Lodging: Whether your crew is a bunch of hikers well-seasoned in sleeping under the stars or a crowd of newbs more likely to hit the club than the tent, we think bachelorette party camping can be a unique way to celebrate the bride-to-be! Before you start planning activities, you need to know where you’re staying. If everyone lives far away, pick a spot somewhere in the middle, not too far from an airport. If your group has some money to throw around, look for glamping-style site types, like yurts, treehouses, or teepees. Look for campgrounds that highlight seclusion, privacy, and well-spaced sites so you girls can let loose. Get the scoop on quiet hours and whether or not alcohol is allowed.
Eats: When lodging and food isn’t provided, your job becomes a bit harder. Everyone needs to bring their own gear, so include clear information on the invitation about what to bring and what to expect from the experience. The ultimate goal of any glamping/camping trip is preparedness. The last thing you want to face while you’re miles from home is a lack of food options. Because hangry campers aren’t happy campers, the most important thing you can do before embarking on your trip is to figure out a few easy, foolproof meals everyone will enjoy. Here are some genius recipe ideas sure to please everyone!
1. Walking tacos: The trick to this crowd-pleasing dinner is to make your meat at home ahead of time, so you won’t have any dishes to worry about when you’re out in the wilderness. Once you cook your meat and let it cool, seal it up in a resealable plastic bag, and put it in the freezer. That way, it can help keep the rest of your food cold in your cooler until you’re ready to eat it.
Pack up any desired toppings you want, such as cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and beans. Purchase individual snack-sized bags of your favorite chips — top choices for this meal include Doritos and Fritos, but any kind will work. On taco night (preferably a Tuesday), crush up the chips in the bag, and then add your heated meat and toppings. Enjoy these straight from the bag.
2. Foolproof camping pancakes: Before you head off on your camping trip, fill up a sport bottle with the amount of pancake mix you need. When you're ready to make your pancakes, add the right amount of water to the sport bottle and shake it vigorously for a few minutes. With your pourable pancake batter inside the sport bottle, you're ready to grease up your skillet and make fresh pancakes.
3. Fruit and s’more cones: This hack helps make your s’mores a little bit healthier with the addition of fruit. Instead of traditional s’mores, fill a waffle cone with chocolate chips, diced fruit, and mini marshmallows. You can also put in other fun toppings, such as shredded coconut, bananas, toffee chunks, or whatever your heart desires.
Pack everything into the cone, and cover tightly with foil. Cook over a campfire, and enjoy.
4. Easy breakfast burritos: Again, the key to making this simple camping meal is to do your prep work before you leave. Seal them up tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze. When you’re ready to leave, transport the frozen burritos to a cooler.
5. Foil packet meals: Turn your campfire—or even your grill!—into a working stove. All you need is a little aluminum foil, and you can make basically anything: steak stir-fry, quesadillas, nachos, and more. Think of this more like a quick reheat of already pre-cooked meals. Learn more about safe cooking with aluminum foil in this article from Clan Kitchen.
6. Scrambled eggs in a bottle: To avoid breaking eggs in a bag or cooler, pre-scramble them and pour them into a resealable plastic bottle. They'll survive the trip, and won't make a mess when you cook them.
Games and Activities: When picking out activities for a camping bachelorette party, the sky is the literal limit. Rock climbing, hiking, ziplining, rafting, SUPing, horseback riding, even skydiving—it all depends on your bachelorette! What does she really want from this weekend? Is it setting up camp in a beautiful spot, eating and drinking with friends, and playing games at the campfire? Or is she hoping for some insta-worthy shots, and matching t-shirts?
Mix and match the traditional elements of a bachelorette party to make them work for your group and your setting. Just remember to leave no trace—which probably means no explosive confetti or toilet paper wedding dresses in the woods. Here are some fun, down-to-earth ideas.
Go for a hike or walk around camp, and forage wildflowers to create a flower crown for the bride-to-be.
Have each girl write down the name of one of the bride’s exes on scrap paper, then have her pull them out of a hat, tell a story about them, and toss the piece of paper into the fire. It’s symbolic, a little dark, and just the right amount of adolescent.
