Camping Equipment

When setting out on a family camping trip

You will find you have space to take everything you could possibly need to make your holiday comfortable. Even if you're not going with the kids, the 'glamping' holiday is becoming ever more popular for campers who want a bit of luxury. Why not kit out your tent to make it a real home-from-home?

We have a range of gear to make your trip as basic or deluxe as you could want; take chairs so you don't have to sit on the grass, a kitchen unit to make storing and preparing food easy, and why not take an airbed to ensure a restful night? Check out the Family Camping Kitlist for more ideas.

A really great idea are the tent lights which can be positioned all around your canvas home…no more fumbling around in the dark looking for your toothbrush! The Ring Pack of 3 LEDs and the Vango Battery Powered Light Disc both have fantastic reviews and are really bright without getting hot (and the batteries last for ages!).

The most important piece of kit you take though, will of course be your tent. If you're going for luxury, or want plenty of space for the family, pick a large tent with several rooms. You'll have space to stand up and a real home to escape to if it starts to rain! The Vango Airbeams are really popular with family campers as you don't even need poles! Have a look at the Tent Guide for great advice on putting up and using tents.
