Where and how to iron

- Start with lower heat and increase gradually based on the care label.
- Iron delicate fabrics inside‑out to protect the surface.
When is the best time to do laundry while camping?
A little planning helps you skip queues and save time:
- Mid‑morning or early afternoon often aligns well with day trips, so you can wash before heading out or on a break between activities.
- Stagger your loads—run the dryer as your next wash starts to keep things moving.
- Batch your laundry every few days rather than daily to minimize interruptions to your itinerary.
These timing tips are general best practices for travelers and help most guests streamline their routine.
