Camping with a tent: tips for a perfect experience

Activities

Camping with a tent is one of the most authentic ways to enjoy contact with nature. Whether in the mountains, the forest, or by the sea, sleeping under the stars offers a unique sense of freedom. However, to make the experience truly enjoyable, it’s important to follow some key tips.

At Camping Salatà, located in Roses, Costa Brava, we offer spacious and fully equipped plots, perfect for camping enthusiasts. If you're planning your next getaway, follow these tips to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Choose the right tent

The first step to a great experience is having the right tent:

Size and capacity: Ensure it’s large enough for the occupants and the luggage. A 4-person tent is usually ideal for 2 or 3, as it leaves extra space for added comfort.
Waterproofing and ventilation: Opt for a tent with a double roof and good ventilation to avoid condensation and stay dry in case of rain.
Ease of setup: Practice before your trip to make sure you can set it up easily.

At Camping Salatà, our pitches are ready to accommodate tents of all sizes, with level ground, electricity connections, and nearby water points for a hassle-free experience.

Choose and well-prepare the pitch

Where you pitch your tent will make a difference:

Level ground: Avoid sloping areas for better sleeping.
Protection from wind and sun: If possible, set up your tent in a spot with some natural shade and avoid facing it directly into the wind.
Place a groundsheet underneath: This will help insulate the tent from moisture and extend its lifespan.

At Camping Salatà, we offer firm ground plots with nearby services, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Organize the space inside your tent

Keeping your tent tidy will help you enjoy the experience more:

Use storage bags to keep your clothes and accessories organized.
Place a rug or mat at the entrance to prevent dirt from entering.
Proper lighting: Lanterns, LED, or solar lights will make life easier at night.

Essential camping gear

In addition to the tent, there are some must-have items to ensure comfort:

A sleeping bag suitable for the season.
An insulating mattress or mat to improve comfort and prevent the cold from the ground.
Foldable table and chairs for added comfort outdoors.
Rope and clips to hang wet clothes or towels.
Portable cooking kit with stove, utensils, and a cooler.

At Camping Salatà, we offer free washing areas, heated toilets, and nearby supermarkets so you can cook without worry.

Enjoy the surroundings and respect nature

Camping is the perfect opportunity to disconnect and connect with nature:

Respect the campsite rules and the environment by keeping your plot clean at all times.
Use trash bags and recycle in the proper bins.
Minimize noise to avoid disturbing other campers.
If traveling with pets, use the designated pet areas.

At Camping Salatà, we are pet-friendly and have pet showers and large natural areas so your dog can enjoy the experience too.
