Family camping trips create cherished memories for years to come. However, to ensure the holiday is remembered for the right reasons and not because of a leaky tent and a broken BBQ, it’s best to plan your packing in advance.
To lend a helping hand, we’ve created a checklist full of family camping essentials to guarantee you’re well prepared for your outdoor adventure.
1. Easy-Use Camping
Equipment
If you’re struggling to pack, it’s a good idea to start with the basics, and when it comes to camping equipment, nothing is more important than your tent.
Once it’s ready, fill your tent with mats, airbeds and sleeping bags to make sure your night under the stars is a comfortable and cosy one.
2. Family Mealtimes
After setting up your sleeping arrangements, the next thing on the agenda is food. While you could go to a local café, eating outside will help the whole family get into the camping spirit.
Even so, picnicware is just as vital as the food (well, almost!). Don’t forget to stock up on reusable plastic plates, cups and a picnic rug for fuss-free family meals.
3. Comfy Clothing
It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference when you’re camping. For example, you might be surprised at how much an extra pair of socks can brighten up your mood when you’ve got damp feet.
4. Wet Weather
Essentials
It’s no secret that the British weather isn’t the most reliable. One minute it’s bright sunshine and the next you’re running from the rain. With this in mind, it’s useful to be prepared for a few showers.
5. Home Comforts
We know that finding time for a trip away isn’t always possible. Thankfully, you don’t need to travel far to enjoy a camping experience. In fact, you can have all the benefits by setting up camp in your own back garden!
It might be the summer holidays, but the new school term will come around before you know it. Make sure your children are kitted out with our school uniform collection, including school polo shirts, school shoes, gingham dresses and school trousers for boys and girls.
