Spring is only days away now, and though we are still in the month of March, everyone associates the saying, “April showers bring May flowers!” with spring. More often than not, those showers begin well before April, which can put a damper on spring camping for some. But if you aren’t put off by a few raindrops on your camping adventures, you’ll at least want to make sure you have the proper gear to keep you and your belongings safe and dry throughout the duration of your trip. Here are just a few great waterproof pieces of gear for your spring camping trips from SunnySports.
