Group Camping Budget Tips: From Shopping to Settlement
Group camping has a different liveliness and fun compared to solo camping.
However, the more people there are, the harder it is to share food shopping and expenses.
Decide the Budget Beforehand
"Let's decide after we go to the supermarket" is dangerous. Alcohol drinkers, non-drinkers, big eaters... consumption varies by member.
Set rough budget caps for "Food", "Drinks", "Site Fees", etc.
Shopping and Paying Roles
While multiple people often go shopping, it's best if one representative pays at the register.
If multiple people pay separately, adding it up later becomes difficult.
Considering Transport Costs
Consideration for those who provide cars is important. Deciding rules beforehand helps:
- Split gas and tolls explicitly
- Have drivers pay slightly less for food
Complex Splits are Instant with Apps
"A doesn't drink alcohol so minus 2000 yen", "B drove so minus 3000 yen" - complex adjustments are easy with an app.
Spend time around the campfire, not hitting a calculator.
