Because of this you must therefore look for a site you can sleep on comfortably without much hustle. This is why you shall need to look for a place that is level that does not have protrusions from the ground.

Another very important factor that most people usually ignore is the need for shade in the tent. It will be very uncomfortable waking up with the bright sun rays in the tent. To avoid a situation like you will need to look for an area with a shade. If you cannot find an area with shade all day at least find a site with shade in the morning.

Safety is important and one should ensure that they pitch their tent in a safe place. Always look above you to make sure there is nothing that could fall and kill you in your tent while you are asleep. This could be a dead branch of a tree that could fall at any time. Also keep off areas that are prone to rock falling this is very unpredictable so keep off to be safe.

You should also be careful that you do not camp near a water body. This can be very dangerous especially during the rainy days. Flooding is a possibility and it can be deadly. Also insects and animals are attracted to water bodies.

Privacy is very important to some people. They usually prefer staying alone. Some of them even go camping so that they can get away from the world. To ensure that they get this privacy look for a place that does not have other tents. Make sure that you are not very far from others because you can have an emergency and you will need their help.
