Planning a romantic camping getaway for you and your partner but need some help crafting the perfect experience?
As outdoor lovers ourselves, we know that there’s nothing more romantic than enjoying some time in the great outdoors with your partner. Planning that perfect wilderness retreat, however, can be a challenge since there are so many details that you have to get just right.
Luckily for you, we’re here to help.
In this guide, we’ll provide you with some of our top tips for planning a couple’s camping getaway. From cooking up a scrumptious 3-course meal to stargazing after a long day of adventure, here are 11 great romantic camping ideas to try out on your next outing.
If there’s 1 thing that you definitely shouldn’t overlook when planning a romantic camping trip, it’s the importance of picking a secluded campsite.
While it might seem easier to camp in one of the large campgrounds in Yosemite National Park , there’s no better way to ruin the atmosphere of your romantic retreat than to have a family with young kids running around outside your tent.
Now, don’t get us wrong – we love kids. But, they’re not exactly ideal when you’re trying to spend quality time with your partner.
So, as you plan your trip, try to find a more secluded campsite. This could be at a smaller campground in Joshua Tree National Park or at a backcountry site along the Appalachian Trail .
Once you have the perfect secluded campsite, it’s time to turn your camping area into a romantic getaway.
Doing so starts with ensuring that your tent is as comfortable as can be. Therefore, we recommend investing in a spacious 4 person tent or even a glamping tent for your adventure.
After you set up your tent, consider accessorizing it with romantic items, like string lights , to help set the mood. Cozy blankets and pillows can also go a long way toward creating the ideal outdoor retreat.
More often than not, cooking while camping is all about keeping things as simple as possible. But, when you’re on a romantic camping trip, it’s worth putting in a little bit of extra effort.
In particular, cooking a delightful multi-course meal can be a great way to show your partner that you care. Of course, no one expects you to get super fancy, but a bit of creativity during your trip can go a long way.
To make things easier for yourself, you could try making a 3-course meal. The first course could be as simple as a cheese and cracker platter and the dessert could be s’mores over the campfire. Then, all you have to figure out is a main course that you both love and enjoy.
As an added bonus, you could invest in a nice set of camping mess kits. Then, you could set the table before your meal to make it a romantic dinner for 2 in the backcountry.
If you want to take your meals to the next level in terms of romantic quality, a sunset picnic is hard to beat.
All you need for your picnic is a set of blankets , your camping mess kits, a cooler with all your food, and a destination that’s ideal for viewing the sunset.
If you want to keep things simple, you can pre-cook your meal at your campsite and then pack it with you to your sunset viewing location. Alternatively, you can always cook at your scenic overlook if you remember to pack your stove , cookware , and other camping kitchen essentials .
When the sun goes down, going stargazing is always a popular choice among camping couples.
If you happen to be in an International Dark Sky Place , like Death Valley National Park , you might be able to do most of your stargazing from your campground. Otherwise, it might be worth hiking or driving to a more remote section of a park to ensure that you’ll get a good view of the night sky.
That being said, there are a few things you shouldn’t go stargazing without. In particular, it’s often wise to bring your sleeping pads and summer sleeping bags to help you stay warm during the evening. Additionally, if it’s really cold outside, you might consider packing some heated gloves, too, to help you stay warm .
Your summer sleeping bag is an essential part of any camping gear list . But, being tucked away in a separate sleeping bag from your partner isn’t exactly romantic.
Thankfully, there’s a solution to this perpetual problem, a double sleeping bag .
With the right double sleeping bag in tow, you and your partner can enjoy a great night’s sleep in the outdoors together.
However, we would also recommend investing in a double-size air mattress or cot if you choose to use a double sleeping bag. That’s because using two separate sleeping pads under a double sleeping bag is a surefire way to create gaps of padding underneath you at night.
So, opting for a double-size air mattress or cot can help ensure that you stay cozy throughout the night.
There are few things in this world that scream romance more than a campfire. Therefore, planning a campfire as one of your evening activities during your trip is sure to impress your partner.
The good news is that most campgrounds have fire rings or fire pits at each campsite for you to use during your stay. If this is the case, you’ll just need to get some firewood, tinders , and firestarters before your trip.
That being said, if you’re going on a backpacking trip with your partner, it’s important that you understand local fire regulations before your adventure. Be sure to check on the status of any ongoing fire bans before planning that romantic campfire during your trip.
