Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and what better way to celebrate than with a camping trip? Whether you're a seasoned RV adventurer or a first-timer, here at Howdy RV in Aransas Pass, we want to make sure your Memorial Day getaway is unforgettable. In this blog, we'll share some insights on what gear to grab (and what to skip) to maximize your fun and relaxation factor.

Must-Haves for Memorial Day RV Camping:

  • Essentials for Comfort: Make sure you have all the creature comforts of home on the road. Pack plenty of bedding, towels, and camp chairs. Don't forget a portable table for enjoying meals outdoors and a fire pit for those cozy evenings under the stars.
  • Cooking Gear: Camping is all about enjoying delicious meals together. Pack a camp stove, a cooler, and all your essential cookware, plates, and utensils. If you're short on space, consider investing in a space-saving camp kitchen kit.
  • Awning: An awning provides much-needed shade and shelter from the elements. Perfect for relaxing under or enjoying meals outdoors during unpredictable weather.
  • Outdoor Recreation Gear: Plan your activities in advance and pack accordingly. Whether it's fishing poles, hiking boots, bikes, or beach essentials, having the right gear will ensure you can make the most of your outdoor time.

Must-Skips for Memorial Day RV Camping:

  • Duplicating Dishes: While it's tempting to pack everything you have at home, remember, space is limited in an RV. Use paper or reusable plates and utensils to save space and make cleanup easier.
  • Packing Too Much Clothing: Focus on packing versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. Memorial Day weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers that will keep you comfortable in both warm and cool temperatures.
  • Single-Use Items: Skip the disposable lighters, water bottles, and plastic wrap. Invest in reusable alternatives that are not only eco-friendly but will also save you money in the long run.

Bonus Tip:  Don't forget the entertainment! Pack some board games, cards, or even a portable projector for movie nights under the stars.
