Everyone loves a good night of snooozzzing. And long days behind the RV wheel certainly don’t hurt that process. But if you don’t feel like your RV bedroom is quite up to snuff, we have what you need for a ticket to sleepytown. Gone are the nights of tossing and turning, waking up groggy and sluggish for a long day at the campground. You want your trip to be memorable for the right reasons, not because you didn’t have enough energy to get through the day.

Really, all that stands between you and a good night of sleep are a few carefully chosen items that will complete your bedroom setup in the RV — and one item even out of the RV.

 

A Wall of White Noise

Campgrounds are a lot of things, but quiet is not always one of them. A white noise machine creates soothing background sound that helps mask noisy neighbors and cacophonous campgrounds. That background is like a wall of noise that provides a better sleep environment.

With adjustable volume levels and 20 sound options, it offers customizable comfort for anyone who needs a little quiet to sleep. This white noise machine is also a great option for the kid’s sleeping quarters when the adults want to stay up a little later for some star gazing. Under half a pound, it’s easy to transport and even easier to store.

Prices start on Amazon at $21.99.

 

A Contact-Ready Mattress Pad

This mattress pad can give your bed just the right amount of cushion while also protecting your mattress from stains, spills and wear, extending the life of your mattress. That’s important because, even more than brick-and-mortar homes, your bed gets a lot of action in an RV. There’s limited real estate in the cabin, so any combination of food, kids, partners, pets, and wine could mean an instant mess.

Also, the deep pockets of this particular product ensure that it will not slip off in the middle of the night, disrupting your sleep. Filled with down-alternative and with a cotton surface, it’s a stellar option for passengers with sensitive skin or allergies. All of which might be why it has over 75,000 5-star reviews. That’s a lot of well rested customers!

Prices start on Amazon at $39.90.

 

A Darker Den

Blackout curtains might be the single most important thing when it comes to improving your quality of sleep in your RV cabin. An awful lot of RV walls have windows. (Like most of them.) Some shutting off all the light can be a big camper challenge for getting some shuteye. These stylish curtains let you say, “Lights out,” when you want to.

A great additional benefit is that the insulating properties help to regulate room temperature, which contributes to both sleep quality and your RV’s energy efficiency. And yes, there are options — 34 colors and 23 sizes to be exact! Happy campers have mentioned that the material is thick without being rigid, and that ambient light is greatly reduced. They can be hung easily with a tension rod or your camper’s existing curtain rods.

Prices start on Amazon at $13.75.

 

A Gentle Midnight Breeze

Oscillating fans provide consistent airflow throughout a room, promoting better air circulation and comfort during warmer months, which can be especially crucial in a tight space. If you are used to sleeping with a ceiling fan, a tower floor fan is a fantastic substitute for your RV.

With its bladeless design, you don’t have to worry about little fingers, and the remote control allows you to adjust the settings without getting out of bed. (We love that.) The grill on the back is easy to remove and clean, so don’t give the campsite dust a second thought.

Prices start on Amazon at $69.99.

 

A Still Night

No one wants to roll over in bed and be woken up by the feeling of your RV seemingly rocking off of the pad. Lynx Levelers are an economical, easy-to-use solution that can support up to 40,000 pounds. They are durable, simple to adjust, and easily stored under your RV when not in use.

Levelers aren’t just a product to help you get a good night of rest. It is important that your RV is stabilized on rocky, uneven ground in order to prevent damage to your RV or injuries to campers. You can rest easy knowing that these levelers fit the bill.

Prices start on Amazon at $33.18.

 

Sweet Dreams

Incorporating these five items into your RV setup can make all the difference in achieving a restful night’s sleep on the road. From investing in a quality mattress pad cover for added comfort to utilizing blackout curtains to block out external light, these simple additions can significantly enhance your sleep environment. With the right combination of gear and preparation, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying peaceful nights of sleep, ensuring you wake up refreshed and ready for another day of adventure on the open road.

 

Elevating your RV experience from camping to glamping doesn’t just happen. No, it involves a thoughtful selection of luxurious essentials. It also requires you to find the perfect blend of the natural and the indulgent, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy creature comforts in the great outdoors.

If you are someone who spends extended time in your RV, you deserve to fill it with items to make it feel like home. Quite simply, there are sacrifices you simply don’t have to make while glamping. Lavish movie nights. Artisan coffee. Those things are only better with the great outdoors.

