Camping and staying in nature is an increasingly common form of vacation. A large number of tourists every year decide to take a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of cities and noise. In Croatia, there are a handful of campsites all over the Adriatic coast that offer everything you need for a pleasant stay. One of them are Terra Park campsites on the island of Pag, where you have all the necessary infrastructure and plenty of pitches where you can to set up your tent or caravan. Although camping itself is mostly a fun and wonderful experience, it can also be challenging if everything needed is not prepared in time. In this blog we will focus on meal preparation and the ingredients we need. When camping, it is important to prepare them in advance to ensure you have enough food. Moreover, an adequate kitchen equipment should be provided in time.
Cooking equipment. What to bring?
Whether you're camping with a personal car, camper van, or just a tent for cooking, you need to have a few essential items.
Drinkable water is necessary for cooking and washing dishes. If you have a camper van, you have drinkable water from the tap just like at home. However, if you're camping in another way, then a portable water container is a good thing to have. It will take up very little space in transport, but when unfolded, its 15-liter capacity with a built-in tap and two hanging attachments will create the impression of running water. Thanks to its large capacity, you'll reduce the number of trips for water, and the tap will make consumption and washing easier.
A gas stove is one of the essential pieces of equipment. It can come in smaller or larger variants, and you'll need to bring gas canisters for cooking or frying pans with it. An electric grill can also be useful if you have access to electricity. Most campsites have it, so if you have space in your car, feel free to bring it along. Everyone loves to barbecue outdoors. You can buy eating utensils in camping stores that are designed for outdoor use and are not heavy to carry, or you can bring utensils from home. A portable cooler can be electric, which is always a safer option because it lasts longer. However, a regular cooler with ice can last for half a day if kept in the shade or if the outside temperature isn't too high.
