SEVEN CAMPING MUST-HAVES FOR 2017

CampingJason Koppel

Whether you’re a solo camper looking for a quiet escape from it all under the star for a few nights, a festival-goer, or a busy family after a fun way to have an affordable holiday, we have a great collection of must-have products to take on your trip(s) away this year.

Perfect for festivals or busy camp sites, where telling your tent apart from your neighbour’s is a lot trickier than you’d imagined once it’s dark, these LED tent pegs could be just what you’re after. No more stumbling over your guy ropes when these magic little pegs clearly mark the way back to your temporary canvas oasis.

If you want an alternative to the classic folding camping chair, an instantly inflatable hammock chair could be just the ticket. Filled with air in just seconds, these incredibly comfortable hammocks are perfect for festivals or campsites where you have to carry your stuff from the car, as they weigh virtually nothing and fold away into their own carry bag.

Wherever you’re camping, having a way to share your favourite music with your friends or family is a must. A rechargeable wireless outdoor Bluetooth speaker can play any tunes you like from your phone, and also has built-in USB and SD slots to give you even more options.

When you’re staying in a tent, where space is at a premium, the more organised and tidy you can keep everything, the better for everyone! A handy raised place to store your cooker (complete with wind shield for when you use it outside) and built in storage for food and/or kitchen essentials means that a civilised cuppa or a hearty meal is that much easier to manage. As with all the best camping accessories, this pantry set folds up into its own convenient carry bag.

We all hope that every camping trip is full of nothing but sunshine; but, sadly, that is all too often not the case. Making sure that your phone and other valuables stay safe and dry is easy though, with these waterproof PVC pouches. Great for the beach, camping or any kind of outdoor activity, these pouches come with a neck lanyard for extra security, and have a clear window so you don’t have to miss any of those vital phone notifications.

You don’t want to be lugging around heavy BBQs when you’re camping, so a small bucket BBQ is the ideal way to still enjoy dining alfresco this summer, without the hassle of a large cooker. Using either charcoal or wood chips as fuel, this convenient contained BBQ looks great and performs brilliantly.

There are few things worse when camping than your torch battery running out just when you need it most. That can’t happen when you don’t need batteries for light though! A wind-up dynamo camping lantern can be hung from your tent roof or placed on the floor to give you up to 20 minutes of light from 1 minute of winding. Bright LEDs maximise the light whilst minimising the power usage, so you need never be left in the dark again when camping.