While any glamper’s list will vary with their tastes, we think these five things are essentials for anyone looking to elevate their glamping game.

 

A Very Private Screening

Drive-in movies have officially made a comeback. The difference is that the screenings are private. Invite only. Portable movie projectors and screens offer the ultimate cinematic experience on the go, allowing you to transform any outdoor space into a personal movie theater. Parked in Joshua Tree? You can watch Dune. That’s the epitome of glamper life right there.

And it’s so easy. (Another glamping essential.) With its compact design and easy setup, you can play your favorite films in the open air under the stars with friends and family. This bluetooth projector with 100-inch screen is compatible with your smartphone, HDMI cables, USBs, Fire Sticks and PS5s. Just plug it in and then you are off to the Hollywood Hills. Reviewers love how easy it connects to Bluetooth and are broadly impressed with the picture quality.

Prices start on Amazon at $99.99.

 

Your Boondocks Barista

We know you know this, but we’re just gonna say it: The best places to drink coffee on the planet aren’t near a Starbucks. Those epic mountain sunrises. Those russet desert sunsets. Those are the moments you just want to savor with every sense in your body. And that includes the bold, earthy taste of coffee.

As a glamper, having it all is kinda your thing. So, equip your RV with the Nespresso espresso machine and milk frother. The combination delivers barista-quality espresso and creamy frothed milk at the touch of a button, elevating your coffee experience to new (mountain) heights of convenience and quality. Once you try this java, you won’t be able to go back. A programmable timer means it pours itself for you every morning. And it will serve it as bold as you wish. Hot. Iced. Doesn’t matter. What matters is that moment you drove mile on mile to savor.

Prices start on Amazon at $188.87.

 

The Perfect Hangout

Hammocks might be the ultimate form of relaxation. Basically, you let gravity and nature cradle you into the sweetest nap spot. And that can be wherever your RV finds it. This portable camping hammock offers flexibility, allowing you to lounge comfortably wherever you land, whether it’s by the lakeside, deep in the forest, or atop a mountain. Its lightweight and compact design make it an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts, providing a convenient and comfortable way to rest and recharge amidst nature’s beauty.

Reviewers appreciate how affordable and easy to install this one is, as well as being durable enough for backwoods adventures. This little baby also weighs less than two pounds, so you won’t even know you’re carrying it home. (Hint: That means it’s also easy to store.) Sure, it doesn’t have a weirdly high glamper price tag, but hey! More moolah to spend on the rest of your setup, right?

Prices start on Amazon at $11.99.

 

A Portable Loveseat

Sometimes you just wanna share a camping chair, ya know? That’s why you need this fully padded, foldable loveseat camping chair. Capable of supporting up to 650 pounds, this chair is perfect for couples, kids, cuddly dogs and maybe the occasional cat. (Wow! Who all you got in that RV?)

Once packed up, the carrying tote measures just over eight inches wide and 40 inches tall and tucks easily into available nooks. (Even glampers gotta stow, y’all.) Flat-out: This chair ranks high in quality, comfort, design and ease of storage. So we want it. And glamper gotta get what we want. That’s the idea, isn’t it?

Prices start on Amazon at $89.99.

 

To Flip Them Shades

You know you’re glamping when your awning can do this. Upgrade your outdoor space with this stylish sunshade, providing shade and protection while lounging in comfort. The design blocks up to 86 percent of UV rays but still allows a full view — meaning that you can enjoy the scenery or watch the kids while you hide out in the (much cooler) shade. Meaning, in short, that you can have it all.

Available in black, brown, light blue, beige, navy blue and multiple sizes, your options are there. And oh! Did we mention that it costs under $50? Just make sure that you order the right size (let’s call this custom, because that sounds glampy). Measure twice and order once following the instructions provided. Glampers don’t have time for returns.

Prices start on Amazon at $44.99.

You know what keeps us on the road juussst a little longer? Small comforts. There are a multitude of small and simple additions that can radically change the feel of your RV. But since a hypothetical list of infinite potential purchases can seem daunting, we have narrowed down our list to a very manageable seven. (Remember, it’s the small things.)

These are our favorite low-cost, high-impact items that can instantly make your RV cozier and more comfortable.

