Discover New Spots
People are becoming more interested in automobiles these days.

Car enthusiasts also create communities where they can bond and share stories about their creations.
Aside from the car itself, location is important in car glamping as well. This is something that you should keep in mind when you car glamp with your friends and family. There are actually many places you can try to glamp in some countries., In the Philippines, for instance, you can try to explore some places like Kalmado Campsite in Tagaytay City, Cavite, and The Silent Sanctuary Reserve Campground in Cavinti, Laguna.
The tip is to find a location that is convenient for you, and a location where your car can fit in. Particularly because you will be bringing 4×4 pickup trucks or SUVs, which are larger when compared to sedans.
Do Not Travel Light
In car glamping, travelling light is not an option. Since you are bringing your cars, you can bring everything that can make you comfortable. You can bring your barbeque station and prepare a variety of grilled food for your family and friends to enjoy. You can even bring your mini refrigerator or freezer so the beverages can stay cold, and the meat can stay fresh throughout the activity.
Also, don’t forget items for entertainment like board games and books.
That’s what car glamping means: bring all the things that are convenient and can make your activity comfortable as if you are at home. Therefore, you must remember that when you car glamp, you do not travel light.
Bring Good Music
Music is essential in every trip, whether it is out of the country or on road trips. What better way to enjoy car glamping than by bringing along some good music, right?
Music can add so much to the experience, from setting the mood to providing entertainment.
It can even help you bond with your friends and family. So, if you’re planning a car glamping trip, be sure to bring along some good tunes. Whether you’re jamming out in the car on the way to the campsite, or sitting around the campfire at night, good music will make the experience even better.
Be Prepared
Car glamping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors while still having the convenience of your car nearby. Thus, it is essential to be prepared before heading out. Make sure you have a list of all the supplies you’ll need, including food, water, shelter, and clothing. A first-aid kit and a map of the area are also strongly advised in case of emergency.

Key Takeaway
