Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to break away from the ordinary and create lasting memories with your loved one, skip the crowded restaurants and enjoy a romantic camping getaway. Whether you're an experienced camper or a first-timer, Portal Outdoors has everything you need for a cozy and unforgettable celebration, from camping chairs to tents, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to plan the perfect romantic camping trip with your special someone.

1. Choose the Perfect Spot

Start by choosing the right location, skip crowded campgrounds and explore public lands like BLM areas for privacy, stunning views, and space to hike, stargaze, or relax together, use a pre-downloaded map or a physical map to navigate to your secluded paradise.

For an extra touch of romance, pick a spot with minimal light pollution. Imagine snuggling up under a blanket of stars with your loved one—it’s the perfect setting for a Valentine’s Day to remember.

2. Set Up a Cozy Campsite

Once you’ve found your ideal location, it’s time to create a cozy and inviting campsite. Start by setting up your Portal Outdoors tent, designed for easy assembly and maximum comfort. Our spacious tents provide the perfect shelter for a romantic night under the stars.

Enhance the ambiance with battery-powered candles or twinkle lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Add a folding rocking chair or two for comfortable seating around the campfire. Don’t forget to lay out a soft blanket or sleeping bag for stargazing sessions.

3. Cook a Romantic Meal Together

Nothing says “I love you” like a homemade meal under the stars. With Portal Outdoors’ camping table, you’ll have the perfect surface for preparing and enjoying a romantic dinner. Whip up a gourmet meal using a cast-iron skillet over a campfire or camping stove.

For an easy meal, make a charcuterie board with cheeses, cured meats, olives, and fruit. Pair with wine or champagne in reusable glasses, and finish with chocolate fondue or s’mores.

4. Enjoy Outdoor Activities

Make the most of your time outdoors with activities like hiking or paddleboarding, supported by Portal Outdoors gear, our cart wagon is perfect for carrying supplies to your favorite picnic spot or hauling gear for a day of exploration.

Try something new together, like paddleboarding or learning a new skill—experiences that strengthen your bond and create lasting memories.

5. End the Day with a Campfire

No camping trip is complete without a campfire, gather around the flames with your Portal Outdoors camping chairs, toast marshmallows, and share stories or dreams for the future. For an extra romantic touch, bring along a portable speaker and play your favorite love songs.

If campfires aren’t allowed in your area, consider a portable table-side fire pit. It’s a safe and convenient alternative that still provides the warmth and ambiance of a traditional fire.

6. Pack the Essentials

To ensure a stress-free trip, make sure you’re prepared with all the essentials for your camping getaway. Here’s a quick checklist of what to bring, beyond the usual camping gear:

  • Tent
  • Comfortable seating (camping chairs, folding or rocking chairs)
  • Portable camping table
  • Wagon or cart for hauling gear
  • Sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows
  • Headlamps & flashlights
  • First aid kit