 

A Breath of Purer Air

Strangely enough, we’re not just talking about the fresh air your RV gives you access to. We’re talking about the air in your RV itself. Small space living can come with some challenges. When you confine multiple people and pets into a small area, and then park said small confined area in a field, you are naturally going to have concentrated dust, dander, and yes, odor. All of these things can increase allergy symptoms and decrease fun.

So, opt for the small — but powerful — comfort of a compact air purifier. LEVOIT air purifiers help get rid of unwanted allergens. You can even add a few drops of essential oils to this model for a fresh smell. They also come in a variety of sizes to fit your need and your available space.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $49.99.

 

What Your Naked Toe Touches

Cold feet be gone! On chilly mornings, it is flat-out to land directly on the RV floor. Grab this non-slip, washable carpet runner to take the sting out of cold mornings. Carpet runners are the perfect for the narrow alleys of an RV cabin. And unlike carpet, you can just pick it up and wash it when it’s picked up too much trail.

Available in nine sizes and six colors, you’re going to find something you love. Customers have noted that these rugs are soft, thick and live up to their claims of being washable. And worst-case scenario, they’re cheap enough to replace (or swap out for a new look).

Pricing starts on Amazon at $29.95.

 

Comfort in the Coziest Place

You can probably tell that we take sleepy time pretty seriously around here. In fact — deep breath — these sheets may look familiar … because this isn’t the first time we’ve recommended them!

No matter what size your RV beds are, these sheets have you, quite literally, covered. You can expect these sheets to come out of the dryer wrinkle free and as soft as ever after each wash. The deep corner pockets mean that your bedding will stay put all night long, allowing you to have the night of deep snuggly sleep that you deserve after a day driving and hiking, towing and trekking.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $29.99.

 

Because Fluff Feels Good

Did someone say Hotel Collection? It was us. We said it. We can’t get enough of these down, alternative-cooling pillows that have glowing reviews from back, stomach and side sleepers. If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it, well, at least twice — don’t skimp on the products that you use when you sleep.

A good pillow can make or break a night of sleep, and we want you ready for the open road each morning. (Note that if you purchase these pillows, they will take a couple of days to reach maximum fluffiness.)

Pricing starts on Amazon at $59.99.

 

The Warmest Wrap

OK, so this might feel like a bit of a splurge for a blanket, but we promise it’s worth it. In fact, multiple top reviewers reported buying several of these for their homes so that every room would have a touch of comfort and texture. And that can come in especially handy in an RV where insulation is not the same as an ole brick-and-mortar house. In your RV, these blankets make warmth a grab away.

Your new favorite blanket is machine-washable, but we do recommend using a laundry mesh bag to extend its life. If you happen to be looking for a gift for your favorite RVer, looks like you just found it.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $49.99.

 

A Memory Foam Top Off

If you want to upgrade your RV bed (a smart move), but don’t want to spend hundreds replacing the entire mattress (a savvy idea), then we recommend trying a memory foam mattress topper. If you experience pressure points when you sleep, then this is the product you’ve been looking for.

RV-specific reviews are quick to point out that it’s not too heavy, and the queen short “is actually the correct size for an RV mattress.” Once it comes out of the box, give it 48 hours to fully expand and then you’re all set!

Pricing starts on Amazon at $184.41.

 

A Soft and Simple Safeguard

If you want something to improve the surface of your mattress, but aren’t ready to commit to memory foam, this mattress protector and padded pillow cover is an excellent compromise. One added bonus: You can pop this topper into the washing machine because let’s face it, life happens. (Especially if you are camping with kids!).

There are over 76,000 5-star reviews, touting the comfort and cooling properties, which — again — may be small comforts. But don’t forget that in the RV life, those are the ones that count.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $39.90.

There is an old saying: “Though the bathroom be but little she is fierce!” We’re pretty sure that’s from Shakespeare. Or maybe Shakespeare in the park. After emptying the black tank. What really matters is that when you upgrade your RV bathroom it has an impact that is bigger than the square footage on the floorplan.

So, we’re here with some quick and easy upgrades that will take your privy from blah to spa in no time flat. These items are low on cost and effort, but they’re big on style and impact. Our suggestions to upgrade your RV bathroom range from the practical (storage solutions) to the downright beautiful (updated lighting). And there are more in between.

