The ultimate camping kit round-up

Top of the tents

Let’s start with the obvious. This is going to be your home for the next few days, so you want to get this one right. If you’re a camping newcomer, let us tell you something: there is little worse than waking up to a leaking, sagging tent and nothing worse than said leak entering your sleeping space. For the ultimate crowd-pleaser, try this Vango Beta 550XL Five Man Family Tent. Perfect for small families or a group of friends, the tent is spacious, comfortable, easy to pitch and incredibly stable, yet won’t break the bank. It’s so cosy – we love!
