Tips For Packing On Your Next ATV Camping

It may be your first time to go camping with your ATV or you may have already done it before. Either way, knowing what to pack for your adventure can help you better enjoy the experience.

In a previous post we talked about how to pack and transport your ATV for riding adventures. In this one, we’ll be talking about what to pack when going for an ATV camping adventure.

Sure you can just use your ATV but there is so much more to enjoy when you also camp with it. Camping will mean you’ll need more storage because of your gear.

If your camping with friends, remember than you can split the extra gear with them. Also, know that your ATV racks can hold a lot especially when you secure them in place.

Tips For Packing

1. Trial packing

If you’re unsure if your gear would fit or not, you can try it out. Complete all the things you will need and try to pack them a few weeks before your trip.

2. Minimize your clothing

Be careful about packing your clothes because it’s easy to overpack. Note that you won’t be needing too much especially if you’ll have access to a washer and dryer along the way.

3. Buy the things you forget

There is a chance that you forget something but remember that there are stores along the way. They expect that some people forget to bring or they simply didn’t know that they needed those things. It can be more expensive but at least they have what you need.

4. Pack the boxes fully and tightly

Make sure that you fill the boxes and pack them tightly so it doesn’t have spaces for your gear to bounce around. This can help prevent damages to your gear.
