Some newlyweds go camping on their honeymoon, either because they love camping or because they're strapped for cash, or both. The skeptical among you are probably already thinking about the bugs, the cold, the grime, the rain, and all the other things that can make camping uncomfortable and decidedly unromantic. However, if you plan it right, you can enjoy a wonderful and hassle-free camping honeymoon.
If comfort is a priority, or if you're inexperienced campers, you should camp at a national park or some other location where you can set up camp near your car. Car camping may not be adventurous, but it lets you take more of the things you might need, and you'll be able to escape to a motel if things turn sour. If tents aren't your thing, you might consider staying in a cabin or a cottage.
If you go the tent and sleeping bag route, make sure you plan for the weather. Choose a tent that will stand up to a heavy downpour (you can test it with a garden hose), and choose sleeping bags rated for the coldest temperatures you might have to endure. Choose sleeping bags that can be zipped together. Be sure to look into pads that can be placed underneath your sleeping bags, which will create a comfortable cushion between you and the hard ground.
Take comfortable clothing that's appropriate for the weather, and be sure to wear layers so you can dress down when it gets warmer. Also, bring insect repellent. It's hard to feel romantic when you're constantly swatting mosquitoes.
It requires a little planning and forethought, but if you take the time to do it right, you'll have a romantic camping experience that you'll never forget.