 

Increase Shower Power and Access

Your whole family will thank you when you replace your shower head with this beauty! With five settings and flow control, your shower experience can be completely customized to your liking. (Best enjoyed, of course, when you have a full hookup and water aplenty.) The 72-inch hose, combined with the ability to mount the holder at any height, will turn your shower into a more inviting space for every RV passenger that uses it. Best of all, that strong and steady stream is just what you need to wash off the trail.

Prices start on Amazon at $34.15.

 

Enjoy Sleeker Shower Storage

This sleek organizer will be a total game changer when it comes to your shower products. Why? Because no one wants to use valuable RV storage space for soaps and shampoos and sponges. If we can store that stuff where it’s used, all the best. And with this clever organizer, we can do just that.

Applied with adhesive, you won’t even need tools to take your bathroom from cluttered mess to controlled chaos. The design of this product is well thought out, with multiple compartments of varying sizes for all of your family’s products. If you have a family with a penchant for body wash and scented soaps, this rack stores up to 40 pounds worth of shower accessories. So your passengers don’t have to be relegated to tiny hotel shampoos … unless they like that.

Prices start on Amazon at $9.99.

 

Switch In a Swivel Rack

Racks that only hold one towel are so out of place in an RV. You need a rack that can support the towel needs of the whole fam. In other words, check out this four-arm, swivel towel rack that only swings out when you want it to and fits snuggly against the wall when you don’t. This, combined with this must-have towel warmer, will give you a luxury towel experience in your little corner of the campground.

Don’t simply take our word for it. Reviewers state that this towel storage solution “works great, looks nice, and only takes 10 minutes to install.” That sounds easy. And easy goes great with the RV life.

Prices start on Amazon at $17.99.

 

Give the Sink a Modern Makeover

Add a touch of personal style to any RV bathroom with this ceramic sink. Designed for small spaces with easy installation in mind, this sink is a no-brainer for RV owners looking for a quick and easy upgrade that will make a big difference. The shape and finish work with both rustic and modern bathroom finishes, and as one reviewer noted, “What’s not to like?”

If you’re worried about a white sink taking a beating after a day of exploring dusty mountain roads, don’t be. This bad boy is stain-resistant and easy to clean, so keep making messes! This sink can take it.

Prices start on Amazon at $87.90.

 

Let Your Vanity Lighting Shine

Does your RV décor evoke a modern style? Well, we have something that will give your bathroom a little bit of wow. This LED, modern sconce is striking. And just as wonderful, it’s easily installed by connecting to your RVs existing wiring, so it won’t require batteries or recharging.

Even better? It comes with a 24-month warranty, and you have up to 60 days to receive a full refund, no questions asked. Not overly bright, it won’t overpower your small RV loo, but will illuminate your bathroom with warm light. Even though we know we have the smartest readers around, don’t be shy if you want to pass this job to an electrician. Better safe than sorry!

Prices start on Amazon at $35.88.

 

The Bottom Line

There you have it! With a few reasonably priced, easy-to-install products, you will look forward to the next time you have to go see a man about a horse. If you’d like to share any other great ways to upgrade your RV bathroom, help out your fellow RVers and let us know in the comments.

Let’s face it. We own RVs because we love nature. And we love travel. But we also crave a few creature comforts that aren’t readily available if you’re tent camping alone. We want to watch the sunset and then climb into a bed. We enjoy a good hike, followed by a real shower. Protein bars are fine, but a hot meal is ever better.

You know exactly what we mean. As RVers, our vacations feature a unique blend of natural splendor and niche luxury. And no matter how nice your RV is (and there are some really nice ones on the market), you can always make it just a little more luxurious with a few extra touches. Because who says that a vacation home can’t come on wheels? (Definitely not us.)

Check out these five items that will take your RV from ordinary to resort-worthy with just a few clicks on Amazon.

 

Sheets, Glorious Sheets!

Breathable, cooling, hotel-style luxury every night.

You will likely average around eight hours a day in bed — don’t skimp on your sheets. These bad boys from CGK have more than 229K 5-star reviews and cost (just) under $30, so really it would be silly not to purchase them. Available in multiple sizes and an impressive 45 colors, you’ll have no problem matching your personal RV style. Shoppers also note that these sheets do not easily slip off the mattress and maintain their softness after multiple washes.

