Holidays in a tent give you the freedom you want and allow you to spend your holidays without having to book accommodation in advance. You can pitch your tent at any campsite at any time without the stress that your holiday will be spoiled by bad weather. Before going camping, however, you should think about properly securing your personal belongings, especially if you go on holiday without a car. How to keep your luggage safe under a tent?

How to protect personal belongings under a tent?

Hiking with a tent and all your luggage on your back is the most effective way to protect your personal belongings when sleeping outside a hotel or resort. Tourists who pitch a tent every evening and set off on their journey in the morning do not have to worry that in their absence someone will enter their temporary "home" and steal something.

The situation is different for people who stay overnight at the campsite and spend time outside the tent during the day. The easiest way to protect your personal belongings from theft is to carry them with you. A waist bag or a small backpack for documents, wallet, phone and other valuable items will be useful throughout the trip. If there are no valuable small items or money in the tent, the risk of theft is low.

After leaving the tent, remember to lock it. It is difficult to enter a closed tent unnoticed and take valuable items from it. A stranger at the campsite will certainly attract the attention of other tourists, who usually know each other well by sight. However, this solution may not work for people who stay at the campsite for only 1-2 days and do not know who pitched the tent next to them.

Use of luggage storage

If you want to go camping for 2-3 nights and be sure that your luggage is safe, you can use the luggage storage facility. Luggage left in a locked box during the day is well protected against theft. With the help of the Usebounce search engine, users book storage space and pay for the protection of their personal belongings in a few minutes. Thanks to this, they do not have to leave them in the tent at the campsite and worry that someone will steal them while they are exploring the area or sunbathing on the beach.

This solution will work well, for example, for people who have gone to the Baltic Sea - they will find, among others: Luggage storage Sopot in an attractive location.

Using luggage storage allows you to protect your personal belongings also in the event of sudden, heavy rainfall. Not all tents are highly resistant to rain, so they may leak at the seams. Placing luggage in the storage room reduces the risk that tourists, upon returning to the tent, will find wet clothes, cosmetics and other items that they left inside the tent bedroom.

Suitcase with a lock with a combination or padlock

Under the tent, it is worth using suitcases and tourist backpacks with special locks that can be opened using a combination or key. Thieves rarely take the risk of looking through items in the tent for long periods of time, so any protection of your luggage is better than no protection at all. Having to enter a combination or cut a padlock discourages and slows down a potential thief, putting him at risk of being caught.A padlock with a combination or a luggage key costs little, but effectively improves the level of protection of items left in the tent. Thanks to it, you can secure all things that, due to their size, do not fit into a fanny pack or a backpack taken on a trip, to the beach, etc.

As the purpose of our holiday trip we chose Lake Garda, which we have already visited before and we remembered how nice it is. On the way, we decided to make a stop for a few days in Austria, which we usually avoided. But now, traveling with a two-year-old, we've set our minds for a longer and more comfortable journey. On the way to Italy, we had two stops, the first in the Czech Republic at the campsite http://www.kemp-merkur.cz/ Pasohlávky. There are many attractions there, such as an amusement park or a wakepark, and right next to an aquapark. We chose Lake Attersee for our second stop . Austrians love camping, so in high season there are problems with finding places to stay. We found the campsite https://www.camping-seensucht.at with a swimming pool, a lake, a playground, a restaurant and a fairytale-like location. We stayed for a few days and gathered in Italy. In 2015, August was outrageously hot, the temperature at night did not drop below 30 degrees. Our first stop by the Garda was camping Baldo http://www.campingbaldo.com/ , which is our favorite. There are few places in this intimate campsite, but each one with a lake view. The beach is separated only by a fence and a pedestrian and bicycle path. The conditions at the campsite are adequate for the price, it is clean and tidy, and you can eat and drink in the pub. And a complete lack of commercialism. The towns nearby are amazing, tailored to hiking and biking tours. After we said goodbye to Baldo, we headed towards Lazise. It is a beautiful town with a harbor, and the campsites around provide everything except the climate, unfortunately. We missed the unpretentiousness of a small campsite, but our daughter enjoyed the attractions of a large campsite - swimming pool, activities for children, parties for toddlers, etc. Unfortunately, we missed Sirmione due to the event which closed the entire area. We stayed in Toscolano Maderno, where we stay for two nights. The choice of campgrounds is good and the surroundings are pleasant, although the beach is full of algae and some dirt. We continue to the north of Garda. The fewer and fewer campsites on the west coast and the total lack of places make us say goodbye to Garda and look for accommodation on Lake Lago di Ledro. There are several campsites there, the most beautiful one is Camping al Sole, but due to the heat on the Garda, many tourists decided to take a breather at this small lake, where the temperature is 10 degrees lower and therefore there were no vacancies. Lago do Ledro is a fantastic base for hiking, biking, canoeing and other activities. The campsite we stayed at was Camping Azzurro.