Playing silly games with your partner is a great way to bond and enjoy time in each other’s company. After a long day of hiking and adventuring, playing a few games before bed can also be a nice activity to help you unwind.
So, before you head to your campsite for your trip, consider packing a few camping games . Even a fun card game after dinner can help set the mood for the rest of the evening.
To help make your camping trip special, consider bringing a bottle of wine or some bubbly on your adventures. An evening toast around the campfire or a quick glass at the summit of your peak ascent can be a great way to cap off an amazing day outside with your partner.
However, do keep in mind that it’s generally best to avoid bringing glass into the great outdoors. So, it’s often worth investing in some unbreakable wine glasses or even some camping mugs to avoid any broken glass mishaps on the trail.
If you want to enjoy some lazy days around the campsite, packing a hammock for relaxation is often a great idea.
Even if you don’t want to sleep in your hammock, having a double hammock on hand can provide you with a quick and easy place to hang out while at your campsite.
You might also consider bringing a hammock bug net for your trip if you’re camping somewhere that’s particularly buggy. Doing so will give you a romantic and bug-free place to enjoy each other’s company during your trip.
Last but not least, don’t forget to take some photos of your adventure.
Although living in the moment is important while camping with your partner, you also want to have some photos from your travels to help you reminisce about your experiences down the line.
Your smartphone is always an option for taking photos, but if you’re looking for higher-quality images, you might consider a compact digital camera. If you do choose to bring a camera, though, it’s often best to bring a hiking camera strap, too. These camera straps can help ensure that your camera is always at the ready to help you capture that perfect moment.

Romance is about engaging all the senses and creating an intentionally romantic ambiance. Romantic camping is comfortable, sensuous, indulgent, and languid. Setting the scene and making it much more luxurious than your usual trips, creating the promise of days (and nights) of romance!
Two things that really make your camping trip more romantic are surprise and anticipation. You can tell your partner what you’re planning, especially if they don’t like surprises but once they are there you can leave little surprises in various places around the campsite to delight them when they find them.
Never camped before? Don’t have the right gear for a romantic camping weekend? Then spend the money and lash out with an all-inclusive, already set up, romantic glamping campsite. There are a lot of these glamorous camping sites around these days and maybe it’s time you tried one out and made someone’s day (and night) by taking your loved one on a romantic glamping holiday. Book it tonight!
Find a spot where you can be alone but close enough to the car to be able to take all the romantic extras with you. Unless you are both avid backcountry hikers, what you are aiming for is somewhere not too far off the beaten track where man-handling all the luxuries to the campsite is easy enough to do single-handedly.
Pick a beautiful place to camp. A big part of the experience is visual so pick a place with a view or a place that has lots of trees, a stream, feels secluded, or is appealing to you because of the environment. Make sure it’s not anywhere near other campers. Mum and Dad yelling at the kids all day in the campsite next door is going to ruin any chance of creating a romantic atmosphere.
Go for a nice roomy tent. (You never know what you’ll need the space for) and deck it out with a nice big mattress, loads of blankets, and plenty of pillows. Make it inviting and feel luxurious.
A few battery-powered lanterns or a string of (already charged) solar or battery-powered fairy lights around the tent entrance or even up the ceiling will add the right amount of romantic lighting. You can also put them in the trees around the campsite so you can look at them from the campfire and your tent. Add fairy lights to a mosquito net around a rug piled with pillows and blankets.
Consider using Mason jars or bottles with solar-powered lights inside which look lovely around a campsite as well.
And for the creative romantic, put the fairy lights in the shape of a heart on the ground, inside the tent, or even in the trees to show how you feel!
Plan on having a fire, not necessarily for cooking on, but for the ambiance and enchantment. Remember, everyone looks good in the firelight, and loved ones, even more so!
Depending on where you are and how practical it is, the campfire that can be seen from inside the tent allows you to enjoy the romantic lighting once you jump into bed!
Keep things even cozier around the fire by bringing blankets, warm drinks, pillows and camp chairs with you to create a romantic feel.
Try a novelty fire item called Mystical Fire.™ It’s a small packet that costs only a few dollars online and will change the colors of your campsite flame. Simply throw a packet or two or three on the fire and watch the new colors that Mystical Flame will create for you for the next hour or so. Talk about doing something different that your partner will remember forever!
