Camping for 2: A Romantic Valentine’s Day Campout
Saint Valentine was persecuted for marrying young couples against the king’s orders, helping many escape being drafted into war. The rich history behind this beautiful holiday has not been lost and can be shared in celebration of spring and love when you pamper your partner with a Valentine’s camping trip. This Valentine’s Day plan an exciting retreat in the fresh outdoors.
In order to painlessly plan your Valentine’s Day camping trip, be sure to keep three essential elements in mind; location, activity and gift. With these you can create a simple but comfortable environment that will add the intrigue you need to enjoy Mother Nature and make your partner happy.
Location: Be sure to research an area for camping that isn’t too far away from home but still requires a scenic drive into the countryside. Start by searching your state+camping on Google and then check each location’s website for park hours, amenities, restrictions, vegetation information and cost.
Once you’ve chosen your park, plan to adorn your lover with pleasant surroundings. A lush, padded mattress pad topped with satin sheets, loads of fluffy blankets, all complemented with red rose petals, is incredibly welcoming. Snacks and wine are also a must.
Activities: A bon fire, food on a portable grill and a comfortable bed are just not enough. Be sure that you and your partner are stocked up on things to do. Books, magazines, romantic couples board games, sexy card games or a portable DVD player and some romance films will take your evening even farther.
Gift: The gift says a lot but it is not the sole object that will make or break your special Valentine’s Day camp out. Creating comfort for your loved one is a great first start and refusing to become overwhelmed and stressed about buying the right gift is the next step. Once you’re certain you can handle the situation, listen to your partner talk about the things they wish they could get themselves. If all else fails, ask your partner directly while giving him or her a neck massage.
If you are still at a loss for what to buy your favorite person for Valentine’s Day, here are some great ideas to get you started:
A fully loaded picnic basket
Hiking boots
Books on camping
Waterproof tent
Portable grill
Portable cooler
Navigational system
Food dehydrator
Most of all….have fun!

I think camping on Valentines day is a very cool idea. Though I am not sure about the weather in February. At least in the UK it’s pretty nasty. Cold, wet and windy! On the upside though it might be a good opportunity to get close and cuddle up.
