Tent holidays: a comprehensive guide to what to pack so you don’t forget a thing

Sleeping in a tent is one of the most authentic ways to enjoy a holiday in the great outdoors. Direct contact with nature, the freedom to plan your own days, and the charm of evenings under the stars make camping a unique experience, perfect for families, couples and adventure lovers.

But to truly enjoy a camping holiday, it’s essential to set off well prepared. Forgetting an important item can turn a relaxing stay into a daily challenge. So here’s a complete guide to what to pack for a camping holiday, with everything you need to make the most of your experience.
 

Tent and sleeping gear




The star of the show is, of course, the tent. Before setting off, it’s always a good idea to check that it comes complete with pegs, guy ropes and a groundsheet. To ensure a good night’s sleep, you’ll need a good sleeping mat or an inflatable bed, a season-appropriate sleeping bag and a compact travel pillow.

Even a light blanket can come in handy on cooler evenings, especially in coastal areas.
 

Lighting and power supply


When the sun goes down, a torch or camping lamp becomes essential for getting around the pitch with ease. To charge smartphones, cameras or other electronic devices, it is useful to bring a power bank and an extension lead, which is often needed to connect to the power points.
 

Cooking whilst camping: what not to forget


For many campers, preparing meals in the open air is an integral part of the experience. That’s why it’s a good idea to make sure you have all the necessary equipment before you set off.

A camping stove, a few lightweight pans, reusable crockery and a cool bag may be all you need to sort out breakfast, lunch and dinner on your own. A multi-purpose knife, a sponge and some washing-up liquid for daily cleaning can also prove particularly handy during your stay.

To make the most of the outdoor space, it’s also a good idea to bring a folding table and some camping chairs, perfect for relaxing, eating al fresco or enjoying pleasant moments with friends.


Practical clothing for every situation


When camping, it’s best to choose comfortable and versatile clothing. As well as summer clothes, it’s always a good idea to pack a jumper, a light jacket and a raincoat to cope with any changes in the weather. You’ll also need comfortable shoes for walks and hikes, along with a pair of slippers to wear in communal areas and in the showers.
 

Personal hygiene and handy little accessorie


To enjoy a carefree holiday, simply pack a handy bag with everything you need for personal hygiene: towels, toiletries, sun cream and insect repellent. A small first-aid kit can also come in handy for dealing with minor mishaps, allowing you to enjoy your stay with complete peace of mind.
