5 Camping Must-Haves

1. Floaties!

Cody has a whole fleet of them in assorted shapes, sizes, and colours! Mattress, boat, chair - he’s got it all. Except I’d love to get one of those inflatable swans that you keep seeing all over Instagram. It’s so much fun to take some drinks and snacks and then just relax on a lake! An essential that goes along with this would be a battery-powered air pump. This was a recent addition to Cody’s gear, and honestly it makes a world of difference! No more exhausting hand pumping or having to hook up a pump to your car. The battery lasted the whole weekend, and we used it quite a bit (air mattress in the tent plus three big floaties, and air top-offs throughout).

Levette Lake Camping | Squamish, BC

My boyfriend and I decided to go for a little weekend camping trip to his favourite spot, Levette Lake. We left work early to get a headstart on our getaway. It was a beautiful and hot Friday, but I got a wee bit carsick on the drive, since the highway between Vancouver and Squamish is super windy. Then to reach the campground you have to drive up a steep, rocky, and very bumpy logging road.

Squamish Day 2

I woke up around 6am feeling well rested, so I got up and did some writing while Cody slept in. Unfortunately the wifi in the cabin was terrible, but I still felt pretty productive! Once Cody got up we made coffee and watched 101 Dalmatians. 

Squamish Day 1

My boyfriend and I decided to do a weekend trip to celebrate Valentine’s Day! We left for Squamish just after lunch time, but had to make a couple stops along the way to pick up a few groceries as well as some firewood from one of Cody’s job sites. The Airbnb cabin we were staying at had a wood burning stove! I was so excited to have a cozy rainy weekend in front of the fire watching old VHSs, reading, and eating!
