The smell of fresh air, the sound of birds singing and the first rays of sunshine, enthusiastically greeting you as the day breaks. Yes, camping is wonderful. But have you been out of touch with Mother Nature? If so, this is the perfect time to get reacquainted with the help of Camperlands, the leading online suppliers of camping equipment and campervan accessories.
If you’re cutting back while the UK economy is still in recession, there’s no need to forego your traditional two-week holiday. The popularity of camping is on the rise with more and more of us packing our tents and trailer tents, loading up on camping accessories and heading off for a fortnight in the great outdoors. The Camping and Caravan Club estimates that one third of the British population will consider camping in the UK over an overseas break this year and most parks are reporting an unprecedented surge in bookings.
Camping is easily one of the cheapest of all getaways with great trips enjoyable on even the smallest shoestring budget, camping is great fun for all the family and, while it’s kind to the pocket, it’s even kinder to the environment. Although jet travel has attempted to clean up its image with some carriers offering passengers the chance to offset their carbon footprint for a small additional fee, travelling to and from the airport and increased consumption with little likelihood of recycling while away, all contribute to a lasting carbon footprint. So if you’re looking for a way to save some money and make a difference to the world, you’ll need to pack the essentials to get the most out of your adventure.
If the thought of setting up camp is too daunting, there are some shortcut options for lazy campers: the Khyam Longleat 2009 comes equipped with Khyam’s Rapidex Quick-Pitching System, which makes it easy for anybody to set the spacious tent up. Highly stable and with plenty of space, this is a firm favourite for camping novices alike. It no time at all, your cosy home from home is securely pitched.
Of course, when your trailer tent is parked or tent pegs secured, you’ll also need somewhere to sleep. The Coleman Fission X850 Sleeping Bag is lightweight and body contoured, ensuring a snug, comfortable night of rest, especially in summer evenings when temperatures tend to drop. Highly durable and machine washable, the sleeping bag can be used year after year if the camping bug bites.
Dominic Ryder, Managing Director of Camperlands, the Manchester based firm who offer airbeds, ground sheets, tents, Motorhome equipment and caravan accessories, said, “We’re pleased to see that more people are considering camping for their summer getaway. It can be days of fun, and a chance to really enjoy the great outdoors. And if it saves you money while helping the environment, you can’t really go wrong!”
Basics like a tent and sleeping bag aside, you may want to invest in more luxurious camping accessories for your tent or folding trailer tent. Camperlands stock a massive supply of camping equipment and desirable not so essentials – from camping cookers and cutlery to powered lighting, tables, chairs and even wardrobes, larders and shelves.

The original concept was to hire frame tents out in the summer season to generate some extra income for their growing family. Today there are quite literally thousands of caravan, camping and motorhome accessories in stock, with several covered display areas dedicated to trailer tents, tents and folding campers.
