Camping is a great way to smoke some fire into a relationship. Sitting by a crackling campfire, exploring nature’s wonders, or snuggling together on a cool evening...aww, you can’t beat camping for low cost, big fun, and great romance!
Now, you may not be a camper...but chances are, your spouse is. Or...vice versa. So, plan this adventure (if even for just one night). Camping forces you to get away from everything--there are no computers (no blogs to read! *gasp*), tvs, or children to distract you. (I'm not discouraging family campouts...just encouraging one "husband and wife only" campout) ...where you truly get to be alone together.
Plan it together, or make it a surprise...But whatever you do, try to throw in a few details that will make this campout as romantic as is possible....for camping, anyway.
Make yourself a checklist to plan your campout, but these things I consider most important:

Make yourself a checklist to plan your campout, but these things I consider most important:
- Tent
- Queen size air mattress
- Queen size sleeping bag (fits two) - this is a must-have. We got ours as a wedding gift and love it! If you don't have one, maybe this could be a gift to tell your spouse of your upcoming camping date...
- Pillows
- Flashlights
- Food (if you choose to build a fire, get all the goods...)
- Wet Wipes, Towel (and other necessary items)
- Camoflage Lingerie (or atleast something green, brown, and cute)
- Ghost stories--there's nothing like being a little creeped out that can bring a girl closer to her man
Here are some links to ghost stories to print out:
(be warned: some of these are creepy and maybe a little gross... but that's the point-- I was trying to pick out the stories that I'd be scared to listen to and would make me hide my face in my husband's chest) - Death Waltz
Other stories: HERE and HERE
If ghost stories are not your thing, then I suggest watching a movie on a laptop in the tent (make sure the battery is charged!)
The best advice I have for romantic camping is not to worry about getting dirty...(you can do the laundry when you get home!)
After all, this may be the only campout when you'll allow fire IN the tent. :)
If outdoor camping just isn't your thing...how about a little indoor camping with the one you love?
