5 Camping Essentials to use in your Garden
You don’t need to travel far to enjoy the magic of camping, sometimes, the best adventures happen right in your garden.
Whether you're planning a fun night, toasting marshmallows under the stars, or simply wanting to sit back and relax in the sunshine, a garden camp-out can be the perfect mini escape.
This blog covers our five camping essentials that you can use in your garden, so let's get into it!
1 - Gazebo
Pitch a gazebo in your garden this summer to provide extra shade and relaxation. Whether you’re hosting summer BBQS, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee in the rain, or setting up a shaded play area for the kids, a gazebo offers a sheltered spot that lets you enjoy your garden in all kinds of weather.
The Vango Hogan Hub is ideal for garden use. Made from Vango Protex 70 denier fabric, it is lightweight, airy, and offers generous head height, providing ample space to unwind. If you're looking for a quick and easy pitch, then take a look at the Kampa Shelter.
Simply peg the four corners and feed them through the fibreglass poles. With an area of 3 x 3 metres, it features removable side panels, ideal for opening or closing the space as needed.
2 - Camping Table
Introducing a camping table is a simple yet significant addition to your garden. Its foldable, easy-to-set-up design, sometimes complete with chairs, makes it a convenient choice for garden parties, picnics, outdoor crafting activities, and board games in the sunshine. With this table, you can relax and enjoy your outdoor experience without any hassle.
We recommend the Outwell Corda Picnic Table set, which comes complete with four chairs. The waterproof tabletop is made with durable plastic and can be opened and folded in seconds. If you're looking for something smaller, consider the Outwell Brim Coffee Table.
This stylish coffee table would look great in any garden set-up. With easy assembly and a waterproof, plastic-mounted design, this table is both lightweight and modern.
3 - Melamine Tableware
Meet the game-changer for outdoor living: melamine tableware. Lightweight, shatter-resistant, and stylish, these sets are ideal for garden parties, picnics, BBQS, and more. Unlike ceramic and glass tableware, melamine can withstand bumps and bangs around the garden, providing you with a sense of security and peace of mind during your outdoor activities.
With a range of designs that rival traditional materials like stone and glass, our melamine sets feature modern designs in a variety of fun colours. Add a polished touch to your garden set-up.
Take a look at our range in our camping superstore. We particularly love the Flamefield shades of blue 12-piece set, complete with matching mugs.
4 - Camping Cooker
A camping stove or mini BBQ brings a whole new level of fun and flexibility to your garden setup. Compact, portable, and easy to use, it’s perfect for cooking outdoors without the need for a full-blown BBQ. Plus, it’s ideal for small spaces or quick meals when you don’t want to fire up the kitchen, just set it up, spark it up, and enjoy open-air cooking whenever the mood strikes.
Whether you're opting for sizzling sausage baps on a Sunday morning or roasting marshmallows under the stars one evening, we recommend exploring our range of Cadac Safari Chef BBQS for small spaces. With optional extras like pizza plates and roasting dishes, you'll be spoiled for choice!
5 - Cool Box
The cool box, an unsung hero of a great BBQ, offers versatility and flexibility to your outdoor experience. It keeps your drinks ice-cold, your salads crisp, and your desserts perfectly chilled, even on the hottest summer days. This versatility allows you to focus on enjoying your outdoor event, knowing that your food and drinks are well taken care of.
From electric cool boxes to boxes that hold 57 Litres worth of food and drink, we’ve certainly got the range to elevate your garden set up. The Outwell Fulmar 60L cool box is a versatile cooler that operates with either ice or an ice block. This will keep your drinks and food cooler for a longer period.
Store up to 3 1.5L bottles with the Igloo Electric Cool Box. Perfect for everyday use, this electric cool box features 12v and 24v connections.
