There’s nothing quite like pulling up to my campsite and turning it into my space. With just a few cleverly chosen essentials, I can transform any old patch of grass, dirt, or gravel into an inviting, functional outdoor haven.
First up, my giant outdoor rug—the ultimate game-changer. This beauty instantly defines my “patio,” even without a fancy cement slab, and keeps dirt, sand, and the great outdoors from hitching a ride inside the RV. Bonus points for how the bold design adds personality to the site!
Next, my trusty black-and-white checkered picnic table cover. It’s been through it all—rain, hail, and winds that could make you second-guess outdoor dining. Yet it’s still going strong, making picnic tables everywhere look like they belong in a magazine spread.
For practicality, my collapsible RV safety step is a lifesaver (and an ankle-saver). Whether I’m parked on uneven ground or perched up high, it ensures my descent is safe and stylish.
But let’s be honest, my favorite part is the magic that happens when night falls. Out come the star solar lanterns (hanging from double shepherd’s hooks to accompany my sunpatien and fern hanging baskets), the blue LED tape lights (which I used Alien Tape, an RVer must-have, to install) and solar pathway lights. The combo lights up the night, making my campsite feel like something straight out of a fairytale. Even better? The blue glow electrifies the white accents in my rug, creating a vibe that’s pure enchantment.
