living Trees
When camping, you want to have a good amount of trees on your campsite. Trees can give you more privacy, protect you from the rain, and give you a nice spot to set up your hammock. However, you don’t want all the trees on your property to be dead and rotting. If you were to be camping when a big storm comes through, the dead trees on your property could fall and injure you or your family. For this reason, if you have dead and rotting trees, or even a bunch of stumps that are taking away from the beauty of your property, our team at RNM Services can help! We can take care of the dead trees, as well as grind down the stumps to a more acceptable height.
Water Source
If you’re planning to go camping for more than a day or two, you want to make sure you have access to water. Humans need water to survive, and if you’re planning to go hiking, staying hydrated is of the utmost importance. Instead of packing gallons and gallons of water into the back of your car, consider finding a plot of land that is close to a source of water, such as a lake or a river. Even if it would be a bit of a walk to get to the water source, it’s better than nothing, and since you own the land, you may even have the option of installing a well. Either way, it’s a good idea to research your options ahead of time.
Privacy
One of the biggest reasons many people decide to buy a plot of land for camping, as opposed to camping in a state park or public camping area, is because it’s more private. When you camp at a public camping ground, there’s a good chance that you will have neighbors on either side of your campsite, and you may not be able to enjoy the peace and quiet as much as you would’ve hoped. When choosing your plot of land for camping, make sure there is plenty of privacy so that you can enjoy the sounds of nature undisturbed.
