Camping Gear For Campsite Comfort

Don’t rough it, camp in comfort

Camping offers a chance to escape, unplug and relax from the stresses of our busy everyday lives. With a bit of planning, not only can camping offer a great way to immerse yourself in the wild, but it can also be comfortable and relaxing.

Whilst camping isn't always everyone's first idea of a relaxing and comfortable time away, trips where you don’t have to carry your gear far from the car offer the chance to experience a whole new world of comfort; providing the excitement of a wild setting with the features that make a camp feel like home.

So, before you pack up and head off for your next camping adventure, we've put together the following tips on how to enjoy a comfy night under the stars.


Go big with your camping mattress

When your car is carrying the weight of your gear, there’s no reason to skimp on your mattress. Get a thick and luxurious double airbed and rest in true comfort.

The Helinox Cot One Convertible Cot is another option, lifting you off the ground to provide the ultimate outdoor sleeping experience. 

And if you're worried about the cooler nights, than grab a Rumpl to throw over your sleeping bag for the ultimate comfortable sleep in the wild.


Go even bigger with your tent

Without the restriction of having to carry your tent, you can go large and revel in its roominess. Expect extra height, lots of storage pockets and large porches to hang out in if the weather takes a turn for the worst.

Tent’s like Vango's Longleat II 800XL give the space and comfort needed for relaxed camping trips. Fitting up to eight people, the mirrored layout has two queen-sized bedroom pods at either end and thanks to dark nightfall fabric, you can enjoy a lie-in without sunrise waking you up.


Don’t forget the kitchen sink

If you’re a hard-core backpacker you might have to rest your head on a pair socks instead of a pillow and cut the handle off your toothbrush in an effort to save weight, but a relaxed car camping trip will allow you to pack all the extras that’ll make your trip more enjoyable.

Roomier sleeping bags, extra blankets and pillows coupled with your bigger mat will make sleeping a joy, while your cooking options expand significantly with bigger stoves, larger pans and an array of utensils opening up a whole world of culinary creatively.

More kit requires more organisation. A couple of large plastic storage boxes with all your kit neatly arranged will make packing and transporting simple. Keeping these boxes pre-packed at home will encourage last-minute getaways to make the most of any opportunity that arises.
