The U.K. is home to some of the most beautiful camping locations in the world. And over the past few years, camping and caravanning across the country have become more popular than ever, with trips up by more than 71% in 2021. Since the pandemic, at least 4.5 million people have tried camping domestically for the very first time.
As many of them discovered, having the right gear can make or break your camping experience. As the summer travel season kicks into full swing, more of us are heading out into the lush British countryside to quench our thirst for outdoor adventure. And there’s one family-owned and -run U.K. company that’s ready to make sure we do it properly.
Expanding your world
With a huge inventory of more than 20,000 camping products at the ready, Camping World has been supplying the U.K. with high-quality tents, awnings, camping furniture, sleeping bags, and camp beds for more than 20 years. And with five family members actively involved in its day-to-day operations, along with a dedicated, hand-picked staff of more than 50, the company is known for its exceptional, personalized customer service.
Whether you’re shopping on its award-winning website, which features speedy, trackable, and secure worldwide shipping, or at one of its three superstores in Sussex, London, or the New Forest, that family-run ethos is evident in every product and purchase.
“One thing to be sure of is that at Camping World, we are fanatical about camping, and this is followed through with our product range,” the founders say. “If we wouldn’t use it, we won’t stock it — it’s as simple as that.”
In fact, the company stands behind its selections with an industry-leading 12-month return period for exchanges or credit, and a dedicated returns team to guarantee quick processing.
“We know that as a customer it is important to have faith in the company you are buying from, especially if you are purchasing high-value items or urgently need something delivered at a specific time,” the company says.
There’s a tent for that
When it comes to tents, Camping World has some of the biggest outdoor displays in the country, often with dozens of tents set up throughout the camping season for browsing at each of its locations. For sleeping under the stars, you won’t find a better selection. With major brands like Outwell, Kampa, Easy Camp, Robens, BCB Adventure, and Gelert, there’s something for every need and budget, whether you’re shopping for a one-man trekking tent or a luxury family setup for 10.
With a roomy three-zone design, the Outwell Winwood 8 Tent for 2022 features four separate bedrooms and sleeps up to eight. There’s even a wet room and a dry room, an additional side door for flexible access, and a bedroom that can be taken down to create a larger living area. For the ultimate comfort camping experience, the Winwood has a panorama front, a rear ventilation system, and many light-filled windows with insect-free mesh. The large, tinted windows reduce glare and ensure privacy. The inner door features a magnetic closure for quick and quiet coming and going, and a warm-toned flysheet roof produces a bright and welcoming internal glow.
Made from breathable HydroTex Polycotton fabric, this year’s quick-pitching Robens Klondike Grande Tent can sleep nine comfortably, with a vertical door that allows for seamless stand-up access. Surrounded by protective eaves, the Klondike provides ideal shelter from rough rain and weather. There’s also a zip-in groundsheet that can be rolled away to create a safe area for a tent stove, and the new Internal Apex Vent Control can be opened from the inside with just two cords.
Sleep tight
It goes without saying that Camping World has all of your outdoor sleeping needs covered, too. Part of Outwell’s new top range of sleeping bags, the Constellation Lux Double Sleeping Bag offers ample room for couples, with a durable brushed outer, cotton lining, and premium Isofill inside for maximum warmth and comfort.
For even more cushy luxury, try the Outwell Flock Superior Double Airbed with Built in Pump. At a height of 45 cm, the design offers campers a soft, well-insulated sleeping platform above the ground. The raised, all-around edging provides firmness and stability.
Gear for road warriors
For caravanners, Camping World offers the best of everything on the market, from awnings to gear. That includes the original Dometic Rally Pro 390 (poled) Caravan Awning, a classic lightweight hybrid awning made from high-quality coated Weathershield Pro material with an aluminium and fibreglass frame. And with single-point inflation technology, the quick-pitching Dometic Grande AIR Pro 390 Awning creates an ideal — and exceptionally strong — social space in minutes.
For an all-in-one outdoor cooking solution that’s light enough to take anywhere, the portable Cadac Carri Chef 50 BBQ/Chef Pan Combo features easily interchangeable cooking surfaces and great gas control. And the low-current, ultra-efficient Totalcool Totalfreeze 55 Litre Portable Fridge Freezer is a caravanner’s dream with an ergonomic, portable design that provides cooling or freezing to an impressive –20° C.
Ready to surround yourself with nature this summer? Put some stakes in the ground and let the outdoor adventures begin. And if one of Camping World’s amazing inflatable outdoor hot tubs happens to fall into your cart, all the better.
