Whether you spend your Easter holiday in a tent or a caravan, this autumn long-weekend is one that is sure to create memorable moments. Spending time with friends and family is made all the better when you reach ultimate relaxation mode sooner with some of our holiday hacks.

 

Snackable Goodies to Fuel Your Days

All car journeys call for snacks to keep all the family happy. Think snack boxes with nuts, dried fruits, or energy bars that offer quick nutrition. For a sweet treat, share packs are great for little treats along the way. Fresh fruit is always a winner, store in an esky to keep at a perfect temperature. 

Shop Local for Your Camping Adventure

By the time you have packed the car, it can be hard to fit in all the food required for a long trip. This is when supporting local businesses just makes sense. You'll have the freshest ingredients (because no one wants bananas that have been sitting in a hot car all day) and get to experience local products to the area that you are travelling in. Drop into the local FoodWorks store at your holiday destination and ask the friendly team for local product recommendations - you never know what you might find!

Easy Food Ideas for Hassle-Free Camping

No one wants to be stuck in a camping chair chopping veggies all day. The trick to satisfying but simple camping meals starts with pre-preparation. Opt for one-pot wonders like hearty soups, stews, or casseroles you can easily warm up. Make life easier wherever you can, select the pre-prepared vegies, use the pancake shake mix, choose the pre-marinated meat - you are on holiday after all! 

Camping Gear Prep for Easter Comfort

Given the time of year, the weather may still have a nip in the air, especially at night. Ensure your camping gear is appropriate for cooler temperatures. Pack extra blankets, thermal wear, and make sure your sleeping bag is up for the job. Ensure that all battery packs are fully charged and don't forget the gas bottle for the BBQ!

 

We hope these tips help you enjoy a holiday that’s as delightful as an Easter morning. Happy camping!
