Camping Sleeping Bags - Comfort For Your Camping Trip

No matter how much you like roughing it when you go camping, you really still want a good night's sleep, otherwise you won't really enjoy the next day of your camping trip.

You need a good high quality, weather resistant and durable sleeping bag to ensure that good night's sleep.

Sleeping bags come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and styles. In addition to the single person bag there are comfortable and warm bags for children and double sized camping bags so you and your loved one can sleep together even while roughing it on a camping trip.

If camping in a colder climate then the thermal camping bags are the thing to buy. On those really cold nights you will be glad you did. Check the weather before you go, because after you are miles from home in the woods it is too late to find out that you have the wrong sleeping bag.

You basically have a choice between a goose down and a synthetic one. A goosedown bag is very warm and lightweight which makes carrying it a lot easier. It compresses easily and when you are ready to use the sleeping bag it regains its shape nicely.

Because of the light weight the goosedown will be a good choice if you are backpacking, hiking and camping. It is not good for a goosedown bag to get wet because it will lose its insulating benefits. So, be sure you know your weather conditions before you pack.

If camping in wet conditions, like boating, sleeping on the ground or during rainy season, then the synthetic sleeping bag might be a better choice. The synthetic type bags will keep its warmth even when wet and they also dry quicker.

However, the synthetic sleeping bag is heavier than the goosedown version, and therefore are not a favorite for backpacking.

So, know your camping plans and plan your sleeping needs before you leave.

Depending on your camping trip plans you may not even want a sleeping bag. If you are camping with kids you may prefer an Camping Sleeping Bags or something like a Coleman Air Bed for the adults on the trip. These portable, inflatable beds are comfortable and very easy to inflate and deflate. They are lightweight and easy to carry. Kids love them and often want to continue to sleep on these air mattress even when they get back home.
