The season for embracing the great outdoors is here! June is National Camping Month and we’re excited to spend as much time as we can in nature. We believe that a day spent outdoors is a day truly well spent. And what better way to fully embrace the wilderness than by pitching a tent and living amidst the trees and the birds?
Camping is perfect for getting your nature fix while leaving your regular life behind and seeing different parts of the country. However, camping doesn't mean you have to forgo your way of living. There are steps you can take to camp in style, and we can help you do that! In honor of Wondercide celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, we’ve put together a list of 15 must-have items to ensure that you have the most lavish camping experience possible.
1. Bell Yurt Tent
This extravagant, uniquely-structured tent will leave even the squirrels feeling jealous of you. Its modernized shape and quirky design will allow you to feel right at home as you fill it with your own decor and wilderness memories.
2. CampStove Complete Cook Kit
This portable kitchen will allow you to whip up any meal you’re nature-loving heart desires from grilling vegetables to boiling pasta. It’s easy to use and comes equipped with a Portable Grill, KettlePot, and CoffeePress. This is the perfect item to ensure that you don’t miss out on any five-star meals while you’re away in the woods.
3. Dog Evacuation Go Pack
For those exploring nature with their furry companion, this nifty pack comes complete with everything you and your pup will need to have the best trip possible. You’ll be strapped with a couple different lined carriers for dog food, collapsible silicone bowls for meal time, an emergency blanket, an adult raincoat, a tie-out cable, an ID tag, a reflective dog collar, waste bag rolls, and many handy compartments to keep leashes, supplies, and a water bottle holder in the bottom of the pack.
4. Treeline bean toss
Between hikes and naps by the lake, you’ll want to bring along a game to enjoy with the family. This tree-themed bean bag toss game will keep everyone occupied for hours. It’s simple and doesn’t require much setting up or cleaning.
5. Wondercide Insect repellent
The downside to spending time in nature and in the woods is that not all wildlife is pleasant to hang out with. Bugs can be a discouraging factor when deciding whether or not to embrace camping. But fret no more! With Wondercide’s Insect Repellent, you can help evade unwanted mosquitoes and ticks and enjoy your adventure to the fullest. The sprays are safe for the whole family and come in four popular scents: cedarwood, peppermint, lemongrass, and rosemary. If you're taking your furry friend along, you'll want to have this flea and tick spray on hand to keep fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes away from your dog or cat. Wondercide’s products are cruelty free and lab proven to work.
6. Inflatable kayak
Experiencing the outdoors means adventuring through all different terrains, including water. It’s not always easy to carry around kayaks and keep them strapped to your car roof. Skip that tedious step and bring an inflatable kayak to whip out on a nearby lake or river and enjoy a soothing ride downstream.
7. Tiny Survival Guide Book
You can never be too prepared for an adventure. Nature isn’t always predictable and we want to know what’s in store for us. This easily-carryable survival guidebook shares the ins and outs of nature troubles and talks you through common camping mistakes and mishaps.

And you’ll want to indulge in some delicious vegan marshmallows to complete this irresistible summer dessert.
9. Helio LX Pressure Shower
While it’s fun to live like an animal in the woods and forget your everyday responsibilities, even animals bathe. This mobile shower will help keep you refreshed on the go. Just fill it up and let it soak in the sun to get warm.
10. Portable hammock
For relaxation emergencies, you can carry this hammock around to set up whenever you feel the urge to lounge. There aren’t always comfortable spots to sit on in the wilderness, so you have to bring the comfort with you.
