Look for natural shade for camping
Avoid pitching your tent or parking your caravan in direct sunlight. Choose pitches with shade from trees (such as pines or oaks), especially if you will be there for several days.
Prioritize well-ventilated tents and accommodations
Tents with windows, double roofs and breathable materials are ideal. If you opt for a bungalow, make sure it has a fan or air conditioning.
Ventilate at key moments
Open doors and windows early in the morning and in the evening to take advantage of the fresh air. At night, you can place a damp towel in front of a fan to cool the environment.
Cook outside (or eat cold)
Stoves generate heat, so it is better to cook outside or opt for cold dishes such as salads, fruit or sandwiches. Many campsites offer catering with shaded terraces.
Refresh yourself often.
Short and frequent showers, cold foot baths or even ice packs can help lower your body temperature.
Drink water and wear light clothing.
Stay hydrated all day long. Wear light, loose-fitting, cotton clothing, and don’t forget a hat and sunglasses.
