Stocking up for camping usually means grabbing the small bits that make a pitch and a brew less of a faff. This Halfords camping sale covers a mixed bundle of basics that sit alongside the likes of Go Outdoors own-brand kit and budget ranges from Decathlon, aimed at occasional campers and festival trips rather than ultralight hiking.
Who is this for?
If you are building a starter box for the car boot, these are the sort of items you will keep using. A rubber mallet helps get pegs in cleanly without bending them, and it is kinder to your hands than a rock. The 3.6m x 2.4m groundsheet gives you a barrier under a tent or tarp, useful for damp grass and muddy pitches. Enamel mug and bowl are campsite classics, they handle knocks better than ceramics, while the 16oz travel mug suits hot drinks on the drive in. A set of six tumblers is geared towards group trips.
- Groundsheet size: 3.6m x 2.4m for larger footprints or communal areas
- Travel mug capacity: 16oz for longer drinks between refills
