Long hot days at Dove Cote Lodge Camping are filled with golden light, countryside stillness, and peaceful evenings by the firepit. But when the temperatures rise, a few practical camping tips can make your stay even more refreshing. Here's how to keep cool and comfortable under the Yorkshire sun.
This year we have seen some very hot summer weather. We want you to have an enjoyable stay at Dove Cote Lodge Camping, so enjoy our camping tips
🌳 1. Pitch in the Shade- A Hot Summer Tip
Choose a spot with natural shade from trees or hedgerows. Avoid setting up in direct sunlight, especially during midday and the hot summer weather — your tent can quickly turn into a greenhouse.
💨 2. Let Your Tent Breathe
Open windows and vents to allow airflow
Remove the rainfly if no rain is forecasted
Use mesh panels to keep bugs out while letting breezes in
🧊 3. Pack a Coolbox
Keep drinks chilled and food fresh. A double-walled cooler works best — and try not to open it too often to preserve the cold.
👕 4. Dress for the Weather
Wear light-colored, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen
Avoid tight-fitting clothes and dark colors that trap heat
Don’t forget your sunhat and sunglasses!
🚿 5. Cool Down Before Bed
Take a cool shower or splash your face and neck with water before sleeping. A damp towel across your forehead can work wonders.
🐾 6. Keep Pets Comfortable
Provide shade and fresh water
Avoid walking on hot ground
Never leave pets unattended in tents or vehicles
💧 7. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day — even if you don’t feel thirsty. Electrolyte drinks or fruit like watermelon can help too.
🐜 8. Beat the Bugs
Use natural insect repellents or citronella candles. Keep tents zipped and avoid leaving food out.
🌅 9. Time Your Activities
Enjoy walks and hikes early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler. Midday is perfect for relaxing in the shade with a book.
🧺 10. Embrace No-Cook Meals
Salads, wraps, and chilled snacks are perfect for hot days. Save the BBQ for cooler evenings.
These hot summer weather camping tips are designed to make your stay at Dove Cote Lodge Camping both refreshing and peaceful — even on the warmest days.
