Touring Caravanning

A round up of the best camping accessories

From battery-powered lanterns to a charcoal wagon barbecue, here is our round up of the best camping accessories around.

Camping has always been a favourite pastime of the British and with the restrictions on travel that have been brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, more and more of us are choosing to staycation under canvas or in a caravan. However, unless you are a committed, extreme, off-grid camper, everyone likes their home comforts and a touch of luxury while they’re away. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of accessories that will make your holiday even more enjoyable, with accessories to make camping under the stars more comfortable.

Airbed

Sleeping on a hard surface is good for your back, but feeling every pebble and tig is far less so. Wherever you are, an airbed under your sleeping bag will help you to drift off more quickly and help you have a good night’s sleep. Available in single bed or double bed size, the Kampa Dometic Airlock Bed has the added advantage of raising you slightly off the ground.

Lantern

When the light from a campfire isn’t quite enough to light your way to the bathroom, or you need some ambient light to play board games in the evening, our Kampa Dometic Beacon Lantern is perfect! The clear glass body design allows 360 degree light and the lantern can be suspended easily.

First Aid Kit

Every camper should have a first aid kit ready to go. For the casual camper, our Draper Redline First Aid Kit has everything you need for treating common injuries and is ideal for leisure use. The Draper First Aid Kit is equipped for the more ardent camper and would be ideal for the caravan or car.

Coolbag

The must-have accessory for every camping trip, a coolbag is the perfect accessory for a day out on holiday, perhaps to the beach. The Navigate Coast Personal Cool Bag is perfect for summer days out, as the high density insulated compartment keeps contents chilled for up to 4 hours, and it is available in a choice of aqua and navy.

A camping kettle

The one accessory everyone will thank you for! Especially after a long journey or a hard day sightseeing when all you want to do is relax with a hot cuppa. The Kampa Dometic Billy 2 has a generous 2L capacity and can be used on hotplates and stoves.

Gas Stove

Cook up a storm on the Evo Portable Gas Stove by Kampa Dometic. The single gas burner is ideal for camping, caravanning or picnics and festivals and uses a handy, small gas cartridge for simple and safe use.

Collapsible Washing Up Bowl

Make washing up less of a chore with the collapsible bowl from Kampa Dometic. The bowl folds completely flat for easy storing, and is available in either a round or rectangular option.

Pump

This double action hand pump by Kamapa Dometic may come to the rescue at the end of a long day traveling when your party just wants to set up camp and go to bed! It comes with a selection of adaptors, making it suitable for tents and airbeds.

Camping Chair

Sitting on luxurious floor rugs round a campfire may seem romantic but for campers of a certain age, this may not be practical or comfortable! So why not sit back and enjoy that glass of wine in a Kampa Dometic Tub Chair that can be folded down and carried to the beach the following day?

Fast pitch tent

Perfect for anyone who doesn’t like faff or who doesn’t have the patience after a long journey to put a tent up! The Galiano 2-man tent by Coleman  has a pop-up mechanism allowing it to be erected in an instant. The perfect tent for a romantic weekend away.

Windbreak

A great addition to your tent, the Kampa Dometic Pro Windbreak 3 has a lightweight aluminium frame that offers a high level of stability. The aluminium support poles remove the need for guy ropes, while the horizontal panel is double-coated Weathershield Pro polyester.
