It might not feel like it just now, but the summer camping and glamping season will be here before we know it. If you're planning ahead for 2024, you'll want all the right camping accessories to ensure you have happy campers and a stress-free staycation.
Your packing list for a camping trip, from luxury camping equipment to budget products, will include everything you need for enjoyable sleeping outdoors.
However you're planning to spend your trip, whether it's couples' glamping or a stay at a child-friendly holiday park, packing some must-have camping accessories will help you sleep under the stars in comfort and luxury.
Once you've got your camping tent and know where you're going, you can stock up on all the right camping accessories, including camping chairs, a coolbox, a fan and water carrier. Our list of camping essentials includes the best sleeping bag, lantern and even footwear for walking around the campsite.
To help you check off your camping accessories list and enjoy hassle-free camping this year, here's our pick of the UK's best camping accessories to buy online from the likes of Cotswold Outdoor, John Lewis, Ellis Brigham and more.
Need a camping accessory for all your camping accessories? This handy folding trolley will help take the weight off and get your gear from the car to the campsite. It's got chunky wheels and a long pull handle to help you lug your bits with ease, as well as mesh storage pockets for smaller essentials.
A must-have in the summer, if you're after camping accessories to keep you cool in the seasonal heat, this one will do the trick. Outwell's camping fan is light, weighing less than a kilo, and comes with a long-length three-metre cable. It's freestanding and ideal for placing by your bed at night.
To say this is an essential camping accessory is an understatement. It will take your trip from testing to luxurious immediately, powering almost all your devices from phones and kettles to portable coffee makers and even film projectors. It's also incredibly fast to recharge, getting to 80% in 43 Minutes with a special ultra-fast mode.
Who says you can't cook up a culinary storm while camping? This unbelievably neat little five-piece cooking accessory set has everything you need to create delicious dishes to enjoy under the stars. There's a cheese grater, bottle opener, vegetable peeler, pizza cutter and a garlic or ginger grinder, all made from durable materials.
Mess can happen all too easily when camping, which is why this four-shelf cupboard is such a clever use of space. It's compact, portable and so easy to set up, formed of an all-in-one folding frame and protective fabric cover. It's perfect for storing food, crockery and other essential camping items. Plus, it's surprisingly light to carry around when you're moving from place to place.
Every camper needs a water bottle and Black + Blum's revolutionary design comes with a charcoal stick inside to filter your tap water (FYI, this lasts six months!). It's leak-proof thanks to the natural cork and silicone seal, and the curve shape ensures comfort for your hand. Most importantly, it's eco-friendly, with zero BPA, making it our top camping accessory pick.
A coolbox is a camping accessory every camping trip needs and this Outwell one holds up to 24L of food and drink. It keeps your contents approximately 20 degrees below the outside temperature and has an internal divider too.
Ideal for wearing in your tent or around the campsite, these comfortable slip-on clogs are comfy and perfect for relaxing in after long days of hiking or other adventures. They're super-lightweight for easy carrying to your trip and they offer natural odour control so you can wear them for hours. We love the non-slip sole and the soft EVA cushioning for comfort. The Shanti comes up small so we'd recommend going half a size up.
This battery-powered camping lantern is bright enough to light up a whole tent. It's easy to use, with different lighting modes - daylight, warm white, combined, flashing - and it can be hung up from either end too.
A compact and lightweight camping table that's affordable and solid, this essential from Decathlon easily fits in the boot of your car. There's space to share a meal or a game of cards and we like the mesh storage for plates, cutlery and other bits.
Perfect for campers who want to feel at home, this bedside table gives you a compact space to store your glasses, rest your book and keep your phone while you sleep. The shelf is removable and reveals the large storage compartment, where you can place your essentials (from your hand cream to your ear plugs) and there are pockets for the smallest items.
With its 1.4-litre capacity, hard aluminium construction and convenient handle that folds down, this is a camping accessory everyone will thank you for. It's durable and the bottom of the kettle is threaded to make the heat more even.
If comfort is key for your camping trip, this self-inflating mat is worth considering. The camping accessory comes as a double mat, making it ideal for couples. You simply unroll it, open the self-inflation valves and they'll automatically suck in the air. There's expanding foam for support and insulation. When you're ready to go home, the mat easily rolls up for you to pop it in its bag.
This soft arm chair has padding on the seat and backrest and an insulated cup holder to keep your cuppa warm while you relax. We like the strong and sturdy frame for a more premium camping chair.
For something cosy and for two, try curling up on this camping sofa that's padded and has a storage pocket at the back. Its solid steel frame and soft cushioning is just what you need for a little home comfort anywhere.
Camping in the UK means exploring beautiful scenery and going on fun adventures but we all know that the weather doesn't always play ball. For days when the heavens open (or even when they don't), The Muck Boot Company's Outscape offer the perfect cross between a welly and a trainer. They're incredibly comfy, 100 per cent waterproof and lightweight for footwear you'll want to live in during your camping trip. You can wear them on mixed terrain and they're perfect for gardening too when you're home from your holiday. They come in a men's design, too.
You don't have to compromise on cookware with this lightweight and durable set of pans, which includes an aluminium frying pan, three pots and a kettle, plus a universal handle. They all pack up in one small tower making them very easy to transport.
One for organised campers, this storage organiser will help keep your tent tidy. Use it to store shoes, clothes, books and other camping accessories. It's also compact and lightweight, packing down flat at the end of your trip.
You can't cook up a storm without a gas stove! This one from Outwell uses small handy gas cartridges and flexible hoses for more versatile use on-site. It offers fast and efficient cooking, with wide pot stands and precise control knobs. The camping accessory is easy to clean too!
Prefer an induction hob? This one from Vango featured a heating lock to ensure your pans stay warm while cooking. We like the wipe down surface to make cleaning up simple. It works with stainless steel bottom pans and the automatic pans sensor will let you know if your cookware isn't compatible.
