What does a good camper carries in his suitcase?

Finally the holidays have arrived. It's time to enjoy unforgettable days, to rest and have fun for the whole family. Even more, if the plan for the summer includes days of entertainment at a camping in Benidorm where you can stay surrounded by nature and good company.

The Villamar and Villasol campsites in Benidorm, offer the best facilities, and a solid experience, covering the needs of our visitors. That’s why we decided to make a list of tips on what to put in the suitcase as a good camper:

Toiletries: basic, of course. Gel, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush ... and a light towel! A good camper does not need much more, and limiting the amount of luggage, weight products will be significantly reduced.

Skin protection: cream with a good solar factor and a mosquito repellent are two key products in the life of a good camper. Without them there is a risk of suffering pecks or burns that can spoil idyllic days of fun.

Basic First Aid Kit: camping must continue with regular medication, if taken, but also should be included painkillers and anti-inflammatory, an antihistamine, iodine or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect and, of course, gauzes , bandages and medical tape.

Yes, it is important to note that medications should be stored in a cool place, if possible, closed and out of reach of children. It is also essential to always wear sunscreen and mosquito repellent, to avoid dangerous burns and nasty peck.

Technological devices: a mobile phone is, today, the form of contact with the world, along with a powerful camera of photos and videos to remember, a radio and a music storage system.

Therefore it is essential not to forget your charger at home. In addition, other devices are useful as GPS, iPad or electronic book.

For those not traveling with Smartphone should consider buying batteries for the radio, camera and, of course, for the flashlight. Another must is a compass, though ... you must know how to use it!

Documentation: before leaving trip is advisable to check the identity card, passport (if you go abroad) and the health card are in force, and to be included in the backpack when you go to camping.

A wallet with some credit card is safe, but in the countryside it is difficult to use, since many establishments still not allowed. It is therefore advisable to carry cash divided in different areas of luggage.

Clothing: what to pack is a function of what each one chooses, you cannot miss swimwear, outerwear (in the field it’s usually cool), comfortable walking shoes, flip-flops for the pool and showers, short and long pants and shirts that do not need ironing.

Also, to mark clothes can be a great idea, if it will be a laundry or hang them in a public area. One trick when packing is to put the clothes making "rolls" with it, since it will take up less space in your backpack and wrinkle less.

Accessories: sunglasses cannot be overlooked, and a hat to protect the head during excursions. In
addition, a sarong or large scarf is very useful because it can be used to improvise a shawl, a scarf, or a rudimentary tablecloth. In case it rains, it never hurts to include a raincoat or collapsible umbrella ... for summer storms!

Shoes: is the most uncomfortable thing to keep in a suitcase, because they never fit ... so our solution is easy, get a pair of shoes (as comfortable as possible), and flip-flops for the pool.

And to be most farsighted, a good camper always leaves a small space in your suitcase for possible purchases or souvenirs, because in the end, they’re always there.

With the suitcase made and everything prepared, there’s only to enjoy the wonderful stay at our campsites Villasol or Villamar, in the best company and also ... with everything you need!

The new phenomenon of "Glamping" is here: Camping with Glamor.

The camping has generated some passions and distrusts since its generalization as a new form of tourism, back in the 60s. Traveling in motorhome or with a trailer was almost a new form of adventure that became popular in our country, which also had suitable climate and landscape to become a paradise for campers from all over Europe.
The camping enthusiasts highlighted the most flexibility and the best prices as the main advantages of camping in nature, compared to conventional accommodations such as hostels and hotels. His detractors, however, fled from what some considered an uncomfortable tourist solution and not very glamorous, with no privacy or comfort.
The XXI century, which will possibly go down in history as the one for tourism innovation, has brought, among many other interesting trends in consumption, the maximum customization of the tourist experience as essential tip of any business in the service sector. There is no longer "good and bad" in tourism, or "expensive or cheap." Today, luxury is precisely for the traveller to choose.
Thus, a post hippy concept like camping, the most innovative tourism businesses have managed to evolve towards the 'glamping', born from the union of 'camping' and 'glamor'.
This concept is based on the sophistication of the concept of outdoor camping, providing the traveller with luxury services in first class accommodations. It is simply raising the stay in the countryside to the premium category level, and it is not too far from concept of the expeditions or the camping journeys from the European wealthy travellers to areas where there were no five-star hotels so they had to rest under starry skies, as the African savannah or the Middle East.
 The range of choice is immense: there are tipis, jaimas or cabanas in which the decoration and the equipment are cared to the last detail: king size beds, private bathroom with toiletries, towels, electricity and hot water exactly like they could find in any hotel.
Camping Villasol in Benidorm, is a magnificent example of Glamping in Benidorm. High class accommodation, with services and facilities like a hotel, but where the customers do not have to renounce the atmosphere and the flexibility of a campsite. Among its wide range available, we can highlight the Resort and the Suites as models of 'glamping'.
The Resort is characterized by being located in a private setting surrounded by an exclusive garden of subtropical vegetation.
The campsite has sixteen deluxe bungalows fully equipped and decorated in a modern and cosy way, creating an innovative concept of accommodation.
Meanwhile, the suites are very spacious and fully equipped rooms designed to enjoy nature and the atmosphere of camping but with the comfort of a hotel room.
 Each suite has its own bathroom, a splendid private terrace and a parking adjacent, not forgetting facilities such as WIFI and television.
In addition, Camping Villasol offers a restaurant and cafeteria, outdoor pool with poolside snack bar, heated pool, supermarket, shower block, basketball and petanque courts.
Camping Villasol is the most complete and updated experience of 'glamping in Benidorm' in a privileged environment as is the city of Benidorm.
