You Will Need

  • Romantic destination
  • Outdoor activites
  • Cooler with food and beverages
  • Warm blankets
  • 2 sleeping bags that zip together
  • Isolation (optional)
  • Fire starter or matches and candles (optional)

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Choose a spot

    Choose a romantic spot for your campsite and make reservations a few weeks in advance. Consider a site on an ocean or lake, in the mountains, or desert canyon.

  2. Choose an isolated location to allow you and your partner the privacy to do as you please.

  3. Step 2

    Keep it short

    Limit your trip to two days and one beautiful night to remember. Going too long without a shower, a comfy bed, and modern conveniences can dampen even the most romantic feelings.

  4. Step 3

    Plan activities

    Plan activities to do together during the day that you both enjoy, like hiking, mountain biking, sailing, skiing, horseback riding, or just walking on the beach.

  5. Step 4

    Bring easy food

    Bring a cooler full of picnic food and a bottle of wine, hot cocoa, or your favorite beverages -- and don't forget a decadent dessert.

  6. Bring a fire starter to light a campfire for snuggling in front of or light some candles for instant romance.

  7. Step 5

    Sleep together

    Keep blankets handy to stay warm together. Before bed, zip two sleeping bags together so you can snuggle and spoon after your great outdoor adventures.

  8. Studies have shown that people feel more romantic when they've gotten some exercise during the day.