You’ll want to spend lots of time talking (tip for the guys, talking into the night is romantic for girls) so get some comfortable chairs, rugs mats, pillows, and blankets and set up a lovely little place that you two can spend hours in, talking and looking into each other’s eyes. Make it so comfortable you never want to leave.
Bring along a small speaker so you can relax to your favorite tunes by the fire. Create a playlist of the songs that let your partner know how you feel or one that you know will delight them because it’s filled with their personal favorites.
Download romantic songs before you leave in case there’s no reception and spend the evening deciding together, which one will be your forever song!
Give the greatest gift of all. Your time and attention. Prepare for a trip where your main focus is the comfort and well-being of your partner. Showing you care so much to make this camping trip special will deepen the relationship.
Before you leave, google your partner’s name and see if there is a star named after them and see if you can find it in your night sky. Get a star map and see if you can find the constellations that are famous in your part of the world.
And if you can’t? Make them up! Romance is about creating memories and special times together that no one else knows about.
Romantic camping trips involve effort. The meals are meant to be a notch above your usual trip, so pull out all the stops and create a simple three-course meal to show you care. Pre-prepare your meals at home so you can enjoy a gourmet meal, even in the bush.
Bring along an easy-to-put-together cold starter or appetizer that you can enjoy without any fuss. Mini Antipasto skewers, cheese platters with fresh fruit and champagne with strawberries are all easy, and impressive.
A main course that involves the fire can be fun. Sausages on a stick, baked potatoes, grilled steak, or a slow-cooked stew are all great contenders.
And dessert? Well, S’mores must be the easiest camping dessert ever but there are plenty of others like fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate, cook a dessert in a Pie Iron or even try campfire banana boats. Sooo good!
Even if aphrodisiac foods don’t actually work, they are symbolic of your desires and are definitely worth bringing along. You can express your yearning for your partner with traditional erotic foods such as asparagus in hollandaise sauce, chocolate-covered strawberries, figs, oysters, watermelon, and honey. It’s up to you how you use them!
Assuming you are of legal age, bring along a few adult drinks to enjoy around the fire at night. Toast each other and make compliments each time you sip your champagne, wine, hot toddy, or even cup of tea. Saying nice things about each other will boost your endorphins, and who knows where that will lead ????
Pack some delectables that are a bit more special than your usual afternoon snack and find a place facing West to watch the sunset below the horizon. A glass of bubbles, a blanket, and a view. Simple, but very romantic! Or alternatively, watch the sunrise from your tent or get up and find a vantage spot and watch the new day dawn with a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
Go on a walk or hike to a beautiful spot and take a special lunch or snack with you. Find a spot where you can spread out your special nibbles and enjoy a leisurely moment reveling in each other’s company with more luxurious things to eat than the usual hiking fare. It shows you cared enough to do something special. Don’t forget the picnic blanket!
Reconnect or create new connections by leaving the wifi off and spending time gazing at each other and not at your screen. Use your phone’s camera to capture these special times but wait till your heading home before sharing it with the world.
If you find a secluded campsite, and it has a river, lake, or beach nearby, swimming or just relaxing at the water’s edge, is a romantic way to spend a lazy afternoon. If it’s safe and you are both good swimmers, consider an after-dark dip!
Just hanging out together, snoozing, reading, or chatting is another perfect opportunity to bond with each other. Being comfortable in each other’s company is a nice way to spend some time. Make up stories to amuse each other about the shapes you find in the clouds on a hot afternoon. Remember a blanket and a couple of pillows – and maybe a glass of wine!
Bring along some fun and fast games from your childhood or ones that make you laugh now. Laughing together is a great way to bond! You might find it fun to engage in highly competitive games that release a bit of adrenaline and keep you both laughing!
Pack your guitar, harmonica or just sing to your lover by the fire, on the edge of a lake, or on the summit of a hill. Create a really romantic moment that will be remembered for years to come.
Try a romantic walk by moonlight, starlight, or even torchlight and explore your camping area and enjoy the closeness of being the only people in your little world. Hold hands. The lack of light enhances your other senses and can create an intimacy that you won’t find in the same spot at midday!
Romantic camping for couples is all about taking the time and effort to make things special. Go all out and make it a fun weekend for you both while creating memories and deepening the bonds between you. Try a romantic weekend if you’ve never done it before, or think about penciling it in for the next Valentine’s Day!
