Camping along with many other outdoor excursions may be a lot of fun for an entire family, however lacking the right lights that fun experience may be extremely dangerous. A campsite located in a dark clearing will be very hard to move around in, and you may end up tripping over the terrain or other things that you might not even want to think about. You might even discover some small insects in your campsite that have a tendency to keep you company at night in your tent or sleeping bag. For the best experience and for safety, you need to have some light sources included in your camping gear.

Though you could set a fire for your camping needs, fires can be dangerous to contain and do not offer enough light to see clearly. Flashlights work well during any type of situation and are safe to use. However, fumbling around for a flashlight in the dark can also be a pain. When camping a glow in the dark flashlight is easy to see and offers the same portability as a regular flashlight. Headlamps or flashlights that are attached to your head, allow you hands free movement. Beyond just illuminating the area, these headlamps work well to allow you to continue during activities such as reading in your tent or cleaning up the camp area before going to bed.

Lanterns are great for lighting up the great outdoors because they tend to give off a very strong bright light. Fuel-burning lanterns are great and do give off enough light for a campsite, though they do have some serious issues. One of which is the obvious, and the other is the fact that fuel costs can add up. If you want to be economical then get a lantern that utilizes the same fuel that you use to heat your home, that way you don't have to buy two different types of fuel. You also need to help in mind that the fuel can quickly weigh down your backpack.

Electric lanterns are another option to consider and are the lantern of choice for many experienced campers. They offer the same bright lighting source as fuel-burning lanterns but are more convenient since fuel is not needed and there is no smell when using them. For a longer battery life, try a LED lantern. Some versions of LED lanterns can light up the night for several days on a single charge. Those with a crank are worth considering for those who do not mind a little physical labor or want an environmentally friendly lighting source. Typically each crank on these rechargeable lanterns offers only a few minutes of light, so multiple cranks are needed to get enough light for the entire night.

Solar powered flashlights and lanterns are also becoming a great addition to camping gear. Since they only use solar power these lighting sources are less expensive as batteries are not needed. Simply let them charge up during the daytime and turn them on after dark.

Regardless of what you need, there will be a light for you. The light will illuminate your campsite and bring joy to you and anyone else with you. These lights will make sure that your trip is a great one, so do your best to find the one that is right for you.
