Camping furniture essentials
Want to make your holiday even better? Then don’t head to the campsite without these two tent furniture essentials:
1. A camping chair
Whether you prefer a reclining chair, sunbed, inflatable sofa or classic camping chair, camping just isn’t the same without a seat to relax in. Yes, you could just take a blanket. But if the ground is wet or cold, you’ll feel uncomfortable pretty quickly. A camping chair brings instant comfort, anytime of day. With lots of choice available from ultra luxurious loungers to lightweight stools, there’s something for every camping adventure. Weight and ease of carrying play a big role in your buying decision. Sounds obvious, but main rule of thumb is don’t buy what you can’t transport. So if you’re going anywhere you’re likely to be carrying your chair for any distance – for example, to the beach, a festival or extreme camping - choose a folding chair that is light enough to sling over your shoulder. Save the more bulky camping furniture for longer holidays at the campsite.

2. A camping table
Oh so handy for a multitude of reasons, once you invest in a camping table, you’ll wonder how you ever camped without one. You’ll use it to rest drinks, eat meals, prepare food, play games, chat round with friends and much more. You need a folding table that’s big enough to cater for your group, but not too large that it’s hard to carry. Weight is important as you need to be able to easily move it around, but equally you don’t want something so light it will fall over. Easy Camp tables are made from lightweight yet robust materials that can deal with the rough and tumble of outdoor living. Making them reliable in windy weather and easy to carry.

Festival furniture
For festival furniture think easy furniture. You want to leave the hassle behind with furniture that is easy to set up, transport and relax in. There’s usually a long trek between the car park and the festival camping field, so you want to pack as lightly as possible. Only take what you need – an easy to carry chair or lounger is ideal. Folding furniture is best as you can throw it over your shoulder and leave the other hand free for other belongings. If there’s a group of you, consider an inflatable sofa, which you can all help to carry and inflate. Fun and luxurious, you’ll be the envy of the festival field and have the perfect place to chill out before hitting the main event. A hammock is another festival favourite, the brighter the better!

Camper van furniture
We’re a great fan of the campervan. You can go anywhere at anytime, the world is yours to explore. But just because you’re on the road, doesn’t mean you need to rough it. The right camper furniture will make your trips more comfortable and happier for everyone. Space can be tight in a camper van so you need folding furniture that you easily store out the way when not in use. Folding outdoor furniture is ideal as you can use it inside and outside the camper van. Essentials include a folding chair for every person on the trip and a folding table. You might also want to invest in some folding cupboards, as it’s much easier to move around a tidy campervan than a messy one.

Bring home comforts to the campsite with luxurious glamping furniture. This is all about ultimate comfort and easy outdoor living every step the way. We’re talking chairs you can sink into. Sofas you can snuggle up together on. And practical kitchen tables that take the hassle out for al fresco cooking. For relaxing, go for inflatable furniture that lets you lounge in style anywhere. Choose from sofas, loungers, easy chairs, double movies seats and more. For no-fuss cooking, try a kitchen table and cupboard combo. These offer a windshield to protect from the elements and a handy place to store utensils, pots and pans. You’ll also need a sturdy camping table that’s large enough for everyone to sit round.

Looking after your camping furniture
Keep your furniture for camping looking great year after year with these handy tips:
Clean the furniture before packing it away
Dirty furniture is a breeding ground for mould and bacteria – so make sure your camping furniture is clean and completely dry before you store it away.
For hard surfaces:
1. Wipe down surfaces with warm soapy warm
2. Dry thoroughly
3. Spritz with antibacterial solution
For material surfaces:
1. Spot clean any dirty areas with warm soapy water
2. Disinfect entire surfaces with antibacterial solution
3. Leave in the sun to dry thoroughly
For inflatable furniture:
1. Inflate the furniture and sweep away loose dirt using a soft brush or your hand (or vacuum if you’re at home)
2. Sponge down any dirty marks with soapy water. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals as they could ruin the material
3. Dry the inflatable furniture thoroughly before you pack it away
Keep your camping furniture safe at the campsite
It’s best to store your camping furniture in your tent at night and when you go out. This stops birds or other animals soiling it and prevents it getting wet in a downpour. A soggy camping chair is not what anyone needs! If space is an issue, tables can be left outside but it’s worth giving them a clean in the morning before you sit down to eat breakfast.
For inflatable furniture, always check the ground before you inflate to make sure there are no sharp objects that could pierce the material. If you do get a puncture, use a patch repair kit to fix the leak.
How to fix a puncture on inflatable furniture:
1. Find the puncture:
- Fill a water bottle with soapy water (only use a couple of drops of mild detergent)
- Spray the soapy water all over your inflatable furniture
- Start rolling the inflatable furniture up – bubbles will form around the leak
2. Fix the puncture:
- Clean off all the soapy water and let it dry
- Attach the puncture patch following the instructions on the repair kit
Store your furniture correctly
Camping furniture needs to be stored somewhere cool and dry. We recommend covering it with a sheet or similar to keep dust off. Inflatable furniture should be stored deflated and packed away inside a carry bag or box. Make sure all the air is out before packing it away. Don’t store inflatable furniture in plastic as this can cause mould.
