Ways to Stay Cool While Camping on the Chesapeake Bay

Summer camping trips are fun for the whole family, but finding ways to stay cool becomes essential when the sun's rays shine bright and the heat increases. You and your family can still have a great camping adventure even when it gets hot.

Here are some tips to stay cool on summer camping trips.

Camping Hacks to Stay Cool

Whenever you are camping in the Chesapeake Bay area, finding ways to beat the heat and keep your campsite cool can keep you and your family comfortable and happy. Follow these tips and tricks to stay cool during your camping trip:

1. Take Advantage of the Shade

Whether you are camping in a cabin, RV or tent, there are many ways you can ensure your site remains cool during the day. Shade is an easy way to keep the temperature low at your campsite. 

You can keep your tent cool during the summer by setting it up in areas that offer the most shade during the day's hottest hours. Staying in an RV and cabin surrounded by trees can also provide plenty of shade. Bring along an umbrella or two to provide even more shade while you're spending time outside. 

2. Stay Hydrated

Drink lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. Keep drinks ice-cold in a well-insulated cooler to help lower your body temperature while drinking them.

3. Play in the Water

One of the best ways to stay cool during the hot summer days is to play in the water. Whether the campground has a pool or access to a beach, swimming and splashing in the water is an ideal way to keep kids — and adults — cool while enjoying the sun.

4. Bring and Set up Fans

Just having airflow can provide relief from the heat, and fans are a great way to move air in your RV, tent or cabin. If you have access to electricity, plug in a fan to create a nice breeze. You can also strategically place fans to circulate so the hot air flows out while cool air goes in.
