1. invest in a high-quality tent
A good tent is an important investment for every camper, especially for beginners.
A high-quality tent is more durable and usually offers better protection.
When buying a tent, you should pay attention to a few important factors: Make sure the tent has enough space for you, everyone else, luggage and equipment.
Make sure that the tent is made of robust and waterproof materials such as polyester or nylon.
It is important that the tent is easy to pitch; look for tents with clear instructions and as few poles as possible.
Keep in mind that you may need to carry the tent if you want to hike to a remote campsite, so look for a tent that is lightweight and compact to transport.
Here’s a quick overview of what you should look out for:
- Size
- Material
- Structure
- Weight & pack size
If you prefer to travel by car, a Roof top tent can help.

2. always place a groundsheet under your tent
A groundsheet is an important addition to any tent, especially if you are camping on uneven or damp ground.
A groundsheet protects the floor of the tent from dirt and moisture and can also help keep the tent warmer and more comfortable.
If you’re using a Roof top tent, then of course you won’t have this problem as this is attached to the roof of the car.
There are different types of tent pads, for example: Foil pads are made of waterproof foil and are particularly suitable for campsites with wet or damp ground.
Rubber mats, on the other hand, are made of rubber or rubber foam and are particularly suitable for campsites with uneven ground.
Some tents also come with integrated carpets that make the floor of the tent softer and more comfortable.
There are three types of tent pads:
- Foil underlays
- Rubber mats
- Carpets
Whatever type of groundsheet you choose, make sure that it fits your tent well and that it is long and wide enough to cover the entire area.
3. use robust guy ropes & pegs
Robust guy ropes and pegs are important for pitching the tent stably and securely.
To do this, the ropes and pegs should be suitable for the weight and size of your tent to ensure that they can support the weight of the tent.
Some tips to keep in mind: Make sure the pegs are made of sturdy materials such as steel or aluminum.
Make sure the ropes and pegs are long enough to keep the tent stable, but also short enough not to put too much strain on the tent.
Use enough ropes and pegs to secure the tent sufficiently, even on uneven or windy terrain.
Make sure that the ropes and pegs are in good condition and are not damaged.
This is the best way to secure your tent:
- Use sturdy ropes & pegs
- Choose the right size
- Use enough ropes & pegs
- Check the ropes & pegs regularly

There are different types of sleeping pads, such as Foam mats are made of foam and are particularly suitable for campsites with uneven ground.
They are light and compact to transport.
Air mattresses are heavier and larger, but often more comfortable.
These are filled with air and are particularly suitable for campsites with level ground.

These are filled with air, but have an integrated fan to make inflation easier.
These three options are ideal for sleeping on a camping mat:
- Foam mats
- Air mattress
- Self-inflating mats

It is important that you pitch your tent in a clean and safe area to ensure comfort and safety during your camping trip.
This can spoil the smell and appearance of the area and also pose health risks.
You can otherwise get sick on vacation.
In addition, garbage and sanitary facilities attract insects.
These are not only unpleasant, they also transmit diseases.
For this reason, you should avoid being near garbage and sanitary facilities:
- Can transmit viruses & bacteria
- Higher risk of becoming ill
- Dirt attracts mosquitoes & flies
Of course, this is not the case at every campsite.

13. sun protection in the shade
You should choose a place for your tent that offers enough shade to protect you from the sun and to ensure a more pleasant climate in the tent.
It is best to look for trees or similar that can provide shade.
Use tent or awning extensions to provide additional shade.
Pay attention to the time of day when you pitch your tent, the tent should be in the shade when the sun is at its hottest.

In strong winds, they can also become dangerous due to falling branches or even toppling over.
Therefore:
14. storm & strong wind: distance from the tree
While it can be tempting to seek shade under trees, there is a risk that falling branches could damage your tent or injure you.
If there is a lot of wind, find a sheltered area away from many trees.
If the weather changes from sunny to rainy, you should move your tent.
If the weather changes to strong winds or even squalls, you should pay attention to these things:
- Shade under trees can be dangerous
- Falling branches can destroy the tent or injure people
- If there is a lot of wind: choose an area away from many trees
15. beware of rivers and streams!
You should check the flood risk in advance.
Flood-prone areas can flood quickly, especially during heavy rainfall.
In the worst case scenario, your tent will be washed away by the current.
If the water rises less strongly, it can still penetrate the tent and damage your equipment and clothing.
It is therefore best to pack them in sturdy boxes.
You can even find two different sizes in the store: Campwerk Box M and Campwerk Box L.
Avoid wet feet by following these tips:
- Check the flood risk in advance

You should therefore always keep enough distance from the slopes.
Especially when it is rainy or windy, as the risk of falling is greater here.
But also pay attention to the ground in dry weather.
Loose surfaces can cause slips, landslides or even avalanches.
This is how you should behave on cliffs, rocks or steep slopes so that nothing happens to you:
- Keep your distance
- Keep an eye on the weather

This is particularly important in windy weather.
Depending on the wind, sparks can fly and ignite something else.
Also make sure the ground is not sloping.
If glowing logs start to roll away, this can be very dangerous.
After these five steps, you can look for a suitable place for your campfire:

You should pay particular attention to your children or dogs.
In rare cases, robberies also occur in such places.
