With all the rain we’ve had this spring, the bugs have been next level this year. Whether you’re camping in the Catskills or just chilling at a music festival, mosquitoes, ticks, and flies are showing up everywhere.

We’ve been there — arriving at a beautiful campsite only to spend the whole evening swatting at bugs. So this summer, we’re determined to get ahead of those pesky camp invaders. We wrote up a quick guide (mostly as a reminder to ourselves!) and thought you might want it too:

👉 How to Create a No-Bug Zone at Your Campsite (Naturally!) https://www.basecampbrooklyn.com/blog/natural-bug-free-camping-tips

Inside, you’ll find:

🌲Natural ways to repel bugs without harsh chemicals
🌲The gear we swear by (including the tool every camper should pack for ticks)
🌲A DIY essential oil spray that all our friends swear by
🌲Smart tips for staying bite-free even at dusk (yes, you can still enjoy the fire)

Because nothing should stand between you and the joy of being outside — especially not some hungry mosquitoes.