For you, that means you can lie down in luxury. No matter where you park.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $29.99.

 

Warm Towels On-Demand

Give your cabin the day-spa experience.

Nothing says vacation like heated towels. When that warm towel touches your skin, it’s a day-spa experience — the kind that transports you into the realm of total relaxation. This towel warmer has multiple timer settings and auto shutoff in case you get distracted by the luxury sheets that you just bought. (See above).  Sleek, lightweight, and space saving, you don’t want to skip this one.

Remember that towels are just the beginning! Almost any textile in your RV can be warmed, as long as it safely fits. Think of warm bathrobes, blankets and PJs. That’s the feeling of vacation. And if you camp in cooler climes, all the better.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $69.98.

 

A Little Fire Stick Binge

Float down a stream of movies and shows.

If your vacations are like ours, they’re busy. Beautiful, fun and busy! So when you retire from the hike, head back from the campfire or take a day to lie around, you may just want to relax. And float down the mighty Amazon Fire Stick stream.

It’s easy to install. You basically just plug it into your TV’s HDMI port and sign on. After that, you can lie back on those luxury sheets and wade into a river of streaming content that includes over 1.5 million TV episodes and movies. If you have a subscription to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max and others, you just log in. That way, you can make “Netflix and chill” your last vacay task each day.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $49.99.

 

Stunning Vacation Ambiance

Solar-powered tiki torches turn your RV into a mini resort.

Tiki torch light does something for the soul. And it is a good, good thing. But even though we love a beachy vibe, but who wants to deal with buying and transporting torch fuel? Not us.

The good news is that these solar-powered tiki torches change everything. This set of four solar powered lights give off flickering, realistic light that transforms a campsite in seconds. Need the perfect ambiance for dining al fresco? Done. These tikis hold a charge for up to ten hours in the summer and up to five hours in the winter, you can depend on these lights to illuminate all evening long while you watch the sun slip beneath the horizon. Waterproof and specifically designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, you won’t find yourself constantly moving these in and out of your RV.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $59.99

 

Softer Landings

Enjoy that first step outside your RV.

Durable, waterproof, reversible, stain-resistant and portable—these are a few of our favorite things when it comes to RV accessories. Lucky for you, we found a glorious outdoor rug that meets all of these requirements. Which means no more stepping outside in your bare feet directly onto campsite dirt and rocks. No, ma’am. You’re on vacation.

Also, being made from recycled plastic straws means that, not only can you feel morally superior about your purchase (look at you parking on the high ground), but you can also easily rinse your rug when it’s time to pack it up and head home. Available in four color patterns and multiple sizes, you can find the exact match for your camping setup.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $27.99.

 

A Final Word

Now, be advised: Once you up your RV game with these vacation worthy additions, you may never want to leave! At the very least you’re going to want to bring that towel warmer everywhere you go. Whether you go full-time or just head out for a weekend, we wish you health, happiness and soft sheets now and forevermore.

We can all agree that one of the best things about the RV life is quality family time — in theory. We can also agree that kiddos have a way of disrupting even the best laid plans. Which means that when that first inevitable cry of “I’m bored” echoes through the cabin, you need a plan. A plan to make your next stop with your sanity intact. A plan to enjoy a little time for yourself. And a plan to make that family time together truly memorable — both indoors and out.

These parent- and kid-approved items will help life on the road run a little smoother. Here’s our list of tools you need to entertain and safeguard your favorite little disruptors.

 

Indoor Activities

Easy-to-store activities for the road, rainy days and down time.

 

Connect 4

Since 1974, Connect 4 has been a part of family game nights — for brick-and-mortar and mobile homes alike. But what makes this particular game so great for RV families is that it’s simple. Young and old alike can play. This classic game is easy to understand and quick to set up (as long as things are relatively stationary … and yes, cruise control counts). Also, the games don’t take much time. That’s great if you only have a few minutes to spare while you make a stop.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $9.99.

 

Hedbanz

Hedbanz is another great game for all ages, again due to ease of play. Basically, it’s an updated version of “Who Am I?” that feels a little like charades. Except that you are allowed to talk (you’ll get some gems out of this), and you don’t have to stand up (perfect to play while driving). Also, a big win/win for parents is that the game itself is interactive for everyone involved. Everyone will laugh (good vibes), and you get a funny close-up of how your kids think (away from a screen). Best of all, because you can play it en route to your next destination, it makes the journey fun —which is right at the heart of RVing.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $16.99.

