A new year is the perfect time to set goals, and for camping enthusiasts, it’s a chance to plan exciting outdoor adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just starting, setting specific resolutions can help you explore more, try new activities, and challenge yourself. Here are five camping goals to kickstart your 2025 adventures.
1. Try a New Type of Camping
Switch up your usual camping routine by trying a new style of camping. If you're used to car camping, consider backpacking for a more immersive experience, or challenge yourself with winter camping to enjoy snowy landscapes. Alternatively, try glamping for a mix of comfort and nature. Pick one new camping style this year to keep things fresh and exciting.
2. Explore New Destinations
2025 is the year to visit new places! If you’ve camped at the same spots year after year, challenge yourself to explore different destinations. Whether it’s a remote national park, a hidden state park, or a coastal campground, try to camp in a new location each season. New places will fuel your curiosity and give you fresh adventures to look forward to.
3. Increase Your Outdoor Skills
Camping is a great way to learn new skills. This year, focus on mastering something like fire-building, cooking over an open flame, or using a map and compass for navigation. Choose one or two skills to focus on during your trips, and use each adventure to become more self-reliant and confident in the outdoors.
4. Camp More Often
One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is to camp more regularly. Set a goal to camp at least once a month or plan a trip in each season. You don’t need to go for long trips—short, weekend stays can be just as refreshing. More frequent trips will help you build a consistent camping habit and give you more time to unwind in nature.
5. Practice Mindfulness and Leave No Trace
Camping is an opportunity to slow down and appreciate the world around you. This year, focus on being mindful—whether through journaling, photography, or simply sitting quietly in nature. At the same time, commit to following Leave No Trace principles to minimize your environmental impact and preserve nature for future generations.
Final Thoughts
The new year is a great time to set camping goals that will enhance your outdoor experiences. Whether you try a new camping style, explore different destinations, or focus on improving your skills, these goals will make 2025 your most adventurous year yet. Grab your gear and get ready for new experiences—happy camping!
