The Best Camping Party Lights

If you have never spent an evening sitting around a camp fire and reminiscing with old friends then you are missing out on some really great times. At times, these gatherings are simple laid back affairs and sometimes they turn into full blown parties that require planning, decorating and execution. For the times you are turning the campground into a big time party ground, lighting will become necessary as these events are obviously being held during the night time hours. Luckily, there are many options in camping party lights that will aid you in making the camping area festive and enjoyable for everyone.

If you are an avid camper, one of the first places to look for items to light the campground with will be your normal camping supplies. All campers have some form of lantern that they take with them whenever they head to the woods. Since your camping lantern is normally used to provide illumination around the campground primarily for safety reasons, this provides an excellent starting point for lighting. The safety of your guests will be a primary concern at your camping party and these lanterns can address this practical issue quite efficiently. Just remember, these gas camping lanterns can be a fire hazard if they topple over, so place the lanterns in areas that will prevent them from being knocked over by some rowdy guest.

Now that you have addressed the overall lighting of the area for safety and security purposes, it is time to look at some ways to light the campground that will add a festive touch to the surroundings. Choices in outdoor lighting that can be used for camping party lights are numerous and available in almost any theme that your imagination can dream up. In addition to the gas lanterns, some of the types of lighting that can help light specific areas will be things such as battery operated table lamps and floor lamps, or even tiki torches can be fun to use, but again, be careful with these as they can also be a fire hazard and might not be the best choice if copious amounts of alcohol will be involved.

While the practical lighting needs must be addressed, the fun can start when you set out to select the lighting for pure decorating purposes. There are numerous types of outdoor string lighting that can be used to provide a whimsical mood to your party and show your guests that creative side of you that they never knew existed. From just basic Christmas string lights to your favorite cartoon character, you will have no difficulty in locating the type lighting needed to pull off whatever theme you desire. Even if the lack of electricity nearby is an issue, many of these camping party lights are available in battery powered strings that, thanks to their LED light bulbs, will still be burning long after even the hardiest of party goers have called it a night. A visit to your local party store or some time surfing the Internet will provide you with all the lighting choices necessary to make your camping party an overall success, as well as, one of the great party events of the year.