  

Collapsible Toy Chest

Look, we already know what you’re thinking: “Now that I’m buying this amazing stuff, where will I put it?” It’s the adult question every Rver has. Here’s the answer. This lightweight and foldable toy chest is sturdy with ample space for games, toys, stuffies and any other items that are kid-deemed necessities. Which is why reviewers love it.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $19.99.

 

Outdoor Activities

Kick the kids out of the RV and equip them for fun.

 

Foldable Pail Bucket with Shovels

Here’s a warning. If you park your RV near any sand at all, your kids will find it. They will play in it. And they will bring that sand into your RV. (Unless you spray them off with your outdoor shower head first!)

But the truth is, you don’t want to slow them down. Everyone loves driving to the beach. And for just under $20, your kids can spend afternoons outside making the best kind of mess. Just equip them. This foldable pail bucket with shovels is great if you’re near water, but can also be used to make some pretty amazing dirt pies — or if you’ve got the RV near a creek. The best part? The buckets fold up, so storage (we know your heart) in the RV is a breeze.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $19.99.

 

Play Tent and Camping Set

Teach ‘em young! This camping set will give your little one a feeling of independence as they go camping while you get to prep the s’mores. And don’t trivialize how big the impact can be. Inside their play camping set. They’ll do what they see you do. And they’ll naturally pick up on a big life lesson: The wild is more fun than any screen. Having your kids learn that is one of the biggest benefits of RVing.

Happy campers report that this toy is a big hit with kids age 5 and under. (But if you want to buy one for yourself, we won’t tell.)

Pricing starts on Amazon at $39.99.

 

Collapsible, Portable Cornhole Game

Yes, this little cornhole set is for kids. But good luck keeping the adults from playing it, because the only thing better than playing cornhole next to a campfire is playing cornhole on a set that folds up and weighs a mere 3.8 pounds! Moms, dads, kids and campsite neighbors will love this addition to your RV arsenal.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $36.99.

 

Safe Space for Babies

We want all members of the family to enjoy their time in the great outdoors, and this includes even the tiniest RVers. But the reality is that it can be hard. Especially when you need your hands and arms to prep your RV campsite.

This playpen from ZEEBABA clocks in at under 10 pounds and provides a safe place for hours of fun and (hopefully) napping. You don’t need to worry about your little one being isolated — one purchaser reported that this playpen had plenty of room for a baby, toddler, and an adult to sit on the padded mat for playtime. Sit them inside. Sit them outside. Wherever you are really. They’ll enjoy the open air, and you’ll enjoy having two free hands.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $51.09.

 

Sun and Pest Protection

Safeguard your kiddos from the elements and bugs.

Sunscreen

Nothing can ruin a vacation faster than a nasty sunburn. So, no one needs to convince you — RV parent sharing the outdoors with your progeny — that your kids need sunscreen. What you want to know is which one is the right one.

Thinkbaby 50 SPF is vegan, water resistant and provides broad spectrum protection against the sun, from sea to shining sea. One satisfied customer even declared this product to be the “holy grail of sunscreen.” Which means your quest is over.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $8.65.

  

Canopy Tent

The RV life exposes us all to a lot of sun. (Like tons.) Which means the whole family is always looking for a source of shade. So why not bring your own shade? Sure, you have your awning, but sometimes the right spot is not your parking spot.

We recommend this popup canopy that only requires one person to set up, and that’s no trail story. In addition, the canopy is sturdy and holds up well in the rain. So the whole family can sit outside and enjoy the elements without being *in* the elements.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $129.99.

 

Mosquito Repellent Stickers

One thing we could do without while camping are the mosquitos. If you prefer for your kids not to have that oily feel and bug spray smell (we know you do), check out these all-natural citronella stickers. The cute designs will be loved by the kids, and you will appreciate the portability and ease of application.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $14.95.

 

Mosquito Repellent Spray

If you want your ‘skeeter protection to pack a little more punch, this repellant spray from Babyganics utilizes plant and essential oils to keep the little buzzers at bay. Lasts for several hours, and is safe for both kids and adults.

Pricing starts on Amazon at $20.83.
