The final piece to the puzzle as far as your camping gear goes is where and how it can be stored for easy access and sorting in between trips in readiness for a quick getaway at any time.

So you’ve packed your car, you’ve arrived safely at the campground – hopefully with plenty of daylight left – and now it’s time to locate your site, pitch your tent and set up your campsite.

With our help, you will be amazed at how much your car can comfortably and safely carry while still staying within the payload limit, or the designated weight carrying capacity of the car.

Getting your camping setup together is only half the camping battle. Here is an easier way to prepare for camping and to pitch, pack up, and store your gear at home.

You’ve decided on a camping getaway and cleared your diary. Now it’s time to decide on where you want to go, actually find that ideal campsite, and if necessary, book it.

Choose durable clothing to suit the weather and your planned activities when you’re camping, and you’ll stay comfortable in the great outdoors.

Our philosophy is “buy well and buy once”, and that is never more so relevant than to both your bedding and tent. We can’t stress enough how important it is to have good quality and reliable sleeping gear that can provide you with the best possible night of sleep.

The increasingly greater choice of camping furniture and chairs on the market in the camping stores may tempt you to splash out on that special item of comfort without thinking too much about its size or weight.

Knowing what to do in an emergency is only half the battle. Being organized and properly equipped with a well-stocked first aid kit and other useful items can really give you peace of mind knowing you are doing everything you can for your health and safety.

Keeping clean and fresh while camping can be achieved with simple solutions and without the need for elaborate and bulky items which, in the context of our style of car camping without a trailer, will be impossible to transport.

Your refrigeration options for camping are fairly broad from the fairly lightweight esky’s to the higher cost and heavy compressor fridges. You don’t need a large icebox or fridge for 4-5 people if you are smart about how you manage your fridge and food/drinks.

Camping in the great outdoors is a hungry business for everyone, and there is absolutely no reason why meals prepared in our somewhat limited camp kitchen can’t be easy, stress-free, extremely rewarding, and just plain delicious!

A good lighting setup will provide a mixture of general or ambient light for general illumination, task lighting for reading / cooking / playing games, and directional lighting for spotlighting and pathways.

Power and fuel options for your campsite can vary depending on your requirements. We’ll help you figure out what you need.

Setting up and maintaining a campsite doesn’t require a lot of bulky and heavy tools and equipment, but you will need some carefully chosen items for camping.

Identifying the right tent to suit you and your requirements can be difficult, especially if you are new to camping and sleeping in tents.

Your choice of a car might not seem the obvious place to start for a camping website, but it is really the key to comfortable car camping and the safe transporting of you, your family, and your gear – trailer free.
