All of our vehicles are designed to be set up from driving to camping modes in under five minutes. From pulling up at your favourite camping spot to sitting with your beer or G&T under the stars, with your bed ready and the fire lit. No messing around with fiddly gear and wrestling with clumsy roof tents or flimsy ground tents, just well-designed, well-engineered, easy-to-use kit. Our team’s camping gear is tested over the years, and we only recommend what we know lasts.
Here are some of our favourites.
Front Runner Camp Kitchen Utensil Set
“We love the Front Runner kitchen utensil set; in our opinion it’s one of the best on the market. It is perfect for overland camping as it packs all of the essential utensils needed for your adventure and wraps up into a compact bag that keeps everything stowed away in one place. The cutlery that is included as standard is good quality – no flimsy camping cutlery in sight. Unroll the bag, hang it from a roof rack, a door or a tree, and cook away.”
Snow Peak Fireplace Starter Set
£284, uk.snowpeak.com
“No camping trip is complete without sitting out under the stars with the crackling of burning wood and smell of toasting marshmallows. We love this Snowpeak firepit as space saving is vital when off adventuring and this firepit folds up flat and has its own carry bag. The aluminium pit heats quickly and distributes the heat well to keep you toasty.”
Outwell Feast Set
£51.99, outwell.com
“A great stacking pan set which saves space – a necessity for any overland or wild camper. They are non-stick and heavy-duty yet lightweight. For our campers they have also stood the test of time with countless camping trips and barely a scratch to the non-stick. They’re really easy to clean up afterwards, too.”
Front Runner Wolf boxes
“These tough, stackable boxes are great for storing all our camping equipment that we send out on our rentals. They are a perfect size, incredibly durable, stackable and can even double up as an extra camp seat. The newer version of these handy boxes is the Wolf Pack Pro, which can be customised with a higher lid and other accessories.”
iKamper Skycamp 2.0 roof tent
From £3000, ikamper.uk.com
“A roof tent is a must, especially travelling as a family. We love this roof tent for our customers as it is super quick and easy, up and ready in two minutes. It will comfortably sleep a family of four with room to spare and the added bonus of a sky view window which gives extra light and allows you to see the stars at night. We also have an iKamper annexe room which gives us extra storage space, as well as keeping warm and dry when accessing the roof tent.”
ARB Delux Awning Room
£315.52, arb4x4.co.uk
“This awning room is a great addition to our Dormobile camper. The awning room attaches to our ARB awning and it is quick and easy to set up and gives extra storage space. If you are camping as a large family, it can even be used as an extra bedroom, creating a two-bed set-up. On cold, wet days it is fantastic for having that extra space for games to entertain the younger adventurers.”
ARB Touring Camp Chair
£86, tuff-trek.com
“These camp chairs have extra padding on the seat and backrest and are also slightly wider than the average camping chair which makes them super-comfy. There is a small detachable table on the armrest which is perfect for your campfire drink. They too have lasted the test of time over all our many rentals.
Rhino Rack Batwing Awning
£722, rhinorack.com
“The batwing is an amazing awning that covers a huge area, creating a dry outdoor space to sit under. As with all our kit, it is easy to use and can be up in under two minutes. The wrap-around design covers the side of the vehicle and the back door and is easily stowed away on the side of the Land Rover. With the optional sides/doors, you have a big entertaining space and shelter from the elements.”
