A camping trip is all about getting back to nature and making a connection with the great outdoors. To this extent, people like to go back to basics and have a rudimentary approach to luxuries and comfort trappings. But on the practical side of things, there are some essential items you need to make your trip more comfortable and enjoyable, and much of that comes down to being organised and being prepared.
At the same time, being at the mercy of the weather means you have to prepare for every eventuality in terms of what you take with you and what you end up doing, so here we have listed some essential storage items for your camping trip, and have posed some questions to help you decide what to take on your next camping trip.
There are three main factors which will dictate what you take with you on your camping trip:
- Activities – What do you plan to do and does the location help you in this regard? Activities such as walking, cycling or watersports are common when on a camping trip, and some sites may have facilities where you can hire equipment and therefore don’t have to take it with you. However, if you are taking your own equipment, we can supply items such as walking boot storage bags, to keep mud out of your tent and vehicle. We have bike covers to help you transport your bicycle too, and don’t forget laundry bags for keeping all that dirty washing organised after your activities.
- Weather – This is perhaps the hardest thing to plan for, particularly if you are camping in the UK, and is the factor which most heavily influences what equipment you take with you. Gazebos are a popular item to create more space and privacy around a tent, and to also protect you from the weather, including both rain and sunshine. So our gazebo bags are ideal for transportation and for keeping these stored away when not in use. In dry weather we may like to indulge in some al fresco dining and it is possible to bring along a portable barbecue with our barbecue storage bag
- Storage needs – While tent designs have evolved to cater for various different practical needs and can now accommodate a whole family quite comfortably, you will still have everyday storage needs simply to keep the place tidy and organised. Camping holidays can become challenging, particularly if the weather isn’t being kind, so you need to avoid additional stress by keeping the place clean, tidy and organised. So in addition to the laundry bags mentioned previously, you should also consider items such as camping chair bags. Camping chairs are essential to provide a comfortable place to sit, but they also take up a lot of room, so storage bags enable you to store them out of the way, perhaps overnight when the space is needed for sleeping. You should also consider practical things such as a rotary airer for drying clothes quickly, given you won’t have much space anywhere else for drying clothes or towels. Again, our rotary drier storage bag means you can pack this away neatly when not in use and still have easy access to an important facility as and when you need it.