There’s no reason you can’t have a spa day and a camping trip for your bachelorette. It’s super easy to make a base for face masks & foot soaks at home using household things like oatmeal, honey, avocado, flax, or banana. Just keep them in the cooler til y’all are ready to pamper.
You can also do the classic bachelorette games, made all the more fun by the great outdoors. Ask the groom a series of questions before the trip then put the bride-to-be on the spot, Newlywed Game style, while you lounge on a dock or hike up a mountain.
Party Favors and Gifts: girls just wanna have fun! And what better way to thank your gals for packing their bags and celebrating your last fling before the ring than with fun bachelorette party favors? When it comes to bachelorette party favors, there are two ways you can go: You can either give the bridal crew fun items to use or wear while they're at the shindig, or you can get them favors to take home and enjoy after the festivities. No matter which way you go you’re sure to find what you are looking for at IYHTVDesigns Zazzle.
Decor: Just because you’re in the woods doesn’t mean you can’t set up fun decorations for the bride. Imagine lying in bed and staring up at the stars while surrounded by fluffy pillows and rich textiles. That may sound like an experience you can only have at a five star hotel or a luxurious nature resort, but the truth is you can make that happen at your very own campsite.
1. Create a warm glow with string lighting. Pack some battery-powered twinkly lights to add ambience to your base camp.
2. Luxurious bedding and fluffy pillows.
3. Triangle bunting flags. There’s no shortage of cute accessories that can be used to glamp your camp but among the most popular are triangle flags. Strung up between trees or around the perimeter of your campsite, these flags add a touch of fun wherever they’re hung.
4. Accessorize with woven rugs. Place your favorite woven rugs in front of the door as you enter and exit your tent, and give your campsite a luxury safari feel.
5. Bedside tables topped with flowers and books. To give your tent a hotel room feel, place two small tables on either side of your air mattress. Cover the tables with your favorite scarves or small tapestries, and pile the tables high with your most loved books and magazines. For the finishing touch, accessorize with flowers or honeysuckle gathered from around your campsite.
6. Decorate with vintage lantern lights. Speaking of warm glows, vintage lantern lights do double duty—they’re perfect glamping décor and, when filled with a candle, give off a fabulous light. To create the perfect glamping scene, hang the lanterns from low-hanging tree branches and use one as a centerpiece on your picnic table. But remember candles are a no-no in the tent.
7. Glamp your picnic table. Who says camp meals can’t feel like a special treat? Upgrade your picnic table with a beautiful tablecloth and set the table with nice (yet durable) dishware and cloth napkins. Mason jars from home can be filled with flowers to create a nature-themed centerpiece.
8. Install a hanging canopy. You can hang it from the tent above your bed or from the branch of a tree—but no matter where you put it, a gauzy, flowing canopy deserves a spot at your glamping site. It’s easy and inexpensive to make your own canopy with a hula-hoop and some sheer window curtains. To create a fun and relaxing space outside of your tent, hang the canopy from a tree branch and put some fun and fluffy pillows beneath it. Inside of your tent, hang it above your bed for a romantic and dreamy feel.
9. Hang the perfect hammock. No campsite is complete without a hammock but a glamping hammock is both functional and comfortable. While most portable hammocks are compact and stuff into a small pouch for easy packing, a glamping hammock should be oversized. It’s larger size means it can be filled with fluffy pillows and warm, fuzzy blankets for the upmost comfort, and it’s also fit for sharing.
10. Hang a dream catcher or mobile from the center of the tent. To give your glamping space a bohemian, dream-like vibe, use a twist tie to hang a whimsical mobile or dream catcher from the center of your tent. For maximum whimsy, hang a wind chime from a nearby tree.
Although we just loaded you up with ideas, take note that you should definitely NOT have to plan your own bachelorette party! You have way too many things on your plate with all of your wedding planning (on top of everything else you do in your day-to-day life). If someone isn’t already on top of this, assign your maid of honor or one of your bridesmaids to plan the bachelorette festivities for the group! That way, you just get to have all the FUN and soak in the memories…and your girls too, of course!
