Double and triple check that you have everything you need with you. We don't "rough it" anymore, we have a little travel trailer and it's stashed with diabetic stuff! When you are out exploring, you can end up walking further than you realize and thus get more exercise and go low, I have a fanny pack that I keep glucose tabs and my cel phone in if I go off for a hike. We are going on a trip at the beginning of June and I have already been grocery shopping for things like granola bars to keep in the cupboard in case I wake up a little low. I also try to pre-plan the meals so I know there will be something healthy for me to eat, and I won't give in to the s'mores that everyone is munching on! Some nice meal ideas are things like grilled steaks with grilled veggies on the side (zucchini, carrots, etc...), shish-kebabs (you can assemble ahead of time and just put them in a zip bag.) We usually do a sausage-egg scramble for breakfast. I have a case of bottled water under the dinette seat and stock the fridge with diet soda!
