Ultimate Glamping Packing List: What To Pack For Your Glamping Bachelorette Party Vacation

We will break down everything you need to pack for your glamping trip below. Please note that certain glamping destinations provide more accommodations than others, so this is a general guide you can review before your bachelorette vacation. 

The Essentials

There are some key items that guests should pack whenever embarking on a camping or glamping trip. We will dive into which items to bring to your glampsite below, keeping in mind that glamping accommodations can range from tents and yurts to cabins, from open campfire cooking tools to essential toiletries. Check campground or property rules before packing so you know what is provided and what is allowed.

Beverages, Food, & Cooking Tools

Many glampsite have restaurants onsite or meals included with your stay. Although, we recommend packing some snacks, beverages, and cooking tools just in case, and to double check what cooking supplies are provided before you pack. If meals are not fully provided, a portable stove and basic cooking utensils can be useful for preparing simple meals. Some items you may want to have on your packing list are:

    •  Hard Cooler – These durable coolers, especially a bucket cooler, will help keep your food and drinks chilled throughout the entire glamping trip.

    • Outdoor Picnic Blank – Portable picnic blankets like this one are cozy, weather-resistant, and may be used again after your trip. 

    • Roasting Sticks – Making s’mores is essential on any camping trip, especially when bonding with your gal pals after months of stressful wedding planning. 

    • Wine Tumblers – To keep your drinks safe and cool, it may be beneficial to pack some portable wine tumblers, and a French press is a nice add-on for coffee lovers.  

Side Note: Don’t forget to pack champagne and lots of wine to sip on around the open campfire.

Clothes, Sleeping Bags & Toiletries

Though glamping is more luxurious than traditional tent camping, it does not mean you have to sacrifice on comfort. You will want to bring cozy, breathable, durable layers made with moisture-wicking fabrics to wear around the glampsite or out on the trails, plus warmer clothes for a chilly night and a rain jacket for unexpected showers. Although, feel free to pack some cute outfits to wear on excursions or take photographs in, and comfy bedding like pillows or extra blankets can be worth bringing if the site is more basic. 

Most glamping bachelorette party destinations also include top-quality toiletries, among other lavish amenities. However, we will suggest some beauty and clothing items that brides will not want to forget when packing for their bachelorette glamping trip, including reusable water bottles to help everyone stay hydrated around the site and on trails, plus eco-friendly toiletries like biodegradable soap and shampoo if they are not provided. 

    •  Bug Spray – This item is likely obvious; however, worth mentioning since insect repellent makes navigating The Great Outdoors much less miserable by helping protect against bug bites outdoors. 

    • First Aid Kit – You never know what can happen on camping trips, so bringing along a first aid kit is always important. 

    •  Hiking Shoes – Wearing hiking boots will keep your feet protected on the trail’s rough terrain, and closed-toed shoes are also a smart choice around the campfire. If all else fails, you may pack your favorite pair of comfortable sneakers instead. 

    •  Matching Pajama Sets – Wearing matching PJs, flannels, or t-shirts will make for a beautiful group photograph in front of your glampsite. 

    •  Sunscreen – Be sure to pack sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UV Rays. The Supergoop sunscreen linked is oil-free and perfect for layering underneath makeup.

Electronics

Though most campers tend to unplug when visiting nature, we are sure that brides will want to take many photographs and videos to remember their glamping bachelorette party experience. Below are a few electronics and accessories that will come in handy at your glampsite. 

    • portable speaker – A simple way to enhance the outdoor experience while relaxing at camp, this is great if your girl gang wants to listen to some tunes at the campsite, preferably one that lights up to double as a lantern and mood lighting for taking fun photographs. 

    •  Disposable Camera – These disposable cameras make a fun addition to welcome bags and are perfect for snapping memories of your glamping trip. 

    • Flash Light – These bright LED flashlights are excellent to use around the glampground when its dark. 

    •  Solar Power Bank – Portable chargers, like this solar-powered version, are essential to have on hand for hiking excursions and as a backup when outlets are unavailable, along with a phone charger so guests can stay connected. Portable furniture can elevate the glamping experience.   

Glamping Supplies For All Your Trips

The Fun Stuff

Now that we went over glamping essentials, it is time to get into the fun stuff. We will discuss all things party decorations, outdoor games, and other exciting items to pack for your bachelorette glamping celebration.  

Bachelorette Party Decorations

While party decorations depend on personal preference, the venue’s policies, and the type of glamping tent or site setup, it is still nice to get an idea of what to bring. A bell tent may suit soft, simple decor, while other setups can call for a different look, and most glamping destinations have event planners on staff as well that may assist your bridal party with setting the scene for the bride-to-be. 

    •  Banners & Balloons – You can never go wrong with ordering a multipack set to use for setting up the tent’s interior, and fairy lights are an easy add-on for a cozy nighttime atmosphere inside the tent. We also love this festive “flannels and fizz” banner that captures all the glamping vibes to a tee. 

    •  Naughty Straws & Other Drinking Accessories – We are sure brides and their gal pals intend to do some drinking on their glamping trip. Why not tie into the theme and use funny accessories like these naughty male stripper straws. 

    •  Matching Sunglasses & Photo Props – Your bride tribe will adore these adorable sunglasses. You may also want to purchase some photo props for shoots around the glampground. 

    •  Welcome Gifts – Some brides provide their gal pals with welcome gifts or party favors during bachelorette trips. You can find tons of inspiration on Etsy, Pinterest, or Tik Tok for ideas on what to include. We think that the canvas bag linked makes an excellent welcome bag starting point.

Entertaining Games

Several glamping bachelorette party destinations have outdoor games like cornhole set up on the grounds. We still recommend packing a couple of games to play inside and outside your glamp tents, along with a few fun activities to keep everyone entertained between meals and photos and add a little adventure to the weekend. 

    •  Cornhole

    •  Cards Against Humanity

    •  For The Girls Card Game

    •  Giant Jenga 

    • Playing Cards

    •  Yard
